The BitTorrent thing isn't such a big deal since so many sites are blocking torrent traffic anyway, but they are stupid to include feeds that their app can't download. Oh, and distributing podcasts as torrents isn't the brightest idea. I understand the goal of saving bandwidth, but most companies block the traffic because it's also used so much for illegal file trading. So people are limited to download those podcasts at home.

But it does make me think of SGI, not much really mind blowing about em, but damn they sure look cool!
