Hi Marvin,

Thanks for jumping on this so quickly. I'd like to make a suggestion regarding torrent posting, though. You and others may disagree.

Bundling the iso torrent with its md5sum file is unnecessary, since the bittorrent protocol includes its own error checking for each piece of the iso file. Also, some active seeders, myself among them, prefer to download the iso files directly (using ftp or http), then use those files to seed the existing torrents. If you modify the iso (as when you bundle it with the md5sum) in your torrent, you force us to crowd onto the torrent seeds early rather than open up new, ready to use, seeds.

Does that make sense?
