How we'd go about with OLPC torrents for faster downloading:

1. sudo apt-get install bittornado # this is a canonical supported package, btw
2. transmissioncli -a http://tpb.tracker.thepiratebay.org:80/announce -c <files-to-upload> TorrentNameHere.torrent
3. Upload the torrent to TPB ( http://thepiratebay.org/upload ) or whatever tracker. ( Example username created: olpc/*REDACTED* )
4. transmission-daemon # start the daemon that will seed the torrent
5. transmission-remote -a TorrentNameHere.torrent # tell the daemon to seed the torrent

Example torrent:

(alternatively for single-usage PoC use

1. transmissioncli TorrentNameHere.torrent # seed the torrent
