+<b>Implement a torrent-based scheme for downloading Thandy packages</b>

+<br />

+<a

+href="http://git.torproject.org/checkout/thandy/master/specs/thandy-spec.txt">Thandy</a>

+is a relatively new software to allow automatic updates of Tor and related

+software. Currently, there are very few users, but we expect Thandy to be

+used by almost every Tor user in the future. To avoid crashing servers on

+the day of a Tor update, we need new ways to distribute new packages

+efficiently, and using libtorrent seems to be a possible solution. If you

+think of other good ideas, great - please do let us know!<br />

+We also need to investigate how to include our mirrors better. If possible,

+there should be an easy way for them to help distributing the packages.
