One way to ensure a speedy availability of the .torrent AND a
corruption-free upload is to make the .torrent available first.

This will also help solve the issue of the dvd-sized images becoming
corrupted during upload, since there's built-in error detection and
correction in the BT protocol (the hard part is getting the initial
upload done at all at that point). We can use BT to get the images to a
high-speed server then use that server to upload to the main mirror network.

If you need help with setting up the torrents, let me know.
