So, I have a friend that tried that once. It can be pretty hard to get decent speed with bittorrent on a stock system. Lots of different clients, all requesting different data. Plays havoc on drives. Need plenty of cache. RAID0 disk array, etc.
On top of that the linux distributions didn't seem to have that much demand, relatively speaking (FTP mirror sites across peering seem to perform better for me). To actually get enough demand to drive the throughput we wanted we had to resort to unmentionable yet far more popular content. But yes, quite fun to take something common and tune it to perform at uncommon loads.
