On: Seeding torrents from S3

That's hardly a benefit, there are plenty of open trackers and DHT/PEX solves most problems.

None of them will seed on your behalf, though.

And AWS isn't seeding out of the kindness of their hearts, you're paying them to.

[ceejayoz → aroch]

Sure, but that's a perfectly fine tradeoff for some folks who want the torrent to stay up.

S3 will only do so because you're paying by the MB. It's not a free service.
