Bittorrent (Was: RE: [SUGGESTION] CVSync )

Does anyone here know how to use the latest version of Bittorrent, from a 
server vs client, perspective?  The one we are currently running is 
*ancient*, and I'd like to get that vServer upgraded and off the 
templates, but without someone that knows how to setup the newer 
bittorrent, well, that's just a scary proposition ;(
