Comment combined BitTorrent and Usenet? (Score 2, Interesting) 1260

Here's an idea: distribute torrent files for the binaries on text-only newsgroups. People without access to binary groups could still get the torrents and use BT to get the actual files. The torrent files would need to be encoded as plain text but as the torrent files themselves are small that'd be a minor obstacle. No SuperNova or equivalent needed. Or have I not taken something into consideration?
