How about telling us who this "Mike" is? A friend of yours? I'm sure we 
all want to know.

This is exactly the idea behind the system called Bittorrent. Bittorrent 
_has_ a central instance. Having control is one of Bittorrents 
advantages, which is also one of the reasons for it being increasingly 
deployed commercially (Mandrake+Redhat isos, IDsoftware, lots of "gaming 
sites" etc...).

This is not likely to change. Other protocols like ed2k and overnet are 
more suited for independent decentralized distribution, not relying on 
one central instance.
Use them instead if you want to get or share warez and fear that your 
tracker might be killed!

You're ridiculous.

From my understanding the whole idea introdudes lots of unnecessary 
overhead and alienates the whole Bittorrent philosophy. I will not say 
anymore to that.
