Announcing the second alpha release of iTorrent. iTorrent allows you to 
download BitTorrent podcasts from iTunes. It transforms BitTorrent 
podcasts so that you can update them just like any other podcast in 
iTunes. Details can be found at http://www.itorrent.cc. iTorrent is 
written in Python and is released under the GPL.

With its second alpha release, iTorrent still isn't pretty, but it is 
much easier to install and run.

Technical Details: iTorrent runs as an RSS proxy on your local machine 
and will fetch enclosures from a BitTorrent network on behalf of iTunes.
The BitTorrent content will then be fed to iTunes via a standard HTTP
loopback connection.

It uses the official BitTorrent 4.4.0 code to perform the actual
downloads from a BitTorrent network. (http://www.bittorrent.com)
