Mike, of Shareaza fame, has created a program which will create torrents for BitTorrent. The kicker? While it is completely compatable with BitTorrent, it allows Shareaza (And future programs) to swarm BitTorrent sources across other networks, like Gnutella2 and ED2k.
So far on the Shareaza forums, reports are that it seems to work really well, boosting speed quite nicely.
To check out the program, it's at www.torrentaid.com
For those wondering, TorrentAid is completely open source, and the source is available here (http://www.torrentaid.com/code.htm).
Hopefully this catches on, as the "Tracker Down" message has annoyed me on more than one occasion ;)
