  I haven't looked into BitTorrent Sync, actually.  But that sounds like
it could be an improvement on torrent distribution (or at least an
additional approach).  I'm not sure to what extent user downloads are
tracked via mobile phones in the target areas, but my assumption is
100%.  Having said that, I'd like to know more -- and it makes absolute
sense for something like Orbot to be distributed friend-to-friend via
BlueTooth or something like BitTorrent Sync.
