thats not part of the torrent protocol, thats part of the client... youd have to program it in yourself, at that point, so why not just use a different method?
SVN would be great for updating, but then we lose the swarm and shared bandwidth. I doubt anyone wants to foot the bill for a server capable of serving 16 gigs of apps to thousands of users.
I see nothing wrong with just providing a monthly update to the torrent.
most linux distros have package updaters why not just have the Pandora update itself.. it does have wifi & bluetooth built in...
and there could be a available package repository as well like there is in most Linux distros.. in files similar to .exe ..they are called .rpm in Redhat i think they are .dbm for Debian / Ubuntu but i would have to look that up to be sure.. =p
but the torrent idea does sound interesting as well..
then why not just use uTorrent? also, sorry, was thinking of that vuze garbage.

What about Synaptic Package Manager? You can do upgrade, installations. You can search by name and description.
GTK+ can be ported to arm and same thing with apt-get. I'd be more then happy to port Synaptic, but there would be no point if there isn't a server.
I simply don't have the bandwidth, and due to the crash around here during the preorders, I doubt they can host one here either.
