Default Torrent download solution

Hello there,
As we all know regardless where we live in Lebanon the connection is known to be crappy. I am not talking about stability but about speed.
This thread may interests heavy downloaders mainly the ones who rely on torrent as a main source to get their files from.
I got a Virtual Private Server a week ago and i am discovering lot of wonderful things.
I was looking for an important file like 2 months ago and i couldn't find it anywhere but as torrent file so i tried to figure out how to get it until this morning i thought about installing a torrent client on my VPS to download the files i want then i can download them via http later on since i cannot cross the 10kb/s downloading from torrent in great times on my normal connection.
So the idea was to download whatever file i want from torrent to my own server at a very high speed (i am reaching 1mb/s sometimes) then re-download it from an http link as any other file.
I am on centos 5 and using ctorrent as a torrent client.
I know not everyone has knowledge in such thing but the people who do have servers can take this as a useful tip to get their files from torrent.
I hope this thread was useful
