If more organizations worldwide begin taking advantages of bittorrent it will go a long way towards customers mounting a reasonable defense against the protocol being blocked or throttled by ISP fiat.

I could keep my ears busy for a lifetime if every episode of Quirks & Quarks was at my disposal.

And be glad you are not dealing with French CBC (Société Radio-Canada). I went to the site a few weeks ago and all their media is only accessible with Microsoft Silverlight for on-line listening. I really think there should be a law that all public broadcasters distribute content using open-standard platforms. Seems to me that any taxpayer-funded radio or television station should not be concerned with DRM or in any way restrict access to content. Satan @ #4:
