Fun services to create with BitTorrent and RSS

What could be a good term to use for a combination of Broadcatching and Appcasting?

Broadappcatching?

I guess it would be a good term to describe the syndication of software packages, software release notes and patches over the Internet-dependent BitTorrent file-sharing protocol using RSS.

Of course, this would seem like overkill from the face of it, but with the currently-developing proposal-stage DebTorrent protocol that combines Debian/Ubuntu’s apt-get with BitTorrent for a decentralized software distribution method, why not combine it with RSS’s <enclosure> tag to deliver the goods automatically and visibly, especially if the software (usually the alphas and betas) is being updated and downloaded on a frequent basis?
