VDQ : bittorrent & servers

[Beartooth]

	I think I see, through a glass darkly, that when you're 
downloading from bittorrent, you're also running a server. Some of us 
little guys have firewalls, such as they are, which *start* with not 
running any servers (afaik) -- on the grounds that running one exposes 
you to risks which require more expertise than we've got. Is there a 
real problem here, or am I just confused?

	Btw, I have noticed that 2.3 starts apache on boot; does that 
make any sense for those of us who have no web page and don't plan to 
get one?
