Am I mistaken?
"Though distribution is shared, the technology still relies on central tracking servers to direct a downloader's software to different pieces of a file, which could be hosted on several users' PCs."

I thought the trackers role was just to get you connected to other peers and once down, it would only keep track of your progress. I don't think the tracker has anything to do with the actual download progress.
