There is a really nice mobile BitTorrent Sync app, so I have
particularly been interested in this as a means to distribute apps to
Iran and China.

  I haven't looked into BitTorrent Sync, actually.  But that sounds like it could be an improvement on torrent distribution (or at least an additional approach).  I'm not sure to what extent user downloads are tracked via mobile phones in the target areas, but my assumption is 100%.  Having said that, I'd like to know more -- and it makes absolute sense for something like Orbot to be distributed friend-to-friend via BlueTooth or something like BitTorrent Sync.
