my idea is this:
a torrent browser that browses/searches a page like http://www.bi-torrent.com/ for multimedia content,
but when a torrent is chosen, instead of downloading it to the xbox, it sends the url of the torrent file to a computer on your lan that in turn downloads the file locally.
you could then connect to this server through a samba share to watch the videos that are downloaded.
an additional feature to implement could be a status monitor that allows you to
view the progress of your torrents from the xbox.
