Perhaps instead of multiple sites, now is the time to move to an easy torrent set-up for doing this kind of klik installer. have a script (or a set of scripts) that builds the klik, the torrent, and an rss. Likewise, it should also handle the update issue. Perhaps, when you load the klik on your system, an rss url is included that can be loaded into a local update app to track the what and where. That way, if an update does occur your system finds out about it.

Do you _really_ want to run software from random torrent peers?

This shouldn't matter, as long as the source of the .torrent file is trustworthy. In theory at least. But IIRC bittorrent uses md4 (not md5 or sha1) checksums, so maybe it's really not as tamper-proof as it could be.
