The torrents time server is just to allow your local browser to stream the videos that are being downloaded in a way that makes the browser happy and avoids mixed content issues. Why does it matter if the keys are shipped?<p>They&#x27;re a workaround that don&#x27;t improve or reduce security from what I can tell.<p>Edit: The more egregious parts of the security issues is due to any website being able to access that local server, the server running as root on OSX, etc. THAT is major.
