A "cool" project that appears to needs a coder is mod_bittorrent. The initial objective is to dynamically build a torrent file for a user requested file. This could be integrated into httpd by sending large files as torrents when the user agent states that it accepts application/x-bittorrent, and/or when the server notices that the number of downloads for the file has risen rapidly. This would complement the incomplete firepuddle project from last years SoC. http://mod-torrent.sourceforge.net/ -- John
