There's already a mod_bittorrent, but it only produces .torrent files dynamically, it doesn't act as as a seed or participate in the p2p. There's mod_torrent too which has ceased development. A working bittorrent module for httpd is directly useful to me, and it's been on my personal TODO for a while now, so it's something I'd be happy to mentor. > The initial objective is to dynamically build a torrent file for a > user requested file.

Nah, that's boring and far too trivial imo. We need a bittorrent protocol implementation, the host needs to act as a seed too :) -- Colm MacCárthaigh Public Key: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
