Nero666 Posted December 8, 2006 Share Posted December 8, 2006 Currently, http and ftp are just downloader functions, which Internet Explorer etc also can handle. And Torrents sometimes end up without seeders. My suggestion is to merge these two functions to some extent, making it possible to call for a http//ftp stored file to continue downloading your torrent, and becoming a seeder. Is this possible and/or a good idea? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dawin45 Posted December 15, 2006 Share Posted December 15, 2006 I think you're idea means changing the hole torrent principle, it just can't be applyed in real life if a gig public server like torrent spy for instance would keep a copy of every file they keep in caase of not seeding the download speed would be counted in bytes cas a big server just can't handle such a huge broadband remeber because of torrennts the servers load is load,bradband speed isn't frequently trying the pacience of other lechers/peers(low speed) it guarantees a higher speed. basically you can't just rewrite the torrent system... its good as it is...

kluelos Posted December 15, 2006 Share Posted December 15, 2006 No tracker actually has copies of the downloads whose torrents it tracks. If it did, and this were implemented, the bandwidth bill for the tracker would soar and the tracker would definitely become involved in illegal file transfers. So this isn't ever going to happen.
