I would be much happier creating a torrent server at the data center
level that customers could seed/upload from rather than doing it over
the last mile. I don't see this working from a legal standpoint though.
Why not? There's plenty of perfectly legal P2P content out there.
Hum... maybe there is an idea here.
I believe the bittorrent protocol rewards uploading users with faster
downloading. Moving the upload content to a more appropriate point on
the network (a central torrent server) breaks this model. How would a
client get faster download speeds based on the uploads they made to a
central server? To solve the inevitable legal issues there would also
need to be a way to track how content ended up on the server as well.
Are there any torrent clients that do this?
