New description:
Automatic creation and seeding of videos via bittorrent.
Create a plumi.torrent component, added to the Plumi buildout. Include
option to install this inside the Plone control panel.
Firstly attempt to create our own tracker, as well as the option to use
the http://openbittorrent.com/ tracker as part of this component. If major
difficulties encountered in this then possibly think about only offering
the http://openbittorrent.com/ option for the first iteration of this
feature. Either way, it will include a torrent client to seed the
torrents.
Issues with running own tracker: compiling another bit of software within
the buildout (not a major issue), hosting providers may not allow torrent
traffic (but this would be a problem with running a client anyway),
complexity of setting this up as part of this feature (hard to tell at
this stage).
Issues with http://openbittorrent.com/ - reliance on another service (if
this service goes down then torrent sharing goes down), possibly issues
with retrieving statistics (number of seeders etc.)
In terms of our provider allowing torrent traffic, Mike will email to
explain our usage, it seems likely at this stage they will allow it in our
case. If not we will look at running a client elsewhere, and using the
http://openbittorrent.com/ solution.
