Comment:
We've built collective.seeder, a product that whenever a new file (video)
is uploaded, it symlinks it's blob file to the original file name, and
creates a torrent for it.
You can specify as many torrent trackers (announce urls) as you want. This
way, we can set up our own tracker, plus add openbittorent (piratebay) and
other open trackers. I've updated testing.plumi.org which is now working
with the openbittorent tracker. (A note to transmission bittorrent client
users: transmission does not yet support trackers with udp urls so they
can not connect to openbittorrent and a couple of other trackers. If
they're lucky they might get it through DHT).
This enables our torrents to stay alive if one or two trackers go down.
I've also tested a local tracker (xbtt) these days that we can set up for
em.org, although there are things to be discussed (better via skype)
before proceeding with it.
I've also set up a torrent client daemon (deluged) on testing.plumi.org
that automatically starts seeding new torrents.
