ArmA Community Torrent Tracker
« on: 21 Jan 2008, 01:34:39 »
Here's a suggestion... Dunno if it's a flyer or not...

How about OFPEC providing a private torrent tracker.

1. The torrents submitted would have to ArmA/OFP related only.
2. The tracker would probably need to only allow OFPEC registered member login.

Any and all 'resource' related content would then be in a 'distributed' state.
The entire world wouldn't be able to access the torrents as the tracker would only allow login based on ofpec membership details.
As it's a 'tracker' the data storage requirements would be small'ish as it's not a repository for the actual data but just the torrent file.
An RSS feed could be constructed detailling the latest OFPEC torrent uploads. One would then grab the torrent and it would error, then the user would alter the torrent properties for the tracker from say something like...

Code: [Select]
http://tracker.ofpec.com:3411/announce
to...

Code: [Select]
http://<ofpecusername>:<ofpecpassword>@tracker.ofpec.com:3411/announce
dunno... just a thought...
