Nodezilla Grid as a distributed storage for .torrent files
I would like to use the Grid Storage space provided by Nodezilla Nodes, to store in a distributed way .torrent files.
This would allow for easier retrieving of .torrent files, without the need for Web servers to hold them.
The goal is not to replace trackers, or compete with the DHT system currently in place, but to provide a living space to store .torrent files.
I'm planning to build a very simple Azureus plugin. This plugin would be able to automatically:
- Share files downloaded through Azureus (classical file sharing)
- Store (and not only share) the .torrent files that are currently seeded by Azureus, in the Nodezilla Grid.
This way, we can hope to have live database of active torrents available in a persistent way. The cleaning of unactive torrent would be handled by Nodezilla's Grid cleaning process.
NB: No anonymity, beside torrents queries, will be enforced, as all of the tracking and download work is done through the unmodified BitTorrent protocol and clients.
I welcome any comments, on this wiki page.
