Replication over RSS #132

Open ash1do-ru opened 9 years ago

ash1do-ru commented 9 years ago

Why no add new torrent feature? Replication over RSS is relatively simple, i could code it with php or python in a weekend or two. TPB clones could all have the add torrent function and replicate to each other by creating it's own and reading other's rss feeds. This way a torrent added to any of clones will appear on all other clones.

But there's no RSS feed or add new torrent feature here. Why?

And if i'd code the replicator to work with isohunt's own rss would you accept the code?

It would be cooler to have a torrent swarm propaging any new torrent add to any of the participant of the swarm. Although this would be more difficult to code (maybe use python-libtorrent) it would be much more resilient than replication over RSS. http://twister.net.co already use a feature like this to distribute user messages to its follower

nitmir but new torrent will be propaged to all participants over rss if they add each other's rss feed into replication config. here i would like to know if the maintainers would accept such a modification or do they have another plan?
