ShAQ Posted December 25, 2006 Report Share Posted December 25, 2006 Long time - no answer. uTorrent and Webseed ... when will it implemented? And which protocol will it support?See also here:http://www.getright.com/seedtorrent.htmlhttp://www.bittornado.com/docs/webseed-spec.txtThe second one is working fine with Azureus (tested) and a webserver with the php example script.Clients currently supporting at least one of the webseed specs:ABC, Anatomic P2P, Azureus, BitTornado, mooPolice, Qbittorrent, Torrent Swapper, TorrentFluxSource:http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Comparison_of_BitTorrent_clientsMore Info about webseeding:http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/BitTorrent#Web_seeding Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bd0g Posted March 30, 2007 Report Share Posted March 30, 2007 I'd also like to see an answer to this question.Im using BitTornados experimental version of webseed and its doing fine. But many of the users on the tracker misses out on the oppurtunity to have a backup spot to use. I'm seeing lots of µTorrent clients and I would also like to see them benefit from the extra hand a webseed can give you. Especially if the primary seed server goes down and you cant do nothing about until about 12h later wich is a long time for some Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Firon Posted March 30, 2007 Report Share Posted March 30, 2007 1.7 supports the Getright webseeding spec, but only for single file torrents (multi will come eventually). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bd0g Posted March 30, 2007 Report Share Posted March 30, 2007 Sounds like it's heading towards the right direction. But theres one thing GetRights webseed could break pretty fast.. It's not able to be throttled since its just client sided. With BitTornados solution I atleast had the chance to adapt to the server and strain. So is there any plans to support BitTornados spec too?

Firon Posted March 30, 2007 Report Share Posted March 30, 2007 I don't believe the BitTornado spec will be supported. And well, you could restrict things based on user-agent, although clients with a proper implementation shouldn't break your server. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bd0g Posted March 31, 2007 Report Share Posted March 31, 2007 I sure hope it will work out cause the balancing act is something that me and many others need. Abuse of the webseed is not something that I hope for really...Might lead to a quick termination of the web account :/http-seeding is in my case just a last resort if all other seed sources fail. Not something that should be there, constantly uploading to each and everyone that asks for its attention. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Firon Posted April 1, 2007 Report Share Posted April 1, 2007 It's not supposed to be used except when the pieces aren't available, or something. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
santanderfilm Posted April 11, 2007 Report Share Posted April 11, 2007 this is even better than pure webseeding: http://wiki.depthstrike.com/index.php/P2P:Protocol:Specifications:HTTPSourcingsnippet:This is a proposed extension to the .torrent metafile for torrents to add permanent seeds to a file that run on protocols other than BitTorrent. * http:// * ftp:// * ed2k:// * magnet:?

slipstream Posted September 15, 2007 Report Share Posted September 15, 2007 pps. Interesting that web-seeding implementation used in the OpenOffice torrents is not compatible with uTorrent - they provide urls via the sources key (mentioned by DreadWingKnight), while uTorrent seems to support only the url-list convention (GetRight-style).

Nirvana Posted September 15, 2007 Author Report Share Posted September 15, 2007 Thank you Firon for allowing the feature to be in uTorrent! You rock! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Varreon Posted September 21, 2007 Report Share Posted September 21, 2007 Think about the effect of http seeding. You would never have filter out dead torrents. Im willing to help work on this, but I don't know if this is a community project or not. All I know is that this would greatly help the status of uTorrent.

Ultima Posted September 21, 2007 Report Share Posted September 21, 2007 µTorrent 1.7.x already has partial support for web-seeds (only works with single file torrents). µTorrent 1.8 will have full support for web-seeded torrents using the GetRight specs.

hermanm Posted October 2, 2007 Report Share Posted October 2, 2007 Would multi-file torrents be easier to support if the piece size matched the file sizes inside the torrent? For example, let's say I make a torrent (2MB piece size) of a 700MB video. The video file is RARed into 350 pieces of 2MB each. Would this, in effect, make each hash represent one file only?

irongrip Posted June 17, 2008 Report Share Posted June 17, 2008 I have a problem, i want to try this new technology but I can't dl the serverside:ForbiddenYou don't have permission to access /bt/download/webseed-0.9a.zip on this server. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DreadWingKnight Posted June 17, 2008 Report Share Posted June 17, 2008 report that to the bittornado forums, not these ones Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jewelisheaven Posted June 17, 2008 Report Share Posted June 17, 2008 ... You need to run an HTTP daemon, and set it up so it understands x-bittorrent MIMEtype. Or maybe that last part is or trackers. Honestly I'd be amazed if a 3 year old link worked.Edit: Since when did bittornado operate scarywater? It may be found @ http://bittornado.com nontheless... search some.

Firon Posted December 3, 2009 Report Share Posted December 3, 2009 Yes. If you took 30 seconds to research it, you'd know that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
