Torrents to HTTP.

[Chris12]

Hello all [H]ardOCP members,

This is my first post here, even though I've been reading the main website for between 6 months and 1 year.

Anyway on the main point of my post.

I live in South Africa. It does have DSL and wireless although the highest connection speed there is 1Mbit (please don't laugh + we pay R1000 ( $150)/month for 3GB cap and a 1Mbit connection).

All internet connections are shaped - meaning that certain protocols such as HTTP and FTP take preference over P2P and torrents. This results in P2P and torrents going at pathetically slow speeds (between 3Kb/5kb/sec) and which obviously frustrate many users.

Now I've got a solution ( I think) but I don't know how to implement this and think you guys can help.

I want to have a website that somehow makes torrent files go through an HTTP server (hence giving faster speeds) or making torrent files "sit" on a HTTP server when some requests that file.

I will charge people by how much they download (i.e. 5GB = R50 ($9) 10GB = R100 ($18) etc).

Thanks for all the help in advance.
Chris.
