How can I make a release website?

[Hardware]

I want to make a release website like sharereactor

can anybody tell me if there is a basic script or template out I can use?

There are ready-made CMS' (Content Management Systems) out there, which allow you to 'easily' set up a site, publish to it, and skin it. However, they are hugely bloated and have hundreds of features that you'll never use. Which is exactly why when PeerWeb returns at New Year, it'll be running a purpose-built, stripped-down system, giving us only what we need and easily upgradable. Oh, and it's designed and developed by yours truly.

Some examples:
PHP-Nuke (http://www.phpnuke.org)
PostNuke (http://www.postnuke.com)
e107 (http://www.e107.org)

However, the above require web hosting and a basic grasp of FTP, CHMOD etc. To cut all that out but lose some freedom and get a few adverts:
DK3 (http://www.dk3.com)

ed2k links would be content wouldn't they? ed2k sites manage ed2k links don't they? so, you could create a ed2k link site with a CMS framework.

if you really want to make a release site then i hope you got 1.Good friends or 2. Phat wallets cause its gonna cost you. The bandwidth costs are gonna run u up the roof.

Unlikely - it'll probably die after a month. Anyway, you just have to make sure that the site's efficient.

if you have to ask it will probably be to difficult i dont think the great sharereactor was born in a day

you better just forget that idea.
the best sites have so much trouble and are down so many times cuz of incredible traffic and tons of other problems. unless you got a crew and loads of cash you won't succeed.

if you actually frequented those sites a lot you would know how difficult a job it really is. in fact go there and pm or email a mod or admin and ask questions.

If more people tried to start their own sites which maintained a rough mirror of the bigger sites, then maybe the big guys wouldn't have such a heavy load of traffic

Oh, I do! I spent a lot of time using a number of bloated systems. Then I decided to make my own :D

What about PeerWeb? We're good...I hope!

We're also back and better than ever!

Yeah. no doubtin nasrules. He KNOWS what he's doin definately. He does most of the coding on peerweb I believe. :)

Im doing a similar thing to sharereactor at filesuneed (http://www.filesuneed.com), i used phpnuke, and that seems to work well. But you gotta have a web server and server side access etc, can cost a bit more.

[Rickio]

nasrules & mes your sites look good, but it's also obvious you both have experience and knowledge to make your sites work.

I don't want to discourage anyone but anyone wanting to do what your doing needs to do homework. Hopefully you can steer people to the right info. Thanks for being so helpful and contributing to the p2p scene.

I think the major limitation is bandwidth.

Look what happened to sharereactor, they had server crashing due to overloading of servers

[rebirth]

Good luck toya...that's all I gotta say...

[gerbilgenocide]

i was trying to do that at first with my website www.gerbilgenocide.co.uk its got unlimited bandwidth thats no problem its just that overnet has so many bloody files in it! once you have the file you want you need to check the ed2k links work upload them on site. each one takes ages to do!

[gerbilgenocide]

on that point if anybody is willing to help me out by listing some of the downloads on my site pm me!

[crackerjacker]

hmm this is a interesting topic. you know that some hashes from those websites that store the hash value for the files are no longer in use.

however that site bitzi does keep the hash value for many types of files, just to make sure the file is legitimate.

so i was wondering if any of you people who do host these types of sites, keep the hashes around just in case that someone wants to know if the file is legitimate, or do you just delete the hash file after a while because the file is no longer available on certain sites?
