TorrentAid – Tools for Decentralised Torrents!
The popular BitTorrent download system is an excellent way to distribute large files that are in high demand quickly and efficiently. However its reliance on a “tracker server” makes it part of an older class of peer-to-peer systems which depend on central components, vulnerable to attack or overloading.
TorrentAid is a suite of easy, powerful, open-source BitTorrent tools. These tools not only work with traditional centralised torrents, but can also create a new generation of decentralised, cross-network swarmable trackerless torrents. With supporting download software these backward-compatible torrents can be used without having to contact a centralised tracker, and can also be “cross-network swarm downloaded” combining BitTorrent download sources with sources on other P2P networks such as Gnutella2 and eDonkey2000.
