McC Posted December 5, 2004 Posted December 5, 2004 I've been trying to figure out how to actually run a python script. I downloaded the python source for BitTorrent, since I want to use it to distribute some films friends and I made a few years ago rather than have my server's bandwidth totally chewed up. However, I haven't the first clue how to actually run a python script remotely in order to get the server set-up to act as a tracker. Any help? Relevant sites: BitTorrent File Server's Guide BitTorrent Download Page SourceForge BitTorrent Source Download Any help would be muchly appreciated. Quote
MikeJ Posted December 7, 2004 Posted December 7, 2004 You'd be better off with a PHP bittorrent tracker. Much easier to setup and are designed more for environments like shared servers. You can find a list of some here: http://www.filesoup.com/forum/index.php?showtopic=6780 The obvious disclaimers apply. Too much activity and we'll have to ask you to shut it down (shouldn't be a problem if it's just films for your friends), and make sure the content being advertised by the tracker is legal (again... shouldn't be a problem if it's your own stuff).

McC Posted December 7, 2004 Author Posted December 7, 2004 Yeah, that's what I went with. Thanks! And yes, all the content is legal (our own fan creations). Not looking to get sued or anything here Quote
