Does anyone know anything about creating torrent websites? I would like to create the ‘Ultimate Star Wars Torrent Site.’ It would host the Best Torrents out there: Fan Edits, Laserdisk Converts, Fan Films and other such things. It would NOT host pirated versions of the movies or Movies now for sale officaly. I take it that the filesizes would not be that back as torrents just arn’t that big.

If you would like to help me create this site post or PM me.

It would be tough to beat the amount of Star Wars torrents at MYSPLEEN. However, not all of the Star Wars torrents are there, some are on other sites.

Maybe you could start by having a site with direct links to all the best torrents and build from that.

Now that's a good idea, trying to 'compete' with the all the other sites out there may be tough but setting up a website with links to the torrent files (you could host the .torrent files on the site itself) with full details about the contents of the torrent, not just the filename(s) within the torrent, including what tracker(s) the torrent uses, what site the torrent came from, wether you need to register on that site to use the torrent and most importantly when the torrent was put on your site or last checked to see wether it's still active or not.

I get the feeling if you can get into webserver scripting there must be programs out there that can tell you how many seeders/leechers there are with an particular torrent (provided you're allowed access, ie if it's a on a registration only tracker)

I would love to see this project make it, but I have no knowledge of torrent sites.

Awesome idea...

I would suggest that you keep it on the down-low and maybe even have some kind of strict membership policy...Michael Jackson has a better shot at opening a day care than your site does if LFL gets a whiff of it.

I support it wholeheartedly though - give 'er.

Downhillbattle has created an 'easy' to install/operate Torrent Tracker system called "blogtorrent".
This is a way to get a system started. But it lacks alot of the extra which a robust highly active torrent system needs.

In the thread to collect all documentaries, I had begun to set up a webpage to keep track of known items, weather they had been collected or not didn't matter.
I was going with the title: FlimsiPlast Database

This version just lists the items which exist. One of the next initiatives would be to make these pages dynamic so others could input data, for instance new titles or new locations to find the information, torrents for instance. (Click on "Casting Auditions" to see an individual entry, which would have the details)

Also on the info collecting scene is russs15's Galactic Trade Federation. They are approaching the documentation/collection from a what's been made into DVDr approach. They have screen caps and individual information on most of the fan made SW dvds.

As for now, it's probably best to just post the torrents you find in the Torrents Thread. I don't see many people posting non-spleen torrents but i'll start as i find things.

Another option for watching online, the fan captures of SW media, could be: DHB's "Participatory Culture". It's most likely similar to BlogTorrent, but i haven't mucked around with it yet. Although it would be frowned upon, for the use we're thinking of, but as long as it's under the radar...
