Blog of the Bittorrent Applet

Upload!

You can find online the new upload section!
Basically it is a web page that lets you generate and directly upload the torrent metafile.

Currently the upload puts the generated metafile on mininova, but you can link the web page with different parameters in order to post the metafile to other servers: soon there will be an option to use the upload with fenopy, for instance.

How to use it

The user should go to
http://www.bitlet.org/upload?postUrl=encodedPostUrl&doneUrl=encodedDoneUrl
to generate the .torrent metafile, that will be directly posted to the postUrl address and then the user will be asked to go to doneUrl.

After the user clicks the create button and chooses the file or directory, the applet generates the metafile and posts it (to postUrl) directly from the browser.
The post is a simple http post with Content-Type: multipart/form-data and it contains a single parameter named torrent with the torrent metafile in binary form, I guess if you're using php you can just access $_FILES['torrent']. The applet expects a text/plain response with the hash of the info dictionary of the posted metafile in ASCII (e.g:
d901895bc378d0b6ffcb87a4f9503bf51664d475.)

Then the user will be asked to go to doneUrl with the hash parameter (doneUrl?hash=d901895bc378d0b6ffcb87a4f9503bf51664d475) where the user should complete the file submission.

Should you provide a download with BitLet after the torrent submission, the applet will try to guess the correct path to start seeding the file.

Please ask the user to start seeding the files, after the submission is completed.

Usually I'm quite cryptic when I write, so don't hesitate to contact me if there's something I didn't explain well.

Hi, I have had a look into this torrent client, and I like what I see. It uses the minimum of the server. But here is my question, is there a possibility for that you are gonna build a tracker into this? and is there a possibilty to creat it into eyeOS aka webOS? I am thinkin of creating a commmuity with a torrent tracker inside, and eyeOs does everything for me, unsept the tracker part. So I am looking for third-party help in building a tracker into eyeOS.

If whanted, send me a mail at arnfinn79@gmail.com

Hi, I would like to know, if I just wanted to send a huge file over to a friend, could I upload it using Bitlet Upload, turn off my computer after 100% seeding and have my friend download the torrent using Bitlet too?

Thanks for the answer.
