New Auto-Seeding Torrent Server Released

ludwigvan968 writes "The University of Texas New Media Initiative in association with Google's Summer of Code program have been working on a project to make sharing files over the internet easier than ever before. Summer of Code intern Evan Wilson just released Project Snakebite, the first fully automatic BitTorrent server. Just as with a normal webserver, you drop files in a folder to share them. Snakebite takes care of generating torrent files and running a tracker and a seeder for each file. Additionally, it builds a user-customizable link page with all of your files. It will even register your Snakebite server with an easy to remember URL for people that can't remember their IP. Snakebite is free and open software and is currently released for Debian. It's fully portable to both Windows and OS X and the developers just need some help packaging it."

Illegally obtaining files that are copyrighted is a crime NOT just in the USA. It's a crime everywhere.
Everyone knows that. Do you?

So any suggestion that goes against Google is a troll now? Sounds like you're more than just a Mac fanboy, fanboy!

Let me spell it out for you. A post suggesting any large company with bo history of encouraging piracy sponsored a project to indirectly make money from piracy is a troll.
Congratulations on your spelling skills, but you're still not making sense. Are you telling me a large company is void of any suggestions just because it would be a first time offence?

Down boy.
