Torrents & Trackers

Hey guys,

 

I was wondering, in this lazy way of mine.. Isnt there a way a private citizen can make a torrent for his friends to share files off his computer with, but sos then entire internets cant use it, but they can ? Isnt that what a private tracker is ? Or am i just putting the words private & tracker together and assuming they mean what i want them to ?

 

There's these files that i'd like to host for y'all occasionally, like demos, trailers, and sometimes bigger stuff, but even though we have alot of space and bandwidth on the godaddy host package here, if a couple people download a 1.4 gig demo we're sunk for the month.

 

Im just curious to know if anyone around here knows much about this stuffs. I know making a torrent aint no thang, but im just not clear on if thats all you'd have to do. Maybe you guys could help me test it, see if we can make something work and what kinda speeds we'd get.

 

Thanks in advance !

 

 

ps- first one to say ' google ' it gets a prize ! and no, its not one you're gonna like.. ; )

Btw, Since I won.. I graciously pass on the prize to the person who posts under me.

Private tracker just means the tracker restricts access to the torrent to registered users. Demonoid is probably a good example. You can't just make a torrent, give it to someone and that's it. You need a tracker.
