I found a tool called maketorrent that is adequate for making a.torrent fie that I can post on a web page so clicking on it can download 290 files easily without problems. The tool can make a torrent for each file or for the whole lot, like I chose.
Now limewire users wanting the files, can load them into the download queue and wait for the 7GB of files I wanted to share.
The files are tablebases for computer chess, the torrent is for all end-game positions with 5 pieces on the board. I have an MD5 for 6 pieces, which is a few thousand files, but I dont have enough disk space for the 1.2 TB to create the torrent file from at present.
P2P with torrents makes sense considering the volume of files for this add-on to a chess game. It takes a powerful computer to make them, P2P makes distrinution to interested players a no-brainer. |
