Change Details

**Project Name:** torrents **Developer account usernames of requestors:** @TheresNoTime **Purpose:** A continuation of the idea started by @Legoktm (https://dump-torrents.toolforge.org) — automatically create web-seeded torrent files from completed data dumps. **Brief description:** Using [[ https://github.com/pobrn/mktorrent | mktorrent ]] (GPLv2), create a torrent file from newly dumped database dumps. This will require the `/public/dumps` NFS mount. The generated torrents will use web seeds to ensure they don't suffer too badly from lack of seeders. In an ideal world, we'd also host a restricted torrent tracker (perhaps [[ https://github.com/webtorrent/bittorrent-tracker | this ]], MIT) instead of relying on other trackers (such as [[ https://fosstorrents.com/tracker/ | fosstorrents ]]), but that's probably a question for another time. See also {T354174} and {T29653} **How soon you are hoping this can be fulfilled:** This month (though, no rush)
