Why not codeplex the server? http://ayende.com/3256/hibernating-torrent-a-simple-torrent-server-for-windows#comment11http://ayende.com/3256/hibernating-torrent-a-simple-torrent-server-for-windows#comment11Tue, 08 Apr 2008 19:41:16 GMTJohn, This one is a seeding server, so I don't need to deal with that. I have a server that will always seed the files I want, so the torrent never stops being seeded http://ayende.com/3256/hibernating-torrent-a-simple-torrent-server-for-windows#comment10http://ayende.com/3256/hibernating-torrent-a-simple-torrent-server-for-windows#comment10Tue, 08 Apr 2008 15:18:55 GMTwhile it is cool and all, I'm not sure I see the point of making your own tracking server when there are plenty of free ones available that can give you metrics. http://www.thepiratebay.org/register http://www.legaltorrents.com/signup http://www.mininova.org/distribution there are tons more, that's just the ones that are somewhat known. http://ayende.com/3256/hibernating-torrent-a-simple-torrent-server-for-windows#comment9http://ayende.com/3256/hibernating-torrent-a-simple-torrent-server-for-windows#comment9Tue, 08 Apr 2008 14:50:49 GMTI for one am glad to see you moving into some new areas. Most of the programming we do is of the real-time nature - in fact, most of our code that goes from browser->IIS->database is baked. With more of my time being spent on real-time systems that go from the desktop through various systems internally and even to some external systems, communications are my primary focus and it is good to see some additional minds focused on the subject. Your recent activity with NServiceBus (and others) is a good thing to see! Now if we could just write a nice torrent tracker for Windows... http://ayende.com/3256/hibernating-torrent-a-simple-torrent-server-for-windows#comment8http://ayende.com/3256/hibernating-torrent-a-simple-torrent-server-for-windows#comment8Tue, 08 Apr 2008 12:23:28 GMT@Ayende Sorry i didn't think about SvnBridge, thought you talked about SVN hosting in IIS or something... http://ayende.com/3256/hibernating-torrent-a-simple-torrent-server-for-windows#comment7http://ayende.com/3256/hibernating-torrent-a-simple-torrent-server-for-windows#comment7Tue, 08 Apr 2008 11:02:08 GMTMy metric is how much code I need to make it happen, without making it ready for production http://ayende.com/3256/hibernating-torrent-a-simple-torrent-server-for-windows#comment6http://ayende.com/3256/hibernating-torrent-a-simple-torrent-server-for-windows#comment6Tue, 08 Apr 2008 04:53:56 GMTHey Ayende, It certainly is very elegant/spare code. It was great to look at it. For what its worth I did have a look at the code and count the lines (very roughly) in TorrentServer.cs - that was a little less than 40 lines of what I would call 'meaningful' code but then I figured you have to count in HibernatingTorrent.cs as well, and that brings it up in the 40+ lines of code.. still how does one define 'meaningful' lines of code! ;-) (If you could define it and get a computer to work that out, it would maybe be an actually useful LOC metric) http://ayende.com/3256/hibernating-torrent-a-simple-torrent-server-for-windows#comment5http://ayende.com/3256/hibernating-torrent-a-simple-torrent-server-for-windows#comment5Tue, 08 Apr 2008 04:50:12 GMTMiles, It is about 25 lines of code or so. Sorry. http://ayende.com/3256/hibernating-torrent-a-simple-torrent-server-for-windows#comment4http://ayende.com/3256/hibernating-torrent-a-simple-torrent-server-for-windows#comment4Tue, 08 Apr 2008 04:41:24 GMTOh sure - yeah, why not, yeah. Write your own torrent server. Do it in about 40 lines of code maybe. Nice. (Argh wishes things worked out this easy when I did them). http://ayende.com/3256/hibernating-torrent-a-simple-torrent-server-for-windows#comment3http://ayende.com/3256/hibernating-torrent-a-simple-torrent-server-for-windows#comment3Tue, 08 Apr 2008 04:37:24 GMTWhat do you think SvnBridge is? http://ayende.com/3256/hibernating-torrent-a-simple-torrent-server-for-windows#comment2http://ayende.com/3256/hibernating-torrent-a-simple-torrent-server-for-windows#comment2Tue, 08 Apr 2008 03:48:29 GMTNice, that could be useful.
