proxy-torrent
proxy-torrent is a project to provide access to the content of a private tracker without having to give direct access.
how
I'm building a nodejs backend that will process an api request and start a torrent. Once complete, the contents of the torrent will be zipped up and available as a download link. From there I'll build a simple web frontend for end-users.
why
Ostensibly to gain familiarity with nodejs and API implementation, but really so that everyone stops asking for my login and password to torrent sites.
