You rent the web server, you pay the bills and a simple whois can reveal your real name, address and phone number in a matter of seconds. If you happen to download "questionable" torrents they can be traced easily back to you. If you run a BitTorent client from a server you are platform independent which means that you can access the client from every computer with Internet access - even from work or school to add new torrents to the queue, check the current downloads or administrate the client.Īfter outlining the main advantages of running web-based torrent client I would like to point out that there are also some disadvantages. This is also an excellent opportunity for authors of Open-Source and Freeware applications to cut their bandwidth costs by sharing the bandwidth with the users who are downloading the software. Running a BitTorrent client from a web server is a good way for sites like Jamendo to seed the torrents that they offer on their sites.
