Transfer data without trackers

Post by Serko »

I need to tranfer data about 70 gigs from one server to many others as soon as possible. Is there any chanse to do this with transmission-cli? And i have only transmission-cli and transmission-daemon commands on all servers. Can i do this without trackers? May be with DHT?

Sorry, but i am newbie in p2p technology. For examle, i have a server named SEED with data which should be uploaded. And 100 servers named PEER{1-100}. I have a root account on all these servers.
On SEED:
1) transmission-create -o data.torrent /datafolder
2) transmission-cli -et -w /datafolder data.torrent (??) Is second step correct? SEED server will start seeding after that command? With DHT (dht-enabled: true)?

On PEER{1-100} servers:
1) rsync data.torrent from SEED server???
2) How can I start downloading it? How can PEER servers find SEED server?

Use the daemon on all. Use a remote GUI like http://sourceforge.net/projects/transgui/ you can set that up to choose which of the 101 servers you have and choose the one you want at will. Alternately use the web client or a derivative like https://github.com/killemov/Shift shift will show you automatically the magnet links.
Install yourself a tracker https://github.com/feross/bittorrent-tracker on your main server or https://webtorrent.io/
Search the forums for all the things you need to learn. There's a whole lot of very helpful posts.
Good luck and have fun :)
