Web seeding
Da Torrent Wiki.
Il Web Seeding è una funzione supportata da pochi client BitTorrent, tra questi troviamo Azureus e Deluge.
Il Web Seeding è una forma di HTTP Seeding, l'HTTP Seeding è una funzione del protocollo BitTorrent che permette a server HTTP di funzionare come Peer.
Questa è la parte della documentazione in Inglese del protocollo BitTorrent sul Web Seeding:
WebSeeding:
The possibility to seed a torrent via a web server is generally called WebSeeding. It allows the HTTP server to work as a peer in the BitTorrent network. There are at least two specification for how to combine a torrent download with a HTTP download. The first standard, implemented by BitTornado is quite easy to implement in the client, but is intrusive on the HTTP in that it requires a script handling requests on the server side. i.e. A plain HTTP server that just serves plain files isn't enough. The benfits is that the script can be more abuse resistant. This specification is found here: http://bittornado.com/docs/webseed-spec.txt
The second specification requires slightly more from the client, but downloads from plain HTTP servers. It is specified here: http://www.getright.com/seedtorrent.html. It has been implemented by GetRight, libtorrent and Mainline.
Il Web Seeding è poco usato ed è raro trovare server per l'HTTP Seeding.
