Hi, I would like to request a feature which allows me to add more than one torrent to the node.
This will act as a part 1 of "torrent A", part 2 of torrent B...etc
SO that low bandwidth users dont have to put the entire file all at once and the uploader takes care of this need by uploading in parts.

But how sill the torrents be listed?
Views generated pages.. how do theyhandle....
can we have as easy as cck fields, which can be manupilated easily.

Regards

Are you saying the that user uploads torrent files or files to be turned into torrents?

I'd like this feature as well, although I myself wouldn't use "upload the files and turn them into torrents" option -- I'd just like to see the ability to attach more than one pre-existing torrent file to a single node. That way you can have related files listed on the same node (for example: Debian GNU/Linux ISO images 1-24 all listed on the same page, but each with a separate torrent).

Hmm, this would take a bit of reworking on this side. I can see this being in the module, but not in the first iteration of the port. This would be a change that can wait a little bit.

My bad english.
I didnt want to say "to upload files and then turn them into torrents and let the server seed"

But its a nice idea. And one thing that arises is that we are asking too much from this module and this thought is gonna bring a hell lot of trouble and more coding to the existing one as its totally new thought andhas to be developed as a whole new modules.

The BitTorrent module is actually a collection of modules. But this request specifically would need to go in bt_torrent.module as that controls the validation (and subsequently whether or not multiple uploads will be allowed through). Also the insert and update methods will need to be updated to handle multiple torrents as well. I don't see this being too much of a hassle, but I have so much on my plate trying to get a stable base platform out that I cannot work on this yet. If you would like to try and develop this (or get someone else to) I would not mind testing a few patches.

Now support multiple torrent-file upload per Torrent field.
And you can add any number of Torrent fields to any content type.
