DropTorrent 1.0



Perhaps us geeks forget to include those that could care less about losing sleep over some crazy programming idea that gets stuck in our heads...

But, ultimately, it really is about inclusion.

Hopefully, a simple program like this will help people get into the world of BitTorrent more, or maybe help other programmers join in trying to be inclusive.

DropTorrent provides a simple way to handle the first step in using the BitTorrent protocol, by easily creating the .torrent metadata file required by this software.

Just drag it over the icon!

Configure it once, with your favorite BitTorrent tracker, and a comment, and drag & drop your way to sharing your own content.

It may not be thrilling at first, but as people come to rely on your media, this technology can save you bandwidth in the longrun. Honestly, it has yet to have a true test of it's limits. Even the pirates haven't had much of what could be considered a true problem with speed or popularity.

It's that potential, that our own personal media is becoming more important, that drives me to try and offer something like this, even if it sucks. And, to nerds, it probably does... or at least, they would think this gets in the way.

Good luck, thank you for downloading, and I hope that using BitTorrent works for you.

-> DropTorrent 1.0 for Windows @ Sourceforge.net

So who want to port this to the Mac? ;)
