[0] I've no idea how you'd do it with other command-line clients, nor with Ktorrent, but it's very easily done with Azureus. Of course, the only problem with using Azureus, or Ktorrent, would be the requirement to have a graphical desktop, along with X, to be running on a server where you'd want the all the resources used my the FTP and HTTP servers, not some other applications.
No need for so much overkill. With the standard client it is just installing the client and typing one command. See http://en.opensuse.org/BitTorrent_and_openSUSE#Running_BitTorrent_Seeder_on_...
As we see, almost no server admins are doing this. The best way would be to enhance the p2p clients so that they can "speak" ftp or http and fetch some pieces via ftp or http protocol. Cheers -e -- Eberhard Moenkeberg (emoenke@gwdg.de, em@kki.org)
