Hi guys i need a small info.... I think you all know about torrents,right? So i have a friend who own a torrent site....But the .torrent files uploaded to the site are stored in the server which consumes a lot of server space....But i see that many of the other torrent sites use torrage.ws or torrage.com to store the torrent files uploaded to that site....So i want to know the way to do it... i am asking this because the server where the torrent files are saved does not allow movie uploads.....So i have read about API's but have no knowledge about them....so I prefer torrage.ws for that work...My friend said that PERL is allowed to his server...So can you please help me with this matter??(with images or videos)..If any other info is needed Please contact me...And also i need a person who develop that site with a chat box and other features.... Thanks

That's a confusing bunch of questions. As I understand it you're asking: how can I avoid storing lots of actual torrents. That would be by creating a site that's purely links to other torrent sites (much like, say, torrentz.com). You don't have to store the files and you're basically just outputting database results to a dynamic web page. What you'd need is someone who can create you a script to scrape the content off various torrent sites as it appears (say, every hour) and put it all together into a database for you (title, category, link to other site's page). It's called aggregating. Then you'd need a search page that queries the database and returns results that match the query. It's all fairly basic stuff for a decent programmer, though the scraping part may have to be bespoke, since each site probably uses its own categories and display, etc. Hope it helps.

Thanks for the reply but I will try to explain more clearly.... The torrent site we have is digtorrent.com....The .torrent files that are uplaoded to the site are automatically uploaded/stored in the site's server....... But sites like ET or kat.ph uses torrage.ws to store the .torrent files uploaded to it..... So what i need is "when a user of our site upload a .torrent file to our site it must be directly uploaded to torrage.ws instead of storing in our server"...So i need a help in doing it.... Thanks

Sounds like you just need to point your upload facility at another location. Or a script that does the upload to torrage behind the scenes, then deletes it off your server.

Torrents are mostly illegal content. That is why torrents are stored on another server. So you either need to make an agreement with one of the torrent hosts or get your own off-shore server (where the authorities cannot easily catch you!).
