Hmm, in that case I really think it would be worthwhile contacting our overlords about this, it could be doable. Actually, there's a few things I was thinking we could raise with them in regards to this, but it's probably better off discussed in modland.

Arbitrary, altough last time I had access to the traffic stats the file server was already exceeding 3 TB of monthly traffic.

well, our computers would still be quite busy, but we wouldn't have to do all the checking work.

EDIT: Idea 3, amazon cloud servers are pretty cheap nowadays.

that would leave us only with the work of reuploading the stuff.

For Games on Site the Limit is about 150 MB.

Not really doable with our current access to AB, but we can have a tracker operating in 15 minutes from gaining access to a server with a mySQL database and PHP support.
In the most basic form, it's literally just the announce script, two database tables, plus a cleanup script running every now and then to remove "dead" peers (ie ones which have not connected to the tracker's announce URL for a certain period after their last expected communication).
Not pretty or convenient to manage, just serviceable.

Torrents would work best if AB's servers were used to seed too, even if any other seeds would help. But we're implying no file size limits, is it possible?
