Torrent Management system updated

I tested the adder system for my torrent management interface last night and it worked properly. Once I implement the database tie-ins to the various sites that don't have them yet, hosted site owners will be able to add torrents to their pages without needing to contact me.

Planning for a torrent editing Apache module

I've been kicking around the idea of rewriting my php torrent editors, which are currently used on the EAD primary server for download-time torrent editing, as a C++ Apache module. The hard part is probably going to be figuring out the proper Apache API tie-ins and possibly getting the module compiled.

The module's editing will be basic at first and will only be used with sites that need the basic editing (announce and announce-list editing). Once I figure out MySQL for C++ and HTTP downloading, I will work on having it support the more advanced features of my current torrent editor scripts such as the http source database tie-ins.

I'm honestly not sure how performance of the system will change if I use an Apache module instead of PHP.

Developing a PHP/MySQL Torrent Management Interface

Over the past few weeks, I have been working on developing a management interface for my hosted sites. So far I've gotten it all active (including having encrypted passwords for the users), but I haven't gotten any tests for adding torrents to the database yet.

Once I get people to test the interface for adding torrents, I will work on an interface for torrent grouping and reorganizing torrents and groups of torrents.

Shortly after that I will start expanding the hosting offerings of the primary tracker cluster.
