Hello Folks,
Thanks for the page. I need a way to torrent the file(s) upwards.
We have 4gb backups and I can’t get them to ftp with out fails. (Australia) to our AWS FTP server.
If I could up load using the torrent engine then it would use the torrent process to ensure a valid copy.
Thanks in advance

I haven’t used it recently, but have not heard of any features being removed.

Hi, Carlton,

I just found this post today (11/21/2011), this is a very good idea. Just wondering as up to now (today), does Amazon S3 Web Services still allow individual user to seed their torrent file(s)?

Thank you very much

No, files only. Would have to zip folder contents together and upload.

Thanks for this tutorial. I really need to know – is there a way of having your amazon s3 server seed a torrent for mininova/pirate bay? I don’t know how to add trackers to a torrent downloaded from the amazon s3 server. When I try to upload the .torrent file from my amazon s3 server to mininova or piratebay it doesn’t work. Is there a way to do it somehow?

thx!

I know of no way to seed a non-Amazon tracker – the two are tied together within S3.

Is it possible to take a file and have Amazon S3 seed for a torrent associated with different tracker. For example I want to seed an ISO for a linux distrobution but they have a tracker up allready how do i add the Amazon s3 location as a seeder
