Dear Prof D

No server side architecture is needed for bit torrents. It runs on peer to
peer. You just host one file (torrent file) and your torrent searches for
peers (other people having that torrent file/data).

To kickstart- you need to host some files on one server, as the mother
seed. That also will need just a modification in the search engine list
within your local computer 's bit torrent engine(as in add- cran.at in list
of sources instead of other sources)

You may want to ask Ubuntu /Debian how /why they do it? I may be completely
wrong here on the technical code- but I think it does help people from
developing world with erratic bandwidth, which is where I come from.

Sincerely,

Ajay Ohri
