This essentialy is a "torrent" of "torrent's".
It is updated monthly with the new months torrent added, mag links listed, and the torrent name is changed to add MM YYYY Update
IRC = Internet Relay Chat, The (current) monthly list is Hosted by the russian website booktracker.org,
(seriously, it's a Russian website, and everything is posted in russian!)
however the IRC BooKs list is their huge compendium of ENGLISH language books that have been published since 2003
and have been archived -- (over 650,000 books in 458 GB of Disk Space)...
they have been coming out with english publications "IRC Bookz" lists since 2003) (went to monthly in 2011)....
This is a torrent of all 54 previous Torrents that are available
Many worldwide have been seeding the torrents one at a time each month as it comes out,
but each one has tens of thousans of ebooks, and is usually between 5 to 10 Gig,
most of the books are actually being seeded by other countries (but the original booktracker.org trackers
don't work in the US)
but doing a torrent one month at a time, only gives the current months torrent, so i started thinking about
how to do one thing that has multiple things in it, and can be expanded in the future...
so i came up with the following ideas of
putting all the torrents as flat files in a folder (so they are not in the main directory and executed,
but are treated by most torrent clients as data in a subfolder, rather than multiple torrents in the main folder).
the original torrents use trackers that don't work in the western countries, so i updated the trackers in the
torrents to add "western friendly" trackers
Some people prefer magnet links rather than torrents... a simple trackerless mag link is simply some text with an sha1 code in it
i have included a program that extracts the sha1 codes from existing torrents in a subdirectory, and those gives the sha1/ach1 codes
that are combined with text to make a magnet link
there is also a text file named "maglinks.txt" that is edited output from that and has the torrent name and mag link
(sorry to be so circumspect but many email programs freak if you try to insert text that happens to be text html codes (like mag links),
so I can only describe it, rather than type in a real example)
