Features

The features for sfLimeTracker are:

  • Easy to install: The user can just ftp a bunch of files to a shared web host account. I think we can assume the user has access to phpMyAdmin, but probably doesn’t have shell access.
  • Web interface: Navigate to it, set an admin password, log in.
  • Feeds: Supports multiple feeds and sets of feeds. For instance, a video podcast might have one feed with content in Windows Media, while another with the same shows but encoded in H.264.
  • BitTorrent Tracker: It’s a BitTorrent tracker.
  • Makes Torrent: The user can make a torrent of a file using the url. LimeCast hashes the file, and creates a .torrent.

How end-users will get LimeTracker:

  1. Download a .zip file
  2. Unzip it on your personal computer
  3. Upload the folder of files to your web host
  4. Navigate your browser to install.php, where you will set the administrator password and enter the control panel
