Torrents are commonly used for file sharing, but could they be used in a following scenario: Person A has a client installed and has registered on a network. Person A requires a specific service (i.e. a freelance ghostwriter) Persons B, C, D, and E are all registered on the network as ghostwriters through individual identifiers. When Person A executes a query, he gets a list with Persons B, C, D, and E. Person A than selects a single user from the list by clicking on the link. The query returns Person B's portfolio and reviews with the link to engage in a direct communication via an IRC-type of software. You can guess where I'm going with this. I'm wondering if such a system could be coded and how secure would it be via HTTPS (without VPN) because I'm certain that the additional step of creating a VPN would be a drag and ultimate deterrence. The point is to eliminate a middleman using a no-fuss system for less technically literate users. Hence, the torrent tracker. Thanks!

Hi everyone, I'm really interested in HBO's decision to force Australians to buy a Foxtel subscription if they want to watch Game of Thrones. I'm doing my Master of Economics (and I'm a Game of Thrones fan) and I thought I'd like to base a project on comparing download data from different countries, and comparing it with the cost and availability of the show. I need some advice on getting some solid download statistics. I know I can find some stats retrospectively through trackers, but ideally I'd like episode by episode download data. I'd be super grateful for any advice. Susan

Is there any way to look at a data base that will tell you how much has been uploaded on each file? The question I would ask would be. "Which files are getting uploaded a lot and which files are uploading a little?"
