Torrent caching

Hi friends!

I am looking for torrent caching software (like SQUID for http). Do you know any?

  • PeerApp can do that but probably doesn't suit the scale you are looking at.

    How many torrent users and what bandwidth/volume do you want to apply the cache to? What platform do you want to run it on? Do you need to handle a specific torrent app/protocol, and be able to cache SSL torrent downloads?

    From William
  • The mechanisms for doing this are now built into the bittorrent protocol: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cache_Discovery_Protocol

    However as mentioned in the article, to date no specs have been released to allow support.
