Im looking for a way to send updated image files to laptops at my work and Im thinking to create something around the torrent protocol to do it. What i really need is a client to download one specific file of my server. I wouldnt want to install a full torrent program on all the computers as it would kinda send the wrong signal how to use the computers ;)

So do anyone have any tips? I looked around for clients with commandline possibility but still its not exactly what i want. Perhaps there is even some module being made somewhere? :)

Depending on how the command line clients work, you can select one and write a front end using TProcess?

That's exactly what i'm working on at the moment.
Finished a BEncode Module a few days ago and now preparing
for DHT und Tracker programming. Maybe you should use opentracker
and noch DHT should not be that difficult.

@Hummelpups,

Are you using a torrent library (e.g. libtorrent) or writing it from scratch?
