Bittorrent Plugins Are A No, No!

January 10, 2010

Not every site we will host will want to use plugins such as a bittorrent plugin, to date we only know of the plugin for Drupal.

Bittorrent trackers are a bit of a grey area, most are used to track copyrighted files that are distributed across networks, which are seen as illegal.

We’ve taken the steps to advise our members not to use bittorrent plugins for any of the software we offer, simply because your sharing our servers with other clients and the use of a bittorrent tracker will greatly reduce resources on the server.

If you wish to use Bittorrent capabilities, you should consider dedicated hosting, which can be quite expensive.

For your own benefit, it’s better not to use any sort of Bittorrent plugins, whether just indexing the torrent files can get you into trouble.

Since we are in the UK our copyright laws are enforced by organizations that partner with various organizations in the USA.
