minor geek heaven

[Eric C]

for the last couple of months in my free time i've
been reading about bittorrent and trying to learn php
so i could make a bittorrent indexer mod for punbb. 
well, today i finally have most of the bugs worked out
and posted the code to the punbb forum asking for a
beta tester or two.  here's a screen shot:

i've learned so much playing around with this it's
amazing!  and being able to share with others is
pretty cool.  now to a real programmer this isn't
anything too great but to a beginner it's freakin'
heaven!

(as a side note, on the pic you'll notice the last two
torrent stats are the same, that's because the
etree.org tracker's scrape is screwy.  i told them on
their forum.)

there's still a ton of features to add.  at my current
rate i should be finished when i'm 110.

so...  a while back, i think josh (the kernel hacker)
mentioned starting a website to share libre / open
source media.  did that ever happen?  if somebody else
hasn't already done it, do you think people would be
interested?
