BitLet Evolves: Create and Upload Torrents Online

BitLet, the web-based BitTorrent client has received a significant update. A new feature makes it possible to create .torrent files online – ready configured for popular open trackers – and then automatically upload them to Mininova and other sites for maximum exposure.

BitLet: A Cute Web-Based BitTorrent ClientWe reported on BitLet back in July and people were quite excited by this new idea. Although in its early stages, BitLet already looked impressive. A real help to people who want a no-frills but functional BitTorrent experience, BitLet functions within the browser, negating the need for additional software.

The BitLet team promised upgrades were on the way, and after a few short months, the BitLet ‘Upload’ section is now complete. With this addition, BitLet users can not only download torrents but also create them too, all done online within a regular browser. Entering the ‘Upload’ page, the user is asked to enter a tracker of their choice. Bitlet conveniently provides the option to select the urls of four popular open trackers for some seriously easy torrent creation.

Once created, the automation of the torrent creation process doesn’t stop. BitLet Upload gives the option to send the .torrent file immediately to Mininova, which is great for advertising the content the user is about to make available. Automatically sending to other sites will be possible in the future.

This is an important new addition to the online BitLet experience. Offering convenience to those who prefer to use a browser or simply have no choice, BitLet Upload brings BitTorrent distribution another step closer to the complete novice.

    Does this allow comcast users to seed?

  • ha.

    GREAT! More noob loaded content then ever seen before will now pollute the torrent pool even more.!! -wtf

    What an extremely stupid idea this was.

  • Netmaster

    This is simply amazing! Opening the door to less knowledged user.

    @Ha: It is my opinion that this way, they will gain experience and become power bittorrent user in no time!

    We all started somewhere didnt you?

  • Yeww

    Do files seed same as well im a lil confused? good idea all the same very portable i guess

  • h2h

    definitely useful for those who don’t want to dl torrent software and configure it.

  • ha.

    sure, now easier then ever for fakes to be uploaded, hell , why dont we just automate it for the mpaa and others.

    it’s also one thing to add a torrent to a listing, its another to actually seed it properly. No superpower client in the world can help a toolbag actually seed. more dead torrents floating around, AWESOME!

  • example

    Here is a good example of a toolbag that can’t seed. Torrent was added THREE DAYS AGO.

    Do we really need more of this??

    Demonoid is up !!!

  • hngovr1

    yeah, funny how everyone was bashing Ernesto for posting “rumors” about the CIRA, but in fact, he was right about it. I really dont get why demonoid’s down time yurned into the most immature flame war i’ve ever seen…..

  • Pete

    Sorry for off topic, but Demonoid is dead to us Canadians. They got owned by CRIA. I visit their page and got redirected to a message that reads , “We received a letter from a lawyer represeting the CRIA, they were threatening with legal action and We need to start blocking Canadian traffic because of this. If you reside in Canada, that is the reason you are being redirected to this message. Thanks for your understanding, and sorry for any inconvenience.”.
    Sigh…

  • John M

    How does it scan your file(s) to make the hash codes a .torrent needs I wonder? Could be a bit problematic for large uploads.

  • f0rk

    Looks like an java applet. So now uploading needed.

  • Anonymous

    looks basically like what http://www.torrenteditor.com already did…

  • h33t

    Ernesto was correct for the right reasons both times Demonoid was down this year

    this BitLet idea is as bad as torrentflux

    “wait, i am the **AA, i gonna open a TorrentFlux site and host movies then sue downloaders”

    *wait, i am the **AA, i gonna open an BitLet account then sue downloaders of movies”

    WHAT BITTORRENT NEEDS: safe responsible ipfiltering moderated trackers

  • Geckofiend

    Would it kill you to provide a link to it?

  • tainted coding

    it’ java based, screw that shit!

  • system

    It might be java based, but the essential point is that it runs from your web browser.
    Javascript and flash aint gonna cut it for running torrents (apart from the security restrictions, hashing in javascript would kill your machine), server side technologies like php and asp cannot interact with the browser on that level, java is just about the only thing it could be written in.

    I imagine it could be useful in certain instances where a fat pipe is available but a regular client cannot be installed.
    Net cafes for instance, or workplaces with strict controls on their PCs.

    With http://www.podmailing.com you can upload your files and folders and they are freely seeded by their servers for a few days – works like a charm!

    I’ve tried to upload a torrent file using Bitlet recently. The file is on Mininova but has 0 seeds. I have downloaded the file and am attempting to seed it from two different computers. It will download fine from Mininova to any computer but displays no seeds in Mininova….why?
