0 Haggis Veteran Share Posted June 28, 2015 If its purely web hosting you have bought and by uploading you mean seeding then no you cant do this 1 Share Link to post Share on other sites
0 +InsaneNutter MVC Share Posted June 28, 2015 If you purely have a web hosting package then probably not, you would need a VPS or dedicated server to do that. You could try a PHP torrent client such as Torrentflux, however I think most hosting providers would not be too happy with you doing this. Link to post Share on other sites
0 +John Teacake MVC Share Posted June 28, 2015 You could install the WebGui from say Deluge,rTorrent something like that. What is it you have EXACTLY bought. Link to post Share on other sites

0 +Kyle Subscriber¹ Share Posted June 28, 2015 Webhosting Deluxe I have purchased I have already tried and installed torrentflux, but for whatever reason, torrents won't start. Godaddy has some pretty strict firewall rules iirc. These servers (the one in your plan) are optimized for web hosting not for torrenting. BUT, since you are of course only torrenting legal files as per the rules here at Neowin, you can use a service known as a seedbox to seed torrent files. http://cheapseedboxes.com/top-10-seedbox-best-providers-cheap/ has a list of some seedbox providers. DediSeedbox has a decent service. Link to post Share on other sites
