  Description     : Integrated BitTorrent Server / Tracker / Seeder

It's easy to download files with BitTorrent, but sharing your files over BitTorrent is somewhat 
complicated. You have to generate torrents for each file you want to share, run a tracker, and run a 
seeder. Most people don't even know what any of that means. It's much more complicated to share files using 
BitTorrent than with a webserver. To put your files on the web, you just drop them in the correct folder 
and then webserver does the rest.

Now we have Snakebite, which provides all of the power of BitTorrent with the ease of use of a webserver. 
Simply install snakebite, launch it, and drop files in the correct folder. They are then shared over 
BitTorrent with no additional effort. Additionally, snakebite automatically generates a user-customizable 
page with links to all of your torrents. That way you can just point people to your links page and they can 
download anything that you have.
