file sharing feature

[szh7379]

Could tribler implement a feature like emule, monitor a directory to share, every file can be searched and give out a link contain file infohash (magnet:?xt=urn:btih: or tribler://), because what we want to share keep changing, every time you have to creat a torrent manually.

Interesting request. Let's call this 'sharing directory monitoring'.
In coming years we want to move towards effortless sharing by default. Meaning a Youtube-like experience, without needing to manage files. By default you give to others what you have taken as bandwidth from the community. Experts probably want full control and explicit file management.

Glad to hear that, as pravicy being a torrent problem, tribler should do the best to attract the huge torrent sharing user, automatic magnet link generation work in an intermediate stage might be better.

@szh7379 , what kind of usage do you intend for this feature? What kind of data requires this feature?

[szh7379]

lots of files but don't want to contain all files in one torrent, be added or deleted too often.

I've seen similar feature request a few times here and on the forum. I guess the related issues are still open.
