    I've got some homemade videos and things that I'd like to be able to distribute to my family and friends. I've been using YouSendIt.com to send things, but some members of my family live in remote areas with inconsistant Internet connections, and the files I'm sending are too large because they connection keeps cutting out before the download is finished.

    I figure I can solve that by setting up my own tracker and distributing them using BitTorrent.

    Anyway, I was just wondering if any of you have done it before, and if you thought it was more hassle than it's worth?

    I have a webpage and web server, and I'm pretty sure that's all I need to get started, but maybe I'm missing something?

    Anyway, any help would be appreciated.

    :)
