I want to start a web site for sharing copyright free music. The file will be distributed using BitTorrent technology. I think it's the best way to conserve server resources. However, it may not be the simplest way for users.

I need help designing the web site. I need users to be able to upload their torrent files to the server. The file will be approved by staff and then listed for others to download. I don't really have much knowledge in PHP, so anyone that can help with the coding would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks.

My advice would be to learn PHP yourself, rather than have someone standing by you doing most of the work. I've been wanting to start my website myself, where people can show and sell their artwork (sort of like an art-based Ebay), and at first I was overwelmed because I know absolutely nothing about PHP and MySql and was going to hire a programmer to help me. Then I thought, hey wait a minute, if I have someone do most of the coding and a problem arises, I'm not going to know how to fix it! Don't want that one bit...

So I've set off on a long and tedious journey to learn these things. In the end though, it'll definitely be worth it, because you'll be smarter, have a groovy new website on your hands, and more money in your pocket. :)
