To ease hosting of big files, we can create a little exe (or depending on the platform whatever) that embeds the .torrent file and simply acts as a normal bittorrent client. Users hosting big files would be able to generate a small exe on the fly with the .torrent file attached, so that their customers can download this file instead of the big file and using it download the original big file from other peers.

We might use external libraries to implement this.
We need to think how to keep seeding the file once it's downloaded. Maybe a flag also embedded to the exe would make it stay in memory until next reboot?
