depends on how minimal I guess.<p>I once ran a p2p site called flashseed. The basic premise was that it was a torrent tracker that solved the two major failings of bittorrent - initial seeding and incomplete swarms, by hosting a static copy of the file.<p>I posted it on a forum, but due to the ill-conceived name people thought it was a free seedbox rather than a tracker. It blew up overnight and crashed the server. 99% of the files uploaded turned out to be pirated movies and TV shows. At the time isohunt was being sued and the legality of the site was unclear, even if I did comply with DMCA. After some thought I decided it wasn&#x27;t worth the effort, and let it die a natural death...<p>If I were to do it again I&#x27;d probably make it invite-only
