# torrent
## Name
*torrent* - use BitTorrent to disseminate zone data.
## Description
The *torrent* plugin uses the BitTorrent protocol to disseminate zone data. Multiple peers can
connect and down- and upload the data. A couple of nodes can be `seed` only meaning they will update
the torrent when their zone data changes. Non-`seed` peers will write received data back into the
zonefile - once the torrent is fully downloaded.
## Syntax
The simplest syntax is for a peer wanting to receive the zone data:
~~~ txt
torrent DBFILE
~~~
* **DBFILE** the zone database file to torrent. If the path is relative, the path from the
*root* plugin will be prepended to it.
For peers seeding the torrent use this, slightly expanded, syntax
~~~ txt
torrent DBFILE {
seed
}
~~~
* `seed` tells *torrent* to seed content from **DBFILE** to the peers, it will _never_ write to
**DBFILE**. When `seed` is _not_ specified **DBFILE** will be written to once the entire torrent
is downloaded.
## Examples
~~~ txt
example.org {
file db.example.org
torrent db.example.org
}
~~~
