cooperative sharing

thanks to someone, i experimented a little with trying to pre-share some stuff over i2p to increase speeds on initial swarm, or send out to reinforce an old seed.
they made a useful tool for doing this with server and client scripts. they run a script with a server tunnel, looks like good amount of security and checks going on. Then there's a client side script that sends a .torrent file (or anything really, but the script checks for .torrent file i think) to upload to them. whoever is running the server script creates api keys for the clients. it could be done over an encrypted tunnel for another layer of security.
on their side, as far as i know checks are done and it's placed in a torrent folder and starts downloading. on my end, this appears to happen quickly. obviously this is more dangerous for the server end.
so some sort of "cooperative sharing" can be done this way, good for redundancy and speeds. For a large file, you could push it out to them very quickly using several snarks dedicated to doing that (should be able to max out their torrent client that way), then share on postman after its dispersed.
