Is that possible? I was in the bathroom and I came up with the idea of being able to add file URLs to the list of 'trackers' or to the connected seeds, which would let the server upload to the swarm. This would decrease bandwidth strain on all sites.
Why can't this be implemented, and why shouldn't it be? It seems almost absurdly archaic to say "here's one link for one file, if this link dies the file is gone and you can never get it again." This is the internet! Everything should be everywhere and everyone should have it!
Of course, this idea isn't strapped to torrents, so why hasn't it been implemented at all? It would remove the need for 50-URL-long lists of mirrors, half of which are dead.
