What it does

Diferior has emerged from its beta cocoon and it’s made some nice improvements since last year. You may know Diferior as an open source PHP content management system. In other words, with Diferior you can set up your own torrent site. It supports several different trackers including PHP as well as FTP and http downloads. The PHP tracker works straight of the box and requires no programming knowledge. Having your own tracker allows you share information with thousands of people at once. So if you’re working on an open source project, or if you’re a band looking distribute some of your music freely, Diferior’s the way to go. You can also create your own blog, forums, torrent support, user profile, etc. Diferior has a lot to offer. And it’s free.

In their own words

“For those of you unfamiliar with the project, by definition Diferior (different + superior, get it?) is a multi-purpose content management system, meaning that it provides all the necessary tools to easily publish and organize your content. What is so special about it, you ask? Well, this is not your ordinary blog CMS. In fact, it is capable of distributing files via BitTorrent, HTTP and FTP protocols, has inbuilt forums, a sophisticated user system and many many more features that each can be tweaked, customized or disabled altogether.

You can run torrent trackers, blogs, forums and other community-based sites with it.”

Why it might be a killer

Diferior is a great solution for people wanting to distribute information or media but aren’t too web savvy. It works straight out of the box and is aimed at novices and pros alike.

Some questions

Will Diferior’s product be used for legal purposes? Or will it face trouble with folks who have less than legal intentions?
