DDB Feed plugin can act as a publisher or a subscriber to content.

As a publisher it takes a source of content (either a local file or a webpage) and makes a copy of this available as a torrent. It also makes a descriptor to this available for you to share with other people so they can subscribe to the content and get their own copy of it. The descriptor includes a public key so that when subscribers download the content they are safe in assuming that it came from the publisher. The plugin periodically scans the shared resource and will make a newer copy available to subscribers if it changes.

As a subscriber it takes a publication descriptor (for example a magnet link to the publish descriptor created by the publisher) and periodically downloads the latest content associated with it. It makes the content available via a local http port so the subscriber can easily consume it.

Why bother? It allows you to share dynamic content with multiple parties in an efficient manner in a decentralised fashion.

It can be combined with the RSS Feed Generator to create a Subscription based on your downloads.
