Amazon S3 buckets can be uploaded (and downloaded) using the BitTorrent protocol. Can this be done with Azure blob storage?

I can't find an answer for this on google. Alot of hits are for the Azure bittorrent client and not Azure the cloud host.

    nothing prevents you from running bittorrent clients in Azure. Actually, Microsoft would love that. Lots of money on network traffic. – Bruno Faria Aug 02 '17 at 23:03

    While true, @BrunoFaria, I suspect OP wants something more hands-off like https://docs.aws.amazon.com/AmazonS3/latest/dev/S3Torrent.html. – ceejayoz Mar 26 '18 at 18:35

Can someone give me a straight yes or not answer?

Yes, of course. You could create a Azure VM(Iaas) and install bittorrent service on it. It is same as your local PC.

But on Azure VM, you need port bittorrent port on Azure NSG(Inbound rules).

  • I think OP is looking for something like [Amazon S3's built-in torrent tracker](https://docs.aws.amazon.com/AmazonS3/latest/dev/S3Torrent.html). – ceejayoz Mar 26 '18 at 18:35
