I am currently working on a script which will index the files and will create an ed2k link on the download page (for now flat text files until I or someone else converts it to mysql)
Thats a good idea and all...but are you planning to script in cgi or php? CGI would get crippled with all the requests, and php would cripple the server with all the requests.....

You say you will use text file to store the indexed data on the files...but for the script to search what im guessing is thousands of url's and file names would be a mamoth task which would no doubt drain the server.....maybe a .dat file would be better?
