I want to create a webbased download manager for one-click-hosters like rapidshare. Similar to PyLoad (http://pyload.org/) but i want to make some significant changes and make it much easier.
First i thought i could just grab a MVC-Framework and start coding but then I realized that the app have to work without being connected to it. So I need something like a continious running service. The app should work on a linux NAS.
I just have no idea how to start and what I exacetly need for this. An use-case could be: open browser and point to web-app and add some links. Then starting to download and closing the browser. After some time the downloads should be finished and I can repeat the use-case.
The programming language isnt that important but i prefer java, javascript or php. But what technologies do I need? Web Services? Daemons? Sockets? How can I accomplish the "always running service" on the service?
I am thankful for any keywords.
