| Feature | Description | Why It Matters | |---------|-------------|----------------| | Centralised licence & policy server | Admin console that pushes bandwidth caps, allowed trackers, and mandatory encryption to all client nodes. | Enforces corporate compliance. | | Audit logging | Immutable JSON logs of all torrent actions, network statistics, and file‑system operations (tamper‑evident). | Satisfies regulatory requirements (e.g., GDPR, SOC 2). | | SAML / LDAP authentication | Single‑sign‑on for the remote Web UI and API. | Simplifies user management in large organisations. | | Clustered deployment | Multiple Haynes Pro Torrent instances sharing a common DHT node pool and storage backend (NFS, SMB, Ceph). | Enables high‑availability download farms. | | Content‑filtering hooks | Plugin API to block or flag torrents based on hash blacklists, file‑type whitelists, or custom policy scripts. | Prevents accidental distribution of prohibited material. |
