Feature request:
I'd wish to create a torrent from an externally stored, web hosted, file, instead of a locally stored file, in such a way that when I go off-line the file still can be downloaded.
Torrent downloads transmit specific parts of the file instead of the whole file, but this is not new.
Any download manager software does the same when it resumes a download, by using the good old FTP protocol.
There should not be difference if those parts of the file are being downloaded from an user's PC or a web server.
I am not an expert nor programmer, but I think that if this is impossible it isn't because of technical issues, but political or ideological or other issues.
I think it is technically possible. I do not know about other issues, but it is a good way for having a clearer idea about who really this kind of tools are designed to serve to.
Best regards.

This feature is not impossible as Transmission and uTorrent say, but it exist and it is called web seeding.
Azureus and Deluge have it.
Best regards.
