I cannot recommend this mod and felt I should jump in here and let people know, the support for this mod is terrible. It's one thing if it were free or even cheap but for $125 I expect at least some support. To begin with it took two days to get it after paying, then if you have any questions it's a minimum of 24 hours for a response and that's if he even replies. If you are savvy enough to handle errors yourself then it may be for you but I wouldn't get this if you expect support.

I wanted to bump this out of fairness, it turned out the person supporting this was out of town for a while and was unable to get back with me. Apparently there was a post about it on his forum somewhere that I missed. He has since jumped right in on my site and is taking care of things in a timely fashion. Sorry for the confusion on this, I jumped the gun.

For a working example of this mod feel free to come and check it out at my site http://www.jamtothis.com

That VBTT script is Trash. Alot of bugs Basicly he just modfity a free script called torrent trader and then release it under his name and charing for $100 euro. WHen the VBTT script is not even interrated with the forum's user database. if you look at your forum user database and tracker database. the numbers are different. and when you remove user from forum it doesn't remove form tracker. There are so much more critical bug about this script. I won't use it even it's free.

He charged me $150 euro total for better support. took him 3 days to install the script. first day before the install even finish he telling me he want to go play cs. and went off. There are alot more bad stuff about it. I only posted few bugs in his forum. and he deleted my post. And THEN he made a post saying how much he SUPPORTED. then i made another post to POINT OUT that he didn't support AT ALL!. And all his unprofessional replys to my email and msn sounds like a whining kid. Anyways no need to say more i will post bug list somewhere else and hope no more people gets scamed. Whoever that is already using this script good luck after your site grows bigger u will start seeing the problems.

Right now a programer is coding a new script for me. he coded everything from zero and using XBT as backen. PHP tracker has it's limitation so a c++ tracker is much better. ANyways VBTT just a Trash that a kid modified few code from Torrent Trader and release under his name and charges money for it.

you said he away for few days. a $100 euro script should have support all the time. Look at vbulletin. Only $80 for license and it's totally worth it. You get responds from vbulletin's support team in less than few hrs. sometimes mins. Any script that's over $100 has a support team RIGHt there to support you and professionals. not kids who selling trash script and goes away party every night after he gets the money. then saying he is away. He said so himself he party everynight after i paid him those money. got the msn logs.

p.s
It seems everytime he made a sell he willl be away for few days. must be going out to spend the easy money he scammed.

[oldfan]

Well here's my version...

I got the mod/hack 3 months ago and it works great!!
When I had problem with the script, I sent said author a email and he got back to me with 24 hours. I fixed the minor bug with minutes.
He has since upgraded my version 3 times, without any problems and free of charge.
I give it 2 thumbs up!!

[Drache]

1. VBTT is just s small modify he did on Torrent Trader a Free script. And yes he is in the Torrent Trader project, And No he didn't code Torrent Trader him Self. It could probly take any coder that's in this forum less than 1 or 2 hrs to code Torrent Trader into the forum and make it run like VBTT ( a FULLY BUGED one) probly a day to make it bug free.

2. VBTT has alot of bugs. User database different. tracker and forum user database has different value. I asked him how come my forum's user database and the tracker user database have different user numbers. his reply "I don't know".

3. When you delete a member from your forum the member's data stays in your tracker. And when people register on the forum they will be auto registered on the tracker without needing to click on the confirm email to active their account. Then what's the point of making the Tracker private when people can just register FAKE account and download the torrents? Or is there a point of tracking member's upload and download at all? when they can just hack it easily. I told him this problem and i asked him what if people just register a real account to download the torrent file and then register fake account to leech from tracker? To make tracker not track their stats. He said "That's your member's problem" Imagine if you find a bug about Windows that everyone can access your computer. And you report to MS support team then they tell you "That's the hacker's problem" I would be changing my OS to linux right away. and ask MS for refund. Same goes to VBTT. His reply are very unprofessional.

3. I sent him $100 euro on Aug. 31, 2004, And on the same day he email me the script VBTT V1.1 i sent him another $50 euro extra on Sep. 1, 2004 for better support. Because i told him I need to get the tracker on my site ASAP i have no time to waste. And he goes ok. installing VBTT for me WHEN it says clearly on his website buying vbtt you will get free support and install. And before the script is even working he says I want to play CS. (CS= Counter Strike online game) and install ur script tomorrrow. OK next day installed. Script doesnt' display peer right. shows up same peer 3 4 times and he went off somewhere i waited like 2 days he is finally back saying he is busy having party at night. OK he fixed the stats and he goes off again. NOW! the user table giving me error and i wasn't able to contact him. So i have to stop using the script. And finally he is back i was abit upset asking him why he away so long and i been having problem with the script. He said "I have a life, so i can't code all the time" that pissed me off right away but i stayed claimly asking if he is able to fix it. he says no. it will come out in next version before i buy this script i asked him MANY TIMES to make sure he will release vbtt 1.3 in the weeken. And until now here is version 1.3?

There are too much bug to list and too much bad things about his support. A screenshot would mean more. I've attached 3 screenshot in here about 2 post that i made on his forum got deleted by him or edited. ANd he told me in the email to use support forum dont' msn him. Now he says in the support forum saying i should msn him and don't post in the support forum........ the last email he sent me is is asking me to stop contact him until we both cool down. asking me to stop crying and just sit back and wiat for new updates on VBTT..... I have nothing more to say that's why i don't contact him anymore and trying to ask paypal to refund me.

Link to post that got deleted by him. http://forum.tutoriaux.net/index.php?showtopic=426 and edited by him edited by him http://forum.tutoriaux.net/index.php?showtopic=72

Now I am paying Olaf van der Spek to code a cutsom script i want for me. He Coded Everything by himself in less than 2 weeks. And did all the things that i requested. Anybody that use bittorrent should know XBT Tracker. Olaf Van Der Spek is the developer of XBT Tracker one of the BEST Tracker out there. Right now my site is runing fine without any bugs using the script Olaf developed. And he is still trying to keep improving the script and contact me whenever he have time to ask me if i find any bugs on his script and fix it right away. He is really working hard to try to make everything perfect. I have to say i am really really impressed by Olaf's work. If you are interested on olaf's script you can contact him at olafvdspek@gmail.com and you can see the working version at http://www.hongfire.com/forum/torrents.php?

Also i think if any advanced coder seen both scripts they will be able to tell you how bad VBTT is and how good Olaf's script is.

Ok after this guy Sqrt who sold VBTT saw my post in public forum he finally contacted me. http://www.hongfire.com/doc/sqrt%20lies%20prove/01.JPG you can see this pic after 11days of not replying message.

for full converstaion please read the screenshots. in here.

http://www.hongfire.com/doc/sqrt%20lies%20prove/Sqrt%20lies/ screenshot on msn

http://www.hongfire.com/doc/ screenshot of msn logs including time.

For people who doesn't have time to read it all i will post some info about it.

He contacted me after he saw my post about complaint on the public forum since he removed all my complaint for in his website. And when he message me i was busy working on some new design and ideas with my other website staff. i told him to wait few mins while i am trying to finish the converstaion with other people on msn.

Sqrt says "Reply now or die" which can be found in here. http://www.hongfire.com/doc/sqrt%20lies%20prove/01.JPG

Then have many long bull++++s from him and finally he started to showing his true face by saying logs can be edited and he will act different in the forums.

which starts from here http://www.hongfire.com/doc/sqrt%20lies%20prove/17.JPG but i suggest you read from the start as well.

Sqrt says "logs can be edited, shortened"

Sqrt says "just make you aware tht in every palce you +++++ed about me I will respons clamly"

Sqrt says "i know diplomacy :P"

and in his later message he is trying to scam me again by trying to ask me to edit my post on vbulletin.org and filesoup forums first and then refund me.

1. Even if he is going to refund me first and then i edit post i will still having hard time to decide. Coz for me to get $150 back that means i have to hide the truth from all other people in vbulletin.org and filesoup community and let sqrt to scam other people. So it took me time to think and talk to my other freinds was thinking should i just forget about the $150 euro and do something good for the community. but then it's not easy for me to earn $150 euro while we trying to run a good and free community for peopele around the world. so i decied to aggree edit post have refund.

But he told me he want to make $20 payment every 3 days....... look at the screenshot you will understand. I already got scammed by him and would i trust him again? No way! so after he keep on wasting my time and i decided to just close the chat and make this post to let the community know. And hope you guys won't get scamed. I think he probly spent all money he scamed off other ppl and he finally have to come back. but he didn't have the money to refund that's why he insist me to wait 3days for every $20 payment.

To people who cares read how he act and what he say in those messages. You will have a idea about what kind of person he is.

After reading this lot, I'm very glad I didn't buy a copy of this, I've seen the crap in action (3 times, every time NOT working, causing DB errors), he should have a serious slap round the face for ripping people off, I don't know how the hell he even has the cheek to try and charge people for it!

Just my two cents.......

[ericgtr]

I went with hongfire's guy instead (posted above) and it's been working great for me!

What errors?
Mines been working and making me money for 4 months now :)
I'd like to see these 3 "times" your talking about..
Did these/you people install its themselves?

too bad it only works with some versions of sql/php..

[nexialys]

hum.. i think this thread is going too far now...

there is nothing else than flaming on someone that is not even on this forum/community, and that part i would like you to cease now...

also, there is comments about a commercial release that is not even advertised here either... and this is against the rules... even if you criticise the work of that guy.. this is not a single way the goal of this forum.

... please if you have complaints about this tool, go to their forum or simply don't buy it. about the guy, same thing... you now have his reputation in the face... let's talk about more serious business please!

[Takamine334]

I have to agree with OldFan.

I run a huge (we're getting bigger everyday) BT forum at www.everydayjones.com/BitTorrent for the trading of live lossless (SHN, FLAC, etc) music.

It's had its bugs, but SQRTBOY has helped me with each and every issue.

It's working fine for me.

[Takamine334]

Of course, if you're dumb enough to use a warez version...your board should have so many bugs it makes your hair fall out

thanks for all the opinions in here, glad to know there is a place to find out if these $100 scripts "could" be junk before droping the money.

I would love to see an xbt integration for vb. I bet it wouldn't need php hacking too as xbt is mysql based anyway.
- add xbt's tables
- add an awareness of vb's users/sessions to xbt
- add some stats to the templates
Is there much more?

I have to agree with the other posters here. I emailed the guy about half a dozen times to purchase this script with no type of response. His forum area has been down for days.

Who me?

[boxingscene]

Who me?
Just quoted you to tell you that I agree with the other people. It's like the guy doesnt want to get paid. I emailed him several times ove rthe last few days, his forums has been down for days. Not a good sign and I think I'm staying away now from his script.

[oldfan]

http://www.phpsoft.org/ has been down?
Maybe I dunno...
I have been in close contact with sqrtboy since I bought this, so I find your comments hard to believe.
I know sqrtboy is about to release VBTT version 2 and is going to make version 1.XX open source.

[ericgtr]

I recommend getting a hold of hongfire's guy, maybe hongfire can mention this to him to see if he would be willing to post up a pay mod for it somewhere. It works well and the developer is there for you when you need him, not hit and miss as it is with vbtt. Hongfire's guy is no more expensive and his worked great for me when vbtt had a lot of problems, which I never got resolved because of lack of support. Not that he doesn't always respond but when you are setting up a site you don't want to wait 2 weeks to get everything fixed after paying good money for it.

[halgrunwell]

I have never had a problem with SqrtBoy and his scripts. I run a legal BitTorrent live music community and he has always been responsive and helpful. There were 4 or 5 very small bugs and he has fixed every single one including offering me additional assistance with add ons, asking for no additional money.

It is a good integration and worth every penny.

same with me :)

[dssmili]

I took Olaf's script and let me tell you, this 100 Euros bought me not only an excellent add on to the forums but Olaf's most corteous and patient help. He personally installed most of the stuff himself, customized his script and files, troubleshooting my problems and fixed all up for no extra charge. He never made me feel like the idiot I am when it comes to torrents. He comes highly recommended and I tell you I never experienced support provided by anyone the way he did it. We are talking emails galore, MSN Messenger hand holding through a 6 hour time zome difference. If you go and get his script you know it will work and not be a resource hog when all is up and running. The man is a torrent guru.
You can reach him at http://sourceforge.net/projects/xbtt/ or email to OlafvdSpek@GMail.Com

You can see the finished product on http://www.dssftp.com/forum (look at the neat tracer stats on the bottom above the birthday stuff)

So while you may be sucking on your teeth saying this is a lot of money you also get unparalleled support which is worth a lot more than the script's value.

Just an FYI...

Well, the VBTT version 1.3 is going to be freely available as indicated in this topic here: http://www.filesoup.com/forum/index.php?showtopic=98052&st=0

The release is expected to be available around mid to end month.

Phpsoft has already released a freely available ipbtt integration here http://phpsoft.org/ipbtt.php

Thought you guys might like this.

[Takamine334]

Hal....don't waste your time. I currently run version 1.4 and it's complete crap. It has so many bugs that it'll make you pull your hair out.

Well all I can say mine is chugging along without a hitch.
You get what you pay for.

[halgrunwell]

I have been running vbtt1.3 for about 5 months. It's not the factory default version though. We have tweaked it quite a bit, especially in the tracker area.

[b65ran]

let me tell u guys something! I prefer xbtt. we used both and VBTT was first! for about two months. As the pressure was getting high my tracker was acting all wired including wrong stats and tracker errors! not to mension that it went free and open source right after i bought the script.

then after a detailed search for a good tracker we managed to get hold of olaf and got it done through him! trust me he does good work and all the stats working fine now including smooth tracker activity! worth it! but one thing they have common is in response time. you can never get hold of any of those guys! olaf is even wired, you get reply after couple of days but if he decides to work for you that day he does it right!!

just a personal experience! no intension to harm anyone!

[Flow Fusion]

Iis this still being supported?

[XTF]

Yes, XBT vB Mod is still available and supported.

My experience with Olaf has been excellent. I realize that he's 6 or 7 time zones ahead of me so I take that into account when I send him an email. :)

You are now responding to a 3 year old post. ;)

As this thread is over 4 years old and nothing new is coming out of this, closing.
