my suggestion is: make torrent files to be in categories, I know most they will use the search function tho.

oh I saw the search function isn't completed yet.

I really want this as a good torrent tracker for vb, if you need help I'll gladly help ya.

If you click any of the category images (such as single, album, etc.), you can show a specific category :)

I would do a search for torrent on here and bump the discussion where it's heavily requested, there is a lot of talk about it.

yeah I noticed it after that post, but what I want is categories in the index page, structure is like vbulletin forum.

You should add a search button for all pages because users use the search most.

rock on guys. i am stoked.

Great idea guys. I'd definately be interested in this.

This is a cool idea but alot of hosts are starting to ban these from their clients using them if they are on a shared plan (like me :( )

So my question is how is this on taking up resources on the server so they never know its there?

Anyway, on our P4 3.2 GHz dedicated server the server load averages around 0.5 - 0.7 with 90+ users and 200 tracker peers, so I'd say it's pretty ok...

Well actuall I've just been using BitTorrent for less than a month, I don't know how it work.

What do you host on your server fro clients ? the *.torrent files ?

if there's any docs about this please post.

This idea is quite interesting to me.

Although BT has been categorized as an illegal file sharing medium I can testify that
in our industry there are already several open source derivatives of BT aimed at
producing collaboration modules for engineering design groups.

BT has proven to be a very dependable and effective means of document propagation
and management within a network of users. Its both flexible and robust enough to
deploy on large scales.

I operate a support forum with several long term development threads that could
make great use of such an add on. I did see the version for sale but a series of
mixed responses on the sellers after sale support convinced me to wait.

If you developed and released this add on you would be doing a great deal of good
for the support community using vBulletin.

We used to run VBTT but I'm sure a lot of you have heard about the horror's of using it and the reputation of the author and we needed a new tracker.

I call it NuFreedom TorrentTracker aka NuTT although the name won't mean much to you unless you watch the Gundam SEED anime.

Basically, it's written almost completely from scratch although in some parts utilizing code from another quite advanced tracker.
Right now, while it does have the basic functions of a tracker, it is still incomplete with some key features still in the development queue like search functions, torrent editing, usergroup permissions. Not to mention how messy the code is right now :D

The key features included but not limited are:

passkey system - resolves all the problems you'd be getting with the pesky ip validation by adding the users unique passkey dynamically to the torrent when the user downloads it, doesn't modify the original torrent
complete integration with vB - uses the vB user table, ovbiously; shows user stats and current activities on the tracker in memberinfo; when uploading a torrent, creates a thread in the specified forum with the torrent details page showing last x comments from the thread
most extensive faq page - although many trackers have quite the similar FAQ, it covers virtually all problems one could have...
wait times - can be enabled or disabled; a time calculated by the user's upload/download ratio for which the user will have to wait before he can download a new torrent
multitude of settings - a large amount of settings that are set in the AdminCP under $vboptions so they can be used anywhere else also

Like I mentioned before, it's not complete at all however. The main goal was to get it up and running as fast as possible so a multitude of tweaks are still required and some of the pages are not to most good to look at either.

So now if you haven't fallen asleep yet from reading my mile long post, here is the demo:

Any and I mean all suggestions/ideas are welcome.

Any idea when or how this will be available? It looks fantastic.
