Care to take a look at post #6? ;)

And when it will be possible
To test or add a code

I'd love to use this; especially if you can limit certain torrents to certain groups.

If and when you need testers, just tell me - I have a feeling if I added something like this to my forum, I'd get several hundred downloads in the first few hours :rolleyes:


Mind my asking how closely you follow the protocol, if you enforce / have the option to enforce certain rules, and if you keep track of all the user's data (Downloaded, uploaded, seeded, leeching, etc.)?

Thanks, I'll keep that in mind...

If by protocol you mean the BT protocol, then it's 100% compliant...
For rules I have the wait time system based on the user's ratio and soon I'm going to add usergroup permissions also (haven't worked on ug perms at all to be honest).

Right now it keeps track of the amounts user has downloaded/uploaded and lists any current seeding/leeching activity tracker. Soon I'm also gonna have it remember all torrents a user has completely downloaded.

If you need help with usergroup permissions, feel free to contact me, I can help with my best cuz I want this hack too.

if you use YIM by any chance, mine is deathemperor2nd

If you need someone to help test it I'd be willing to help out.

I run a website that I want to help local djs distribute their mixes via torrents and since it's non-profit I haven't been willing to pay out any cash. Reading the horror stories people have had with some of the other choices to do this I'm glad I've held out.

My board has been up for quite awhile so my two year license has run out so I'm still running 3.0.1. Maybe I'll upgrade one day but like I said, I'm willing to be a test-server.

Thanks afusion for starting something like this, I'm sure it'll become a must-have hack for all vbulletin users!

I'm also interested in this. Running vB3.0.7 and looking for a vB BitTorrent tracker. It'll help with downloads rather than using YouSendIt and Rapidshare (wrestling multimedia).

If you need another tester...

cool, addition mate, i could help but notice but are you converting it over from tbsource? as i am also doing a vbulletin intergration tho i wasnt sure about releasing it, didnt think demand was high enough, if you want help (which by looks of it you dont need :)) jsut send me a wee pm

Flame

you never know if the demand is high until you release it. not every users look at this discussion forum, they will just join in hacks threads, looking for new releases, search hacks, etc. but if you got 10 ppl want that hack here, that's pretty enough isn't it ?

I have a few questions about the development so far.

How are files going to be stored (database or files)? Will it stress the server's SQL? Server loads?
