I'm a super mod at an anime forum where filesharing is quite an important aspect of the site so amongst other things we also run a bittorrent tracker there.
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
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: http://www.tokyo-nights.com/nutt
