Nu Torrent Tracker 0.74

Finally, my bittorrent tracker for vBulletin has reached a somewhat betaish level. Meaning, it functions but some things are still missing like AdminCP Category Editing and so on. But only a few. All needed things are there and it works well as I've been running it on my board for a month now.

I decided to write this thing after firsthand witnessing the problems with VBTT and what was first meant to be quite simple turned out into a full fledged tracker with features like commenting, rating, etc.

Note that this is a beta which means it has only been tested on one system AND I won't be responsible if you go blind from the messy code. But hey, it works! :nervous:


I don't have any screenshots but you are welcome to come and check out the live demo at: http://www.tokyo-nights.com/nutt
Heck, I'll even throw in a test user for ya:

user: kjustice
pass: useme

I'll prolly be updating the distro as I find and fix bugs. When the instructions say so or if you wish to, you can uninstall it by going to /forum/admincp/nutt_install.php?step=uninstall

0.74 - Made upload use vB's new thread function to fix the nasty apostrophe issue in 0.73
Changed:
upload.php

0.73 - Improved conditions for users the tracker reports as 'unconnectable'.
Changed:
announce.php

0.72 - Added a function to fix the navbar urls.
Changed:
functions.php
nutt_global.php

0.71 - Fixed a bug in details.php.
Changed:
details.php

I seriously doubt NuTT is the problem. How would I be running a tracker on my site with almost no problems usually averaging at 700 peers?

Actually, I recommend you to uninstall this hack.... and then make a clean install with the latest distro.

working fine for me, seeding with bittornado at home and azureus at work. 5 seeds and 14 leechers right now. I did a clean install yesterday to run the lastest version and besides errors on my part it has worked fine

I uninstalled and then re-installed using the latest files (re-uploaded to my server). I set the permissions to allow Admins and Mods to be able to connect to the tracker, and I uploaded a torrent. This morning I went to the tracker to see how it was doing, and I was taken to the login page, saying I did not have proper permissions to access the file. I went to the control panel and checked and Admins still have the ability to do anything on the tracker, however now I can't even log in to the torrent tracker via my forum! arrgh

Does this script automatically create a thread announcing a new torrent in a forum?

If so, a suggestion: in the forum where it makes the thread, can it post them in subforums? I.e. say you added a new torrent to the mp3 category, can there be a subforum in the downloads forum called mp3 which is where the thread is announced?

If that's not possible, at the very least, can the thread have the picture next to it in the forumdisplay (i.e. mp3, album, etc)?

I am having some of the same problems and have tried the same solutions with little success.

I just want to contribute so hopefully it will help towards a better hack for all.

I am testing this on vBulletin v3.0.3.

1. the image folder gets set to the wrong path
2. the upload template is missing category - which results in error for incomplete info
3. getting a you don't have permission error and promts for login when trying to run details.php
4. getting "Parse error: parse error, unexpected '{' in /xxxx/xxxx/public_html/xxxxxx/nutt/testvars.php on line 17" when trying to run testvars.php

It works on my server intermittently.. it works for some users, but not others. It still seems a bit finicky to me at this point.

Hmm. There's a JavaScript error on the actual torrent page... mucks up the "Rate" torrent bit.

Also, I can't seed. I upload the torrent, then download the torrent and load it up. My BT client gives this error:

Error: Bad Tracker Response Header: HTTP/1.1 404... in Tracker: http://www.siteurl.com/vbulltest/nutt/announce.php/59061d6947bc34e6eb8d35383e6e48d2/passkey

HTTP 404 error?
