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

Hey,

All went smoothly with the installation and setup (or so it seemed). However, torrents simply aren't working. I keep getting "Bad data from tracker" errors in BT when trying to seed. Is there something blatantly obvious I've missed here? :lick:

James - they have to be torrents you create yourself from your own tracker , and not a torrent you get from another site . the files have to be your own , as far as i know

[James Ballard]

Yeah, they are. I created torrents using the announce URL from my NuTT. Strange, but just my luck :P

k got a problem when doing the nutt_maintenance.php

Warning: mysql_connect() [function.mysql-connect]: Access denied for user: 'wwwrun@localhost' (Using password: NO) in .....
.
Warning: mysql_select_db() [function.mysql-select-db]: A link to the server could not be established in ...

sqrtboy's currently charging 80 euros for that, whereas afusion is offering this for free and with more features than you can find with VBTT

Sorry, I'm just pointing that out

Time for an update...

Life has been extremely busy and vB 3.5 RC3 is coming out soon so I've decided to move on to 3.5 with NuTT. It will be an almost completely new version with many new features and improvements like...

• AJAX editing
• A lot cleaner and nicer interface
• A big amount of configurability via the AdminCP including settings, usergroup permissions, category editing and more...
• A lot of stats about everything you want to know and more ranging from tracker activity, to torrent activity, to a connected peers browser; all with cool, flashy pie charts ^^
• and much more...

Now if I were to be talking about any release date, I'd be lying straight in your face so it will just be done when it's done. I know this though - it's after 3.5 goes Gold and before October ^^

oh my god what about 0.80 we were waiting it ? I'm not ready yet to move to 3.5 not this year so is it possible we get 0.80 or atleast 0.79
