Nu Torrent Tracker 0.74 · **Released**: 06-06-2005

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:

Code:

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

hmm by the sound of it, it seems another lil bit got missing in the instructions...

you need to manually create a forum for NuTT torrent threads and then specify the forum id in NuTT Settings

I did that, and then put the link to the NUTT in the forum settings, so when people click on the forum link they will go to http://mysite.com/nutt As I said I am able to upload the torrent, etc. successfully, so the forum has been created. Now my members are telling me that they can download the bittorrent file, but it isn't connecting to the seeded file (and yes, I am seeding it with the new torrent as mentioned in the NUTT after you upload the file).

IS the TORRENT DIRECTORY supposed to have a trailing slash or not (in the NUTT settings). I see that it says to not add one to the NUTT URL, but not sure if the TORRENT DIRECTORY is supposed to have one. how about the NuTT's root directory?

None of the urls or dirs should have a trailing slash...

Now, just to avoid confusion download the attached testvars.php, upload it to /nutt, run it and send me the output.

Okee Dokey.. will do.

The problem with the forum commenting I had was that I had the forum set as a link instead of a forum, so people couldn't leave a comment... I changed it to a forum and all is well as far as that goes, but guests still are having a problem connecting to the seed... I am sure it is an end-user error (on my part) and we will get it straightened out

^ Although the connectability check should check if the user is blocked by a router/proxy, it might report things incorrectly if fsockopen() is disabled on the server or has limitations.

I didn't upgrade to the new version yet, but it started working for some reason.. I will upgrade anyway and will let you know how it goes

Thanks much! Awesome hack! Much requested and much needed! thanks again!

Outdoor · #59 06-08-2005, 08:46 PM

are all the files upgraded in the later versions or just the ones you state?

do you want the support questions over on your board?

afusion · #60 06-08-2005, 08:52 PM

All the files have are most up to date in the zip. The changes listed are the files I change in every release so for example compared to 0.70, 0.72 has details.php, functions.php and nutt_global.php changed.

where ever you feel more comfortable ^^

It is not a VB3 engine, just a parsed copy!
