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.

Ok now I don't know about your friend but bittornado is plain dag nasty evil. Banned from most trackers since it has no idea what "correct stats" even means.

Abou the navbar though, that isn't because of the new upload.php but try this functions.php

OK- I will change clients (never had a problem with it before) and will give the new functions.php file a go

as far as the layout goes it all is fine, except it would be nice to have the download link at the top of the torrent page, or more prominent so it is easier to find

when I try to install the tracker it is taked long time to create the table & altering it so reinstall the tracker but i get error message sadi that tables & coulumns already in database , Also tried to use step=6 so I can uninstall the tracker but I did'nt see any uninstall button there so how I can uninstall the tracker to reinstall it correctly or is there anyway to complete the missing steps manually coz I still not able to see ( Nutt ) inside the admin panle & the main page of nutt give me this message

Fatal error: Cannot increment/decrement overloaded objects nor string offsets in /home/httpd/vhosts/httpdocs/nutt/index.php on line 49

Not sure about the error but you can uninstall via /forum/admincp/nutt_install.php?step=uninstall as stated in the description post.

is there anyway to unblock the blocked ports? bittorrent is a popular client, but the hack FAQ says that certain ports are being blocked when people are attempting to connect to the tracker to seed. So far I have only had one successful download among all of the people who tried to connect, and they were able to connect at around 40 kbs - most of them are getting a login error when attempting to click on the torrent names, and other are getting no connection or 0 kbs

SUGG: make a new setting about ports to keep opened, as many private trackers use some strange ports to share their files...

[afusion]

although it's for their own good to use alternate ports, will do so soon...

OT: woot, I'm in the coder club

now to more serious issues... here is the current planned list of things for future versions:

• External torrents
• Torrent reuploading
• Improved browsing (option persistency)
• Detailed user stats (including torrent history)
• AdminCP Category Editor
• AJAX Torrent Editing

After I get these done, I probably won't work on NuTT atleast until autumn because I've long had a huge project for my board planned and just waiting for vB 3.5. Since it's out, I can start the project and it will definitely take months. So I'll add these features, make NuTT as bugfree as possible and stop for a good few months. And for anyone wondering what more besides that is there to do anyway: ALOT! There's always room for improvement and I've got some nice things planned for when ever I continue the work on it.
Man, this is a long post...

How come after installing I don't see Nutt options in Forums AdminCP?

[afusion]

You mean under vBulletin Options?
