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

very cool- thanks for sharing- I will try installing it later and will let you know how it went.

I just tried logging in to your site, and all I get is a "document not found" error message after I enter the supplied user and pass

Umm yea, about that... I'm kinda lazy fixing templates right now so you'll have to login via the main forum :P

that worked - thanks alot, but where are the install files? (or are you still working on them?)

[Outdoor]

I will be installing this today, thanks a lot

This looks great. I'm going to install it on my test site. I'll let you know how it goes.

noticed some last minute bugs with it... gonna fix it and reup it in a few minutes...

EDIT: I'm deeply sorry for any problems you had. Dumb me forgot to mention the file edits in the readme and some bugs were in too. This zip should work. Atleast, I hope it does :nervous:

... kinda cool to see a real torrent tracker here...

but as you talk about VBTT, what's the difference with it ?! i see that the files structure and protocol is completely different, but what is the difference between your tracker and the usual trackers we see about everywhere (BNBT, TT ...) ?!

[afusion]

Well I haven't had much experience with BNBT (since it's in C++) or any of those but what I consider to be NuTT's biggest strength is it's complete integration with vBulletin. Not yet complete but deeper than other trackers.

yea this is agreat idea....

also a good way to get your site removed and yourself sued
