OpenBitTorrent - An open tracker project

[realityhd]

I think that we will see a trend towards projects like that at the same time you see traditional private torrent sites go to the fringe or even try and go underground.

I want to test out this this project.

this could be interesting if the source code would be available.
whoever gets their hands on it will have the next gen sharing upper hand.

edit: just found it at another thread. ignore.

now, this seems yummy. will take a look into it.

I don't get all the excitement... the code's been available since 2004.

It should mentioned that this appears to be connected to one of the co-founders of The Pirate Bay, Fredrik Neij (TiAMO).

it's literally TPB with different name.

both TPB and OBT are owned by Neil, hosted from same ip, and torrentz too.

This thread was created not because an open tracker is a completely new thing, but for various other reasons. One obvious reason is the people who are behind the creation of this tracker (OBT)

If there were far more trackers like this, it would obviously be a bit more difficult for copyright organizations to have content removed. On the main OBT page one can clearly see the statements about how content cannot be controlled nor monitored. There are many interesting possibilities with a tracker like this.

Hello. I just joined to reply to this topic as it is interesting. I saw a site just lately, dunnsearch.org, It seems to be just like this but seems to improve on it with multiple tracker url's. has the same text at homepage do. just thought i should point out other websites are doing this aswell.
