WAIX Trackers

[Alco23]

For the general gist of it though, you would add in a network tag (just like the source tag) in the info part of the torrent during upload, with a value of PIPE or WAIX. That gives each torrent a seperate hash while having the same files, so you can have them all on the same tracker.

Then you need to store a field in the DB so you can tell if it's limited to a certain network when you pull the torrent details for announce.
If it is, you check the users IP against the IP list for that network. No match means no download.


Finally, someone on the network will need to download the non-network torrent to get the files, then seed the files with the network torrent, or the initial seeder should run all 3 at once. If you want to do it with the initial seeder, you'll need to allow them to bypass the IP check. Just check if their user ID is the torrent owner for that.

That's pretty much how these PIPE trackers work . The user sets in their profile which network they're part of. Subsequently, any downloads the user makes from any particular torrent, they download from users of the same network. Uploads also work in a similar fashion, so that the network is indicated. Of course there is an option to download from all peers and just take whatever quote hit you might get.

hmm, i think i may have been on this tracker, does it start with an "f" im on pipe aswell, but the data usage counts on my current isp, so its pretty much useless for me though
