yes but i found the version they released in may 2004

also found this tracker.. http://powrhost.com/xbits/index.php

is that one better?

we should have a poll for the best tracker to use i like torrentbits and xbits because they both are like portals and not like bnbt who just list torrent files and is really plain...

anywayz... check out the list of php based trackers... http://www.filesoup.com/forum/index.php?showtopic=6780

xbits is a mod of the latest released version of the torrentbits source code. (note snapshots of torrentbits were last released about 2 or 3 months ago). xbits was origionally designed as a fround end to the xbtt tracker.

if you plan to run a php tracker like torrentbits, xbits etc MAKESURE you have a powerfull server. php trackers are well known for using HIGH cpu.

thats y i earlier suggested a c++ tracker like xbtt or BNBT. they many many thousand times more efficinet (cpu wise) than the php ones. however xbits was designed as a frount end for xbtt so you can use xbit with xbtt while still getting the benifites of low cpu usage that a c++ tracker brings.

btw i know what im talking about. i currently have a bnbt tracker with 20&#39;000 peers on a dedicated server using less than 1% cpu but when i tried out various php versions with half the number of peers the cpu usage shot upto 50-60%

Whats the uber ghey catch?

[rf9rider]

Im totally in favour of this as BT is all i use nowadays.

[beeman]

well the ONLY catch to running a c++ tracker Candy King is that you will need some kind of shell access to the server to run it. other than that theres no catch.
