[quote=rvt;2494995]I got bored today so I created some public tracker code that can run on most free web space.

One of the best one liner of all time

Gonna start working on a new version, so anything you want adding just let me know.

I'm likely going to drop the mysql requirements completely, throw in a setting to either be black or white listing (bans or allows), add a setting to allow tracking of torrents that aren't uploaded simply by announcing to the tracker, and maybe build a multi tracker address adding service (upload the torrent, get it back with a list of multiple trackers embedded).

Just whack a forum source (fscV2 forums would be a nice addition) into it, add a little drop of user authentication and, bingo, you have the makings of a community tracker.

A lot of people don't realise that communities are actually two pieces sewn together. The tracker backend, which is usually self sufficient, connected to the membership frontend (including forums, userdetails, upload and browse facility).

Creating a site isn't rocket science. It just requires a level of ingenuity only found in a handful of volunteers (I know several professionals who could knock up a torrent community from scratch, but they also charge outrageous prices to do so).

The idea now would be for someone to take rvt's source and add forums and browse capability to it (then market it as their own, if their name is Xam).

/me thinks TheFox can probably do it in 10 minutes..

Oh, and rvt, thank you very much for your effort. I'll be sure to download and check it out during the weekend.
