OpenBitTorrent is a bittorrent tracker free for anyone to use. You don’t need to register, upload or index a torrent anywhere, all you have to do is to include the OpenBitTorrent tracker URL in your torrent.
This how to is show how I have set up the program Bittorrent to run as a tracker. There are three configuration files. The first file /etc/default/bt-tracker which is where the program variables are set. The second file /etc/init.d/bt-tracker.sh is to start and stop the program bttrack.bittorrent and the third file /etc/logrotate.d/bttrack that is the configuration file for logrotate, which looks after bttrack logs. All so I have added a system user named tracker to give more control and security.
This how to is show how I have set up the program bittornado to run as a headless Bittorrent seeder. There are two configuration files. /etc/init.d/bt-seeder.sh to start and stop the program bittornado.btlaunchmany and the file /etc/default/bt-seeder which is where the program variables are set . All so I have added a system user named seeder to give more control and security.
