XBT Tracker documentation

With the permission of Olaf, I've created some XBT Tracker documentation pages on my site. I hope that they will help some people who usually come and ask the same questions about it

The site link is http://www.visigod.com/xbt-tracker/xbt-tracker

Nice to do the XBTT documentation.

You forgot to mention that the trackers need to have different ports. You can configure that in xbt_tracker.conf or in xbt_config table.

Another XBTT Tip (Credits Jaggi) -
As the running of the tracker increases the data in xbt_files_users increases running into 10000s of unwanted data. You can prune out the unwanted data by running a cron to remove the records of users who are inactive. For more info check out IPBTracker's cron file.

Thanks major9. I've added (and credited) both comments

Very nice Visigod,

Looking forward to playing with your Joomla component.

hey guys great documentation, much overdue so its nice to finally get something up and running about this. Also thanks for the credits, much appreciated, also if you want to use the cron script to make a standalone version or integrate it anyway into something then feel free to.

Bummer this just isn't my day -

I agree that any kinda documentation for Olaf's tracker (xbtt) was much overdue, but why was it removed ? or is it just me ? I'm sure it would made an interesting read.

Edit added below -

K it wasn't me - the links are just outdated -

XBT Tracker - Main page

XBT Tracker Installation

Configuration Options

General FAQ's and t


the pages seem a bit cut off tho.



Otherwise the effort was a grand one, I look forward to reading all of it.. thank you for all of your efforts everyone

Sorry for this problem. I'm rebuilding the site links. I will update the post when I'm done, but during this time (xmas and new year) it's always complicated

For sure nice documentation here mate, very usefull for a noob like me.

I have a question though, not sure if this is the right place to ask it. I recently installed XBT on my server and I use XBTIT (xbtit 2.0.0.559) as frontend. It took me a while to get it running but it does now, although not in the way that I want.

The tracker is working perfectly when either using the passkey in the announce OR not using the passkey at all (I have to check/uncheck something in the xbtit acp here).
What I like to achieve is that both torrents with AND without passkey are working at the same time and I have no clue how to do it.

Any suggestions are more than welcome here ...

If you put anonymous as on then torrents with passkey will record the ul/dl amount of the passkey else it will be a public one.

Where exactly do I have to search for this "anonymous" thing ?

When I look into my tracker stats (http://www.myforum.com:2710/stats), I can see (1) anonymous connect (2) anonymous announce and (3) anonymous scrape. I suppose it's one of these settings I have to take care off. Don't know where to find it though ...

If you put xbt_config table in the xbt database then you'll find these in that table. Else put it in the xbt config file.
