Re: torrent tracker/primary seed software

So, we're setting up the new torrent tracker and we're debating which tracker software to use. bittorrent: 5.2.0 - released in nov 2007 - it's the last open source version b/c apparently the authors got greedy and stupid. It's not painfully out of date, though and it would be relatively to setup and shift over to it. ctorrent: theoretically being maintained and theoretically capable of being a tracker. It doesn't seem to have any nice initscripts. And the configuration for additional trackers looks more convulted than might otherwise be desired. Welcome to suggestions on initscripts, etc rtorrent: not obvious this is a tracker at all. It looks more like an ncurses-based client. Subpar for our usage. In case anyone is unclear what our usage is. We use the torrent tracker/seed as a simple server. We drop files in a directory and they are available on the tracker. It logs what went where and lets us get data out of it about how many things have been downloaded and from where. Open to suggestions about better tracker software to use. Requirements: 1. must be free software 2. must log/record stats 3. must act sensibly
