| The Tracker We all need a program that when installed makes your computer the tracker, That id would be one tracker url for all bittorrents, You load the program you load the tracker and we all have the same. You make a bittorent and use the same url as everyone. That way torrents can be posted anywhere, You don't have to be a member of a site to get the torrents, Every computer that has the file tracks it, Theres no central server, Put that on the net and the Music and Movie industry will no longer be able to sue or prosecute anyone. |
| With the current CVS of Azureus you can use DHT to recieve seed/peer info. By default it will only track via DHT if the original tracker is down, but you can also create DHT-Only torrent files that don't use a central tracker at all. The problem is that some private sites need to have this feature turned off for their torrents in order for the site to remain private. The next official release of Azureus will be very nice for public torrents that share the same hash. There will be an optional flag set in the torrent file that will disable DHT tracking for that particular torrent. I know .torrent files are easily edited, but at least it will take a modification to the torrent to leak private seeds/peers to the DHT network. BitComet has been banned from some private sites because it will share seed/peer info by default even when the original tracker is up, with no way to disable it. It is very interesting to watch the BT Client devs adapt to the changing environment. |
