We have been looking at using opentracker, but it has been slow going, with us finding several bugs and needing to resolve those. Last I knew, extracting statistics from it was difficult and prone to crashing. If that's resolved now, we could use opentracker, but I haven't looked in a few weeks to know. -- Matt Domsch Technology Strategist, Dell Office of the CTO linux.dell.com & www.dell.com/linux ________________________________________ From: Bernhard Schmidt [berni@xxxxxxxxxxxxx] Sent: Saturday, February 13, 2010 9:17 AM To: admin@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx Subject: Additional IPv6 Bittorrent tracker Hi, as most of you probably know IPv6 is the upcoming successor of the current internet protocol IPv4. I have recently started to look into the Bittorrent over IPv6 situation (my summary is available at http://www.birkenwald.de/dokuwiki/doku.php?id=projects:ipv6-bittorrent ). Currently, while most Bittorrent clients are IPv6-capable most trackers are not. This makes it very hard to impossible for clients to find IPv6 peers on their own. The Bittorrent Multitracker extensions, which are implemented in almost any client known today (and still provide a full backup path for clients not implementing it) allow multiple trackers to be specified for a torrent. We have recently done this for the conference recordings of 26c3 (a big german hacker conference) and had good results. The same scheme is now in action for Ubuntu and Knoppix. The OpenOffice project gave positive feedback, but has not implemented it so far. Therefor I'd like to ask you to put an IPv6-only tracker into the Fedora torrents. If there is a need I would volunteer to run that (see the URL) and I also have a few very high-speed seeders (>= 1Gbps) on native v6 that can help out to seed. But as stated before, this would only be an additional tracker, not replacing the current one. Please tell me what you think about this.
