I am doing a project at University and i'm in the stage of scaling and working out what is feasible.

How simple is it to implement a bittorrent tracker on my website. All I want it to do is track downloads, ratios, uploads etc... simple stuff. The only other option is to use a 3rd party tracker, but i'd rather have control myself.

I believe I saw some tracker software in PHP called TBSource, anyone know about this?

It's easy. You can do it in pure PHP and MySQL, since BT clients connect to trackers via HTTP.

Look for a simple BT tracker in PHP and see how they implemented it. You probably don't want some massive project because it'll just be a headache reading.

Hmm, OK, I found some PHP coded stuff. Looks quite complex, but using their instructions I should be able to work it. However, can't work out the difference between Btit V1.0 and Xbtit V2.0

I fear I may have issues as my database server and webserver are separate and it cant pull the necessary database files :/

Your database server probably restricts access to local only. You need to allow remote machines to connect.

Next time, use more specific terms instead of "database server".

I mean, the MySQL database is on a separate server to where my website is hosted. My University locks down the files so i'll need to ask for permission to access them :/
