Quick PHP Code Tips and Examples

Opentracker is the most simple php bittorrent tracker that I came across. It only requires a single MySQL table to function and it is a fully compliant bittorrent tracker as outlined by Bram Cohen.

I've included Opentracker in this blog because of its simplicity that made it easy to be use as a reference implementation for your own home-brew tracker.

Important Notice Due remember that MySQL based bittorrent trackers are known to use many connections at the same time, and may cause your database server to choke in a shared hosting environment. You've been warned!
