Thread: How to Open a Tracker ??

Hey Guys....What needs to be done for Opening a Tracker....

is there any free software available for making a tracker...like "Simple Machines Forum" is for Forum...??

Can i Open it for free ?? i mean on the domains which are available for free on Internet ??

and if yes....who is giving BEST free domain...??

also is it legal to open trackers ?? to me it looks OK as people are sharing within themselfs and are not doing any business out of it...!!



and please add anything if i forgot to ask....and is necessary....!!

Thanks...

what you need:
...a couple of months of coding to better the source code and make the tracker look attractive
...money for domain registrations and seedboxes


what you should do:
...simply put, forget this idea!!!



it is legal to open trackers but it's illegal to share material which sharing rights you don't have.

She just told it. It requires time, awful a lot of money, coding experience and a decent host.

okay......but can you tell me in which language we need to program....??

and about legality.....I can definately say that people or better to say tracker owner don't have sharing rights to anything.....like...
Cracked Softwares
Movies
Teaching and Learning material
ebooks etc....


so how does all tracker working currently ??

Note : I am not against anyone......just want to know that why and how things happen...

Man it's just so many trackers out there that it's pointless making another one...

If you really want to make one you need:
- to decide what kind of tracker you will run.
- to have a lot of money for tracker server (free servers are crap).
- to found people who will help you run the tracker (tracker staff) the right people need to come together... you need to trust and know them.
- to found coders that know languages like PHP, SQL, JavaScript, Ajax, jQuery, CSS, Perl, Python, Java, C , C#... who will make tracker for you.
- to have a lot of free time...
- found uploaders for your tracker who will upload stuff for your tracker.
and so on...

What piss me off the most are n00bs making a tracker. Everyone wants to be the boss/tracker staff. You can see so many crap trackers with a few torrents and then closed after they lose interest and they see that it's just too much work and too much money for nothing.

Tracker software:
Project Gazelle :: Project Gazelle
TBDEV.NET - Community forum
TBsource PHP/MySql Bit-Torrent tracker | Download TBsource PHP/MySql Bit-Torrent tracker software for free at SourceForge.net

Thanks Sam8cd....and i really respect you.....

and you are very much correct regarding alot of new trackers....

BUT alot Great Things come up with Research and Development.....
just an example....there are alot of GREAT GRAPHIC CARDS out there but still MORE AMAZING AND WONDERFUL cards are being launched everyday....

as you described all the process....it looks like a bit difficult task for now....as i am an Engineering student currently....

I want to make a Tracker not just because of being BOSS...but i have some cool ideas....and thus i was thinking if it would be possible to give it a try....
BUT better for wait some time.....after i get a job...and have some money....i will look over it....



And Imagine sorry for talking like that....but everyone specially the new people like and wants to be encouraged with there idea....and specially with senior members like you....

Thanks guys for helping me out....

Sometimes abd or fault products come out too!

All the luck to you but with the questions you've asked in the OP it's going to take like a year just to get everything together.

Thanks Dude..!!

Also what might of interest to you is something like peertracker:

peertracker - Simple, Efficient and Fast BitTorrent Tracker - Google Project Hosting

This s just the tracker(just the part the torrent client talks to) not the rest of the site it doesn't handle uploads,users, ratios or any of that, so you can build the rest of the site using that as the simple tracker backend however you want.
