Basically I've slaped both the functionalities of a regular Bittorrent Tracker and a ZeroNet Tracker into one server and made it easily usable
Node.js implementation of a ZeroNet Tracker (which is a BitTorrent tracker that has support for the ZeroProtocol and .onion addresses)
A ZeroNet tracker is a web service which responds to requests from ZeroNet clients. The requests include metrics from clients that help the tracker keep overall statistics about the torrent. The response includes a peer list that helps the client participate in the torrent swarm.
This module is used by ZeroNetJS.
- Includes client & server implementations
- Supports all mainstream tracker types:
- HTTP trackers
- UDP trackers (BEP 15)
- WebTorrent trackers (BEP forthcoming)
- Zero trackers (No spec, just code)
- Supports ipv4 & ipv6 & onion
- Supports tracker "scrape" extension
- Robust and well-tested
- Comprehensive test suite (runs entirely offline, so it's reliable)
- Tracker statistics available via web interface at
/statsor JSON data at/stats.json
