--uZ3hkaAS1mZxFaxD Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii Content-Disposition: inline Content-Transfer-Encoding: quoted-printable Hello, I'm currently trying to setup a bittorrent tracker to distribute files, such as patches, to users when they're stuck behind our captive portal. My experience over the last several weeks is that the software is flaky, the documentation is poor, and no projects are being actively maintained (or at least, projects in the FreeBSD ports tree).=20 I'm getting the feeling that you need to be a member of an elite, invitation-only group that performs heavy customizations every time a tracker is installed. I found net-p2p/bnbt and I thought it was the way to go. I somehow managed to get it setup in the dev environment, load some torrents to be tracked, and away we went. When I tried to reproduce this success in our testing environment, I failed miserably. I can no longer figure out what I did to get bnbt to load the torrents (apparently it was more complicated than just dropping them off in the allowed_dir). I discovered from a ktrace that bnbt is indeed scanning my allowed_dir on startup and periodically after that, but it won't list the torrents in the web interface, and it tells clients "requested download is not authorized for use with this tracker". I'm hoping to find somebody who's successfully running bnbt for some pointers. If nothing else, I'd love to get in touch with the operators of torrents.freebsd.org to find out what they're doing. Thanks for any help, --=20 Chris Cowart Network Technical Lead Network & Infrastructure Services, RSSP-IT UC Berkeley --uZ3hkaAS1mZxFaxD Content-Type: application/pgp-signature Content-Disposition: inline -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v2.0.10 (FreeBSD) iQIcBAEBAwAGBQJKRQ3AAAoJEIGh6j3cHUNPCLsP/RYu8xvFJ4FuP3+XybHeKCom kqKIk2nGI5RCtkRn0CdHyVxXOqfjWCwE41+pd7icuYPn2HA0U4fUlp5ASAcM+3g3 EwecLNnxq+0t2CYgvVblaVR4FankSsE2UGyKvNs2qSAoSSwYfNoyjQBzcpJhT5bq 7jSXY7c7QClQD5WxbytYtFOjga+DzzAaPA0cOL5oPdUQnUiQanWMoOWx66JKVviB B91M53Ka8F8DXNTBPYvAYAXGEC/0SuZdc1rkxUUP00NFpCKzd9j0E5WqEK2Q+Tp9 HJB1G9iPUHRajcxy4vvP03rlEJzySbtRKGZNybjcxahaItoez/ZJyqG9RamXbOPN xIGdih3QmlhVhzG4rL3zGiv/1A3+XLFayE2vVt8RgaBXRiz7W/U7P0hiQT42Ybvz mM+PDSIzZl8WlMJ6uZ7LWlV1Um/YR5/r2bB+9iUB9wffm56J3KtawTvzJ9Fe07z6 vggQcpv+O0+1p/DpC8/khIZk6NJT27FY3ojh1mTUVeyS9T3xKQ2+oUaBd81HTuS4 LkpWRYOfzLix0oBRZ6aDLkVLRB3VhMsh2x7OGRaO5hx3FRxGilzSSgJz7ck8ms1N tq4tsRHhsZAkgazDDsYKRMqGgTaYgJaqHE4FfXME+HpQPRTsBUZZYIsMpny1rKT1 gIRHGD+cHwKysRWmqYZo =+S2N -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- --uZ3hkaAS1mZxFaxD--
