I had a quick look at Torrent Trader Lite after your suggestion, and while it doesn't appear to depend on MySQL, it's still far from lightweight! It really requires you to build the web site around the tracker rather than adding a small tracker to a pre-existing site. I also had to do a lot of work to get it working under PHP5. I fixed some things by replacing "<?" with "<?php" but there were still some problems with rendering of pages. I don't know if the tracker part of it actually worked. To the OP, have you looked at BNBT in /usr/ports/net-p2p/bnbt ? It might be more along the lines of what you want. There doesn't seem to be much documentation supplied with the port though. Consequently I don't have it working yet. There does seem to be some useful info here though: http://bnbteasytracker.sourceforge.net/documentation.php Regards Andrew
