Private Tracker Software

[Captain-Spanky]

Does anyone know of any private torrent tracking software?

I checked out zzz's list of software but most of the eepsites to download the software aren't up.

(i haven't noticed the "private", haha)

(for the record: i've mentioned zzzot, which is an open tracker, not a private one)

Thanks Anikey and Igillis

I checked out the zzzot option but it doesn't have the private portion I'm looking for.

Are you looking more for private torrent index sites, like what.cd [rip] / Redacted / MAM? I can't see people wanting to use a private tracker (On I2P specifically) where they'd need to sign up and follow similar rules to how private trackers operate on the clearnet; I2P just doesn't have the numbers for something like that to work well. People will probably just stick with tracker2.postman.i2p and other easy to use trackers.

^ The above is an occasionally updated list of a few different projects if this is what you're looking for, like UNIT3D, TorrentPier etc. I do know some tracker-only projects (usually no web front-end) have features like what you'd want here, but they're uncommon as far as I know. (These are probably not a good idea to run on I2P who knows how they will behave, what exploits may exist, etc).

The way I understand it, there is nothing that prevents torrent clients from ignoring the private flag. You may want to keep that in mind.

Yes, I know the specification says the client must obey it. That doesn't mean that it necessarily does obey it. Although I suppose most probably do.

Edit : I just noticed that this thread is from 2024. Oh well.
