NAME
bttrack — bittorrent tracker
SYNOPSIS
bttrack [options ...] --dfile file
DESCRIPTION
This manual page documents briefly the bttrack command. This manual page was written for the Debian distribution because the original program does not have a manual page. bttrack is a "tracker" for bittorrent clients. This program keeps track of the completion of each client, and communicates that information when requested to other clients. There is one required option, --dfile, which specifies what file to store the recent downloader information.
OPTIONS

A summary of options is included below. --dfile file the file to store the recent downloader information (required) --port port the port to listen on (defaults to 80) --bind ip|hostname[,ip|hostname ...] a comma-separated list of ips and hostnames to bind to locally (defaults to '') --ipv6_enabled 0|1 whether to allow the tracker to connect to peers via IPv6 (defaults to 0) --ipv6_binds_v4 0|1 whether an IPv6 server socket will also field IPv4 connections (defaults to 0) --socket_timeout seconds then number of seconds to use as a timeout for closing connections (defaults to 15) --save_dfile_interval seconds the number of seconds between saving the dfile (defaults to 300) --timeout_downloaders_interval seconds the number of seconds between expiring downloaders (defaults to 2700) --reannounce_interval seconds the number of seconds downloaders should wait between reannouncements (defaults to 1800) --response_size num the num of peers to send in an info message (defaults to 50) --timeout_check_interval seconds the number of seconds to wait between checking if any connections have timed out (defaults to 5) --nat_check num check num times if a downloader is behind a NAT (0 = don't check) (defaults to 3) --log_nat_checks 0|1 whether to add entries to the log for nat-check results (defaults to 0) --min_time_between_log_flushes seconds the minimum number of seconds it must have been since the last flush to do another one (defaults to 3.0) --min_time_between_cache_refreshes seconds the minimum number of seconds before a cache is considered stale and is flushed (defaults to 600.0) --allowed_dir directory only allow downloads for torrents in this directory (defaults to '') --allowed_list file only allow downloads for hashes in this file (hex format, one per line), cannot be used with allowed_dir (defaults to '') --allowed_controls 0|1 whether to allow special keys in torrents in the allowed_dir to affect tracker access (defaults to 0) --multitracker_enabled 0|1 whether to enable multitracker operation (defaults to 0) --multitracker_allowed autodetect|none|all whether to allow incoming tracker announces (can be none, autodetect or all) (defaults to 'autodetect') --multitracker_reannounce_interval seconds number of seconds between outgoing tracker announces (defaults to 120) --multitracker_maxpeers num the num of peers to get in a tracker announce (defaults to 20) --aggregate_forward url[,password] if set, forwards all non-multitracker to this url with this optional password (defaults to '') --aggregator 0|1|password whether to act as a data aggregator rather than a tracker.
