One-stop BT tracker client & server with support for HTTP, UDP and WebSocket
Core Features
- Dual client & server in one package
- Supports HTTP, UDP, and WebTorrent (WebSocket) tracker protocols
- Built-in web statistics dashboard at /stats
- Battle-tested by WebTorrent, peerflix, and playback
- IPv4/IPv6 support and scrape extension
What It Can't Do
- •UDP trackers require opening the configured port (default 6881) in firewall. 2. For high-load deployments, tune Node.js ulimit and event loop. 3. Private trackers must implement a filter function for access control.
Use Cases
- Host a private BitTorrent tracker server
- Integrate peer discovery into custom torrent clients or WebTorrent
- Monitor and report stats on P2P swarms
A comprehensive BitTorrent tracker implementation that includes both client and server components. It supports HTTP, UDP, and WebTorrent (WebSocket) tracker protocols, IPv4/IPv6, and the scrape extension. Used by popular torrent clients like WebTorrent and peerflix. Features a built-in web interface for tracker statistics at /stats and JSON at /stats.json. The client can connect to any tracker to discover peers, while the server can host your own tracker for private or public swarms. Perfect for building custom torrent clients, private trackers, or integrating P2P functionality into web applications.
