Open bittorrent tracker

Usage

opentracker [-i ip] [-p port] [-P port] [-r redirect] [-d dir] [-u user] [-A ip] [-f config] [-s livesyncport] [-w whitelistfile]

Overview

This tracker is open in a sense that everyone announcing a torrent is welcome to do so and will be informed about anyone else announcing the same torrent. Only source IPs are accepted. The tracker implements a minimal set of essential features only but was able respond to far more than 10000 requests per second on a Sun Fire 2200 M2 (that's where we found no more clients able to fire more of our testsuite.sh script).
