XBT BitTorrent Tracker
XBT BitTorrent Tracker is a high-performance BitTorrent tracker software used to coordinate the transfer of torrent files across peers. It leverages efficient resource management to handle a large volume of connections and is popular among private BitTorrent communities and sites for its speed and scalability..
XBT BitTorrent Tracker is a C++-based BitTorrent tracker designed for exceptional performance and low resource utilization. It communicates with BitTorrent clients to maintain a list of peers sharing a particular file, facilitating efficient peer discovery and swarming. The tracker typically handles thousands of connections simultaneously, making it suitable for busy private torrent communities.
It relies on standard HTTP protocol interactions for announcing peers and scraping torrent statistics. XBT supports extensions such as gzip compression and offers optional MySQL integration to manage torrent and user data effectively. Its implementation aims for simplicity and speed, requiring minimal dependencies and offering a high level of configurability.
Port 2710 is commonly used as the listening port for HTTP-based tracker announcements. Unlike peer-to-peer data transfer, which uses both TCP and UDP protocols on dynamic ports, the tracker communication here primarily uses TCP, relying on standardized HTTP requests to manage the swarm membership information.
