Testing vBulletin Tracker system
 

Hopefully falkon2's indomitable spirit will see our first torrent through:

(NOTE: RESET YOUR PASSKEY FIRST BEFORE DOWNLOADING)

Pop'n Music 14 FEVER test
 

Gears of War: The Soundtrack (FLAC)
 

Let's give a shot. If it doesn't work, I blame my ISP and will switch. =o

Let's see if I'm doing this right =x.

edit:
I can't tell if it's working or not, I'll try again later.

I don't see the torrent link in the navbar. Is this usergroup based?

This thread needs more Soul:

/test

Anything you don't want guests to see is most likely usergroup-based. Anyway, I don't see it either so us grumpy ex-mods are SOL.

I see it, and it works! :33333 Blah

Die Hard Original Motion Picture Soundtrack (FLAC)
 

EDIT: Apparently you have to enter the name of the torrent in the title of your post in order for it to show up on this page.

Also, Blah fucking rules. <3

Intense props Blah, this shit is awesome. Really digging the stats page. I can see this growing into a very resourceful, er, resource.

America Fuck Yeah
 

Giving this a try.

Do we have to register for this tracker?

Yes, you 'register' by resetting your passkey.

SS, torrent link should show up for you now.

Pretty nifty. *randomly gets sued a month later*

Awesome, Blah. Thanks a shitload for putting this up.

The only thing is we'll eventually need to find a way to organize these, and possibly have a small subforum for uploading them, or something. I have plenty of ideas, but I don't know how feasible they are with this hack. If you give enough of a shit that you want me to list them, just say so.

(I'm in no way ungrateful, I'm just making suggestions. Fucking A+ shit as it stands already.)

Sure, lay them all out. I've got another day or two to implement them before I go on holiday.

Sorry, this is massive. I apologize in advance for sounding demanding, though that's not what I'm trying to do.

• Heavier stat tracking. On each member, if possible. Perhaps have the stats display in the user profile, or, preferablly, have a seperate user page for each member that lists things like ratio, uploaded/downloaded totals, and a list of torrents they're either seeding or uploaded. Things of that nature.
  
• Access to these stats from some simple common area. Perhaps on the username drop down list? Perhaps in the post bit, underneath level, it'll say something like "ratio: x.yz", and it's clickable to take you to said page.
  
• Torrent organization. A way to categorize your torrent, and likewise, a way to browse by these categories. "FLAC", "MP3", "Other Lossy", "Video", and the like.
  
• Individual torrent description pages. Something when uploading the torrent that you can add that says whatever you want it to say. A title is sometimes not descriptive enough. Someone could upload something as Bokujou Monogatari Gameboy Original Sound Collection, and your average asshat will probably not know that's a Harvest Moon soundtrack. It'll also allow for people to mention how something was ripped, or perhaps give an extraction log. (I really liked this feature in GFTracker, the ability to attach logs to the description pages. Made checking for proper rips easier.)
  
• Continuing from there, I like the little catagories in the attachment window, who's doing what for the torrent currently and so forth. Sexy times are had by all there. Very nice. Perhaps a central area for seeing these stats on afformentioned description pages?
  
• Comments, on said description pages. Someone could say "You got XYZ incorrect" or something, like if the uploader typo'd something or got the tracklist wrong or whatnot.
  
• Perhaps a way to automatically obtain passkeys for those who don't have them. Perhaps if someone doesn't already have one, on their next login, they automatically recieve one. Dunno if that's possible or not due to not having any knowledge of how this is integrated with vB.
  
• Torrent browsing, not just by category, like above, but the orphaned/all/top/latest is nice, but perhaps things like "show only seeded torrents", and such could be added there. Alternatively, when in the actual list of torrents in whatever catagory/filter, clickable headers that organize by date/seeders/leechers/speed/whateverthefuck.
  
• A place to keep torrent threads, perhaps a My Stuff subforum?

That's all I got for now. I'll think of something else, I'm sure. Question, though. I guess administration can be done by any mod who deletes an attachment, eh? "This torrent is actually a gig of pictures of poop" or something ends up happening and someone can just nuke it or recatagorize it if we end up allowing for a "lulz" category or whatever. That sort of thing could be a problem, so it should be doable like that, right? If so, an ability to warn mods for torrent faggotry or something would be spiffy. Or we'll just use the existing warning system. Whatever.

Edit: Also, ratio for pure uploads should be read as infinite, not the same ratio as the previous seeder on the list. (See my and Tails ratios being reported as the same as Ben's and yours, above on the Gears torrent.)

These are actually default features, but I've temporarily disabled them while I pretty it up. I'll turn them back on soon.

I suppose adding a tag field will take care of that.


We could have a link to a central torrent description page, yes, but I feel comments can be posted in the torrent thread itself. Maybe the central torrent description page will have a "thread review" style listing of the replies in the thread.

As for logs, you can attach them together with the .torrent file. I'll check to see if it needs to be added to the recognized filetype list.

Yeah, I'll put in something for this. The software is supposed to generate passkeys for everyone upon installation but I removed that bit since we have like thousands of people here and I didn't want PHP to time out.

This will take a while, I guess.

We'll probably allocate somewhere in the My Stuff forum for torrents (or maybe use a thread tag). Also, torrent moderation is a matter of deleting the attachment, yes.

I'll try to fix that seeder ratio bug.

Okey doke. I'll wait to see what you've got cookin' before commenting further.

One more bug, though. On the general stats page that is up there currently, the fastest/slowest torrent lists are TEH BROKAN. Gears is on fastest torrent three times, hatepissannoy on slowest 4 times.

I'm loving the fact that this was added, but will our server be able to support it? There's no chance of another financial fiasco, is there?

I hate to rain on the parade, but I've found it's best to err on the side of caution with Gamingforce. =D

Ohhhh, the over 9000 ratio is AWESOME.

I'm getting an ascii boner just thinking about it. <3

Okay Weeaboos, most popular thing on my tracker by far.

It's very unlikely, since all the server is doing is hosting the torrent files (which could be hosted anywhere,) and just acting as the tracker, which tells your BitTorrent client who is connected, so you can connect to them.

Basically, very low bandwidth stuff.

Basically, could have just read how BitTorrent trackers work to get the answer yourself.

Hmm. I think this is a really great idea, but I guess it'll depend a lot on the amount of users who take up this service.

EDIT: I seem to get some passkey error? I did the whole reset passkey thing though. Any idea as to what I'm doing wrong?

The passkey error is: Failure: vBTT v3.0: This is not YOUR passkey!！！
