CBTT - a C BitTorrent Tracker / News: Recent posts

After recent changes in the BNBT core, CBTT's latest version now supports listening for normal tracker traffic on multiple listen ports.

The next major build (due out at the end of Jan.) will include this feature.

This new feature is used in much the same way as the tagging system (bnbt_tagx) for adding additional listen ports (using portx instead just for clarity).

Issues with this new feature should be reported immediately if found.

This marks our first monthly build of CBTT after changing over to CVS.

Downloads for this build of CBTT can be found at http://cbtt.depthstrike.com or http://bnbtusermods.sf.net

Changes:
Changed: Windows TCP socket code to use Winsock2 instead of Winsock
Added: Seed/Peer counts to XML dump
Added: support for custom logfile identification method
Added: option to drop individual peer data from XML Dump
Changed: NAT IP checking values for compatibility with BNBT main core.
Fixed: bug in torrent return code that would generate invalid headers
Fixed: bug in scrape code that would prevent scrapes from returning accurate information with MySQL overriding DState.

Starting December 17, 2004, all source downloads for CBTT will primarily be available through the SourceForge CVS system.

This is a major change from the previous inclusion of the source file in the distribution archive.

The package we have uploaded to the CVS is the latest code for the BitTorrent tracker, including several fixes.

Fixes include:
1> Updated scrape code to handle issues with scrape while using MySQL for all database functions
2> Improved handling of TCP sockets under Windows.
