I just set up my very first BitTorrent tracker started a couple of downloaders. It took maybe 30 minutes. Nice work, BitTorrent team! To run a tracker you have to check out the BitTorrent source code from CVS. Instructions are here. The modulename is “BitTorrent”, with caps as indicated and without the double-quotes. The source code is written in Python, so you can run a tracker on lots of platforms. Wow, this is fun.
