This repository provides a robust, production-ready implementation of a BitTorrent tracker, including both client and server components. The client can announce to HTTP, UDP, and WebSocket trackers to discover peers in a swarm, while the server can track multiple swarms, respond to announce and scrape requests, and expose statistics via a web interface. The architecture is modular, with separate tracker protocol implementations (HTTP, UDP, WebSocket) inheriting from a common base class, and a server that manages swarms using an LRU cache for peer storage. The codebase is well-tested, uses modern ESM modules, and is actively maintained as part of the WebTorrent ecosystem. It is primarily a library for Node.js, but also supports browser usage via bundlers.
This repository provides a curated, automatically updated collection of public BitTorrent trackers. It contains plain-text lists of tracker URLs categorized by protocol (UDP, HTTP, HTTPS, WebSocket, I2P, Yggdrasil), as well as subsets for the 'best' trackers and IP-address-based lists to avoid DNS resolution issues. The data is generated by an external bot that checks tracker availability, removes duplicates and blacklisted entries, and sorts by popularity and latency. There is no application code in the repository itself; it serves as a data resource consumed by BitTorrent clients and third-party tools. The project is heavily star-favored and actively maintained with daily updates.
