the
pirate bay is without a doubt the most popular bittorrent tracker. unfortunately
their current tracker system is not performing as it used to and has reached its
effective limit. the tpb team is currently working on a more efficient open
source tracker system that, among other things, will guarantee better protection
against anti-piracy outfits.
the pirate bay is developing a new bittorrent trackersome of you might have
noticed that the pirate bay trackers were down for a couple of hours today. the
reason for the downtime is not related to an anti-piracy organization this time,
on the contrary. tpb has moved its servers to a new datacenter and added some
extra servers to their already pretty impressive server lineup. the tracker
currently runs on 12 servers, and 4 brand new ones will be added later today.
adding new servers is not the only reason for the move of course. the new
datacenter has better routers which handle their requirements better. it allows
tpb to install better protection against ddos attacks and nullrouting the
spam-nets from anti-piracy organizations.
however, a complete overhaul of the current tracker system is needed to ensure
the future effectiveness of the tracker and to ensure protection against
spammers and fake torrents. according to the tracker design page, this new
tracker will be capable of blocking and/or logging known p2p vandals such as
mediadefender, baytsp, mediasentry and ez2net. the new tracker will ensure the
privacy of its users and is designed to be as efficient as possible, meaning
more peers with less bandwidth.
tiamo, one of the developers of the new tracker system told torrentfreak that
they are still looking for skilled coders who want to join the open source
project and help the bittorrent community. if you think you are the guy, let him
know. the current source code can be downloaded over at -

sounds like a good move. 🙂
