We need a tracker: 1) that only seeds torrents we tell it to, not anything else 2) is relatively lightweight 3) doesn't suck
Gentoo uses PHPBTTracker+ 2.1. Debian and Ubuntu use BitTornado. I took a brief look at both of these products this morning and was not impressed- they seem old and a bit out of date, underdeveloped, and just don't do things "right" in my humble opinion. PHPBTTracker has some crazy caching idea where they try to reinvent the wheel and appear to fail miserably. BitTornado looks more usable, although it hasn't been touched in some time and the codebase is not so clean.

So, is there anything wrong with linuxtracker.org ? It's not under our control but is that a problem?

For example, & for obvious reasons, hosting the alphas on linuxtracker isnt an option. Downloading anything from archlinux.org is slow. -- Greg
