It's ashame that more torrent mods are not getting more attention, they're definitely needed even if for only very small communities.

Hopefully Niko will have the time to finish it someday. It is my understanding that he is busy with more pressing projects, so I understand the delay here. As I said before, it has a great potential for future use. I do not have a need for it in a production site myself, but if it is ever finished, I may give it another go.  :)

You may need to read this first if you do not know what a bittorrent tracker is.

I know what a bittorrent tracker does besides I'm a SysOP for a couple of private torrent sites myself. LoL
Let me re-phrase my question: What exactly does this MOD do?

Hi,

I've installed this mod, and I can upload torrents and it kind of works... but only admin can download the torrents, I've tried to search on user permissions and I couldnt see anything that enables normal user download.

Everytime a user clicks on torrent, says_
You are not allowed to download from tracker

What should I do?
Thanks

My apologies.  :)  It gives a very basic tracker function to the forum. It uses the SMF permission system to allow/ disallow user groups access to the tracker and to upload torrents. Torrents are uploaded via a post using the attachment function. It keeps basic stats on the uploader, the seeders/leeches of a torrent and also ratio. It also has the ability to use a passkey. It is very basic and it does work, but it doesn't yet have the ability to set up torrent categories, etc. If you are curious about it's functions, do as I did and set up a fresh smf install in a subdomain and then installed this mod to play with. I gave access to a couple of friends and we uploaded and tested it out.

Assuming it installed correctly, there is a permission setting for each usergroup that gives access to the tracker to upload and download. I did notice that when I tested it out several months ago, that it worked when I activated a passkey, but without the passkey activated, other users often got an error upon attempting to download. Maybe someone else that is still using it can give more insight as well. I tried it and after a month or so, I deleted the entire test forum that I was using.

Funny I've tried this many times and utorrent still says 0 seeds.

I'm also getting unknown directory messages when I try to download a torrent?

busterone

Are you using the passkey function?  I haven't used this in a long time, but if I am not mistaken, you must create the torrent in uTorrent and save it, but do not load it. Then, upload it to your tracker. Then, you must download the torrent file from your tracker and load the downloaded one, not the original. 
If you are not using the passkey, I think you still have to do the same.
