Welcome to the home of BitGrog on the world wide web. BitGrog is a set of PHP scripts (using MySQL for storage) that function as a BitTorrent tracker. It was originally created to extend the functionality of the standard tracker, but it also has the benefit of being contained entirely in web scripts, as opposed to the original BT tracker, an always-running python script. This means that a user can run BitGrog on a machine without python or on a machine to which the user has limited access. For example, if a user can use PHP and MySQL on their web space but is not allowed to run command line scripts (like the original tracker), the user can still setup BitGrog.
To run BitGrog, you need at least PHP 4.3.0. Any version of MySQL that web hosts are willing to install for their customer will work, I imagine.
You can always get the latest version of the BitGrog scripts here. The current version is 1.5, released October 17, 2004. Be sure to read the README before replacing any older, currently installed version. You need to run upgrade.php.
I know I said the next version would be 2.0, but I really can't think of anything major to add or change. This is most likely the final version, save for bugfixes and whatnot.
October 17, 2004 update: Use 1.5 at your own risk. I haven't worked on it in a year. I know there were reasons that I never released it, but I can't think of them, and I don't want to look for them. Don't e-mail for help with 1.5.
bitgrog_1_5.zip This is probably broken
For help or support, you can e-mail me at exarkun634@dbzmail.com, but I can't promise that I will be able to help you with your specific webhost setup.
