uTrack is a very light weight, fast, multithreaded UDP bittorrent tracker.
- UDP announce and scrape
- secure connection ID to prevent IP spoofing
- multithreaded with minimal lock contention
- incremental purging of peers to amortize CPU load
- high packet throughput via libpcap
utrack requires:
- a C++11 conformant compiler (clang 3.1+ or GCC 4.7 or so)
- BSD sockets
- boost and boost-build
run:
b2
on the command line in the utrack root directory.
Optional build options:
| option | description |
|---|---|
| pcap=on | Enable libpcap support. This will improve UDP performance by circumventing some of the syscall overhead associated with udp sockets. |
| pcap=win | Enable libpcap support and use libwinpcap specific extensions. This speeds up both sending and receiving of packets. |
| pcap=receive-only | Enable libpcap only for receiving packets, use regular sockets for sending replies. |
| stage | copy the resulting utrack binary to the root dir |
| stage-test | copy the resulting udp_test binary to the root directory. (The test requires libpcap) |
