bittorrent-tracker
A lightweight BitTorrent tracker server for HTTP, UDP, and WebSocket peer discovery, powering decentralized data distribution.
About bittorrent-tracker
bittorrent-tracker is a Node.js implementation of a BitTorrent tracker, the component that coordinates peers sharing files via the BitTorrent protocol. It handles HTTP, UDP, and WebSocket announce requests, making it compatible with both traditional BitTorrent clients and modern WebTorrent peers. The server is designed to be minimal and efficient, suitable for embedding in larger applications or running standalone.
It integrates directly with the WebTorrent ecosystem and can be used to build peer-to-peer backup solutions where data is distributed across multiple nodes. The tracker supports scraping, custom whitelists, and can run in memory or with a backing store. Its small footprint and open source license make it a practical choice for developers building decentralized storage or sync tools.
