The ScrapeTorrent TrackerChecker

TrackerChecker

I need you guys' help testing this before I make a menu link to this for the public to use on Sunday-ish

It scans hundreds of private bittorrent trackers every few minutes and reports whether or not registration is open or closed. The little envelope icon next to the tracker is the auto notification button for that site. You can have the TrackerChecker notify you when registration becomes open.

More features will be added to it, such as a simple "request private tracker to be listed" form, categorization, and sorting methods. I might need some help categorizing the torrent sites if any people are interested.

SMS (cell phone text message) notification capability will be enabled on Sunday night when I get time to write in some anti-spam components, as well as a great deal more trackers. Given I don't drink more than 15 beers tonight.

If you have any ideas or problems, post them here.

Is there any way to have it take less time to fully load? Seems to really take a while and I have a 3mb connection. Maybe removing the tracker ico files on the left?

[Brian]

Yeah, I'll probably write in something to grab the ICO files automatically and store them locally

[Brian]

Can you guys start suggesting trackers for the TrackerChecker?

the suggest link is on the trackerchecker page

I'd prefer only english trackers. But thats just me.

[Brian]

Soon they will be sortable
