urec Posted March 17, 2008 Report Share Posted March 17, 2008 I want to make torrents are used by specific users. I want to check the ip adresses of the users who download and if it is not in my database the user cannot download. Is it possible and how can I do it?

Ultima Posted March 18, 2008 Report Share Posted March 18, 2008 (Not that it's really relevant to trackers)@urec: You can always create the torrent, making sure it's private, and use the internal tracker built into µTorrent. At best, you can send the .torrent file to the users you want to share with, and trust that they don't share the .torrent file with anyone else.

Lord Alderaan Posted March 18, 2008 Report Share Posted March 18, 2008 Well basically what he asking IS what normally would fall under the functionality of a tracker.You could use the build-in µtorrent tracker but you would have no security at all. Configuring ipfilter.dat (which works for the build-in tracker I believe) to exclude all but a few IPs is gonna be a pain. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ultima Posted March 19, 2008 Report Share Posted March 19, 2008 Well, restricting users isn't necessarily up to the tracker, so the problem isn't inherently a tracker issue. It's about how the .torrent file is distributed (and perhaps, the private flag if you take magnet URIs into account). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jewelisheaven Posted March 19, 2008 Report Share Posted March 19, 2008 He wants user validation.. that requires some site or front end for the tracker external to the client... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DreadWingKnight Posted March 19, 2008 Report Share Posted March 19, 2008 User validation at the client level is beyond the scope of the protocol. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
