Can't remember the link, but someone created a torrent tracker and integrated it into a phpbb forum. Was wondering what the chances are on seeing this for future IM packages. I think it could be set up similiar to the way pafiledb is, but than again I'm no developer, so I have no idea the degree of difficulty.

well it's n,ot done at all ! yes there is a Simple Phpbb with tracker but nothing interessant !

there is only one mod but i think when the IM2 1.41 will be released we can ask to integrate one of the torrent trackers to integramod or the mod torrent tracker !

Sounds good! I look forward to it, and hope it will become an addition to the 1.4.1 release <img>

well im sure there is a Mod in phpbb but it's not verry interessant !

but what i can say is to try and integrad one of the existant and good tracker to IM than create a mod and share it with phpbb comunuty !

But u can still use the front files of the existant tracker and integrate them as HTML blocks in virgin portal page !

Did you integrate one w/your site? LDU has an integrated plug-in, but that board isn't half as good as IntegraMod, in my opinion :( Anything more hurts the server load

not yet !

and the phpb hack can not work with IM2 cause it's a premodded phpbb !

so just hope when the team finish with the new version we can have a tracker on the IM2

In all best interest, what good is a torrent tracker if not for illegal use?

I mean does IM2 as a community itself wish to be associated with what is considered pirating and illegal in a lot of places?

Not saying that I have or haven't used this service, just wondering if that is something that should be supported is all.

Bittorrent is NOT for illegal use. That is a bunch of FUD created by the RIAA & MPAA.

Bittorrent can however be used for illegal file trading. but that does not mean it is always used for that.

I use it extensively for getting my podcasts on a daily basis.

I'm also part of an online gaming community called EVE Online. based on the MMORPG.

We create videos from our battles and we use BT to distribute those video's.

By the way there we can use Tracker for a team of Manga's there is a thousand of those team that need a tracker and people in those team are in legal use cause they only translate the manga not liscenced in there countries or their language !

so trackers are not only for illegal use !

Not that I know of, as you can see the last post is a year old. I think it would be popular though.
