A BitTorrent Tracker for Debian and Ubuntu
Submitted by specialj on Sun, 2008-02-17 23:57.
I’ve been reviewing various BitTorrent tracker software and I’ve decided that what I think makes the most sense is a fast dedicated tracker and a separate front-end. I was a fan of CBTT in the past but that project, like the rest of the BNBT derivatives, appears defunct. XBTT, however, continues to be improved. And I came across a useful page on getting XBTT running on Debian. I think XBTT combined with a Rails-based front-end might make for a great BitTorrent tracker site. Perhaps XBTT could even be packaged at some point.

Yes Yes!!
I have been digging about tracker software recently as well. I am a rather firm believer in the bittorrent model, cms systems, blogging, online collaboration, you get the idea. I agree that XBT tracker would be the good choice there, with a nice front end (like xbtit).
I am excited that drupal is in the repo's, but it's torrent tracker system seems to me lackluster, and am all for the addition to the repo of a nice torrent tracker.
Where did you see the page with ubuntu (debian) install instructions?
Sorry that link isn't clear
