Hi, is this bittorrent module still under active development? Would like to start using it but not if it's just going to stagnate and die (forcing me to change my setup after a few months/weeks)

Thanks

Currently I am a bit busy, but there should be quite a few changes coming in the next month or so. Rest assured I have not bailed on the module :).

That's nice to hear! I thought it had been abandoned; seeing that it is not, I guess I should spend the time to make proper bug reports for the things I've patched in my local copy of the module.

Just posting a note of encouragement - I think this is a great module with a lot of potential, and I have several sites I plan to use it on in the near future.

So, please continue developing this! You are doing a great job for the Drupal community.

Awesome news :)

There is a new release out, this should take care of quite a few issues. I hope to look deeper into updating the queries / views code to make it a bit more efficient.

This is a great module and one of the core features I want to include in my site.

I have it working to an extent - but seeders get passkey errors. Is the tracker function just not implemented yet? Are there patches/hacks to fix it? Can I use a third party tracker (Where do the .torrent files go?)

Thank you so much for all the time you put into this project chris.

Thanks for the support, what version are you using? I put Beta 3 up this afternoon, you might want to give that version a shot. As far as passkey errors are concerned I believe the only way to get this is to connect from two different IP addresses simultaneously. I will look into it closer as I perform the next round of updates specifically a look into the queries. Also to answer your question concerning torrent file location, the torrents are stored in the database. After the torrent node is created the .torrent file is uploaded and parsed. Important metadata is parsed and placed in separate database fields while the bulk of the torrent goes into the metadata field of the bt_torrents table.

Note: The updates should be more frequent as I have some free time in my future.

bradfordcp, that is GREAT news! Thanks for the very encouraging update! I honestly wasn't expecting a reply :D Great work with the module, I too will be using it extensively I think.

Thanks again!
