Central Knot

Codeberg Repo: Central Knot

BitTorrent protocol: Back to basics: BitTorrent

Central Knot is a HTTP tracker for the BitTorrent protocol. It follows the specifications described in BEP 3 and BEP 23 of the protocol.

The tracker exposes the endpoint /announce on the port 9000. This can be added to a list of trackers for a torrent and it will start tracking the swarm. This was tested with the qBittorrent client and will work when downloading a torrent with it, but any client that respects the specifications should work out of the box.
