Release notes

x-Torrent is a module which allows your users and yourself to upload torrents to xoops, it will poll the torrents as well as download file information, seeds, leeches, trackers etc, of the torrent.

It is a modified version of wfDownload by the wf Team, done over 7 hours of an early morning. Completely tested x-Torrent will allow you to manipulate and maintain your torrent library with easy forms and standised interface.

The announce appears from the file http://yoursite.com/modules/xtorrent/announce.php You can redirect this at the root with a .htaccess file to something that is shorter.

.htaccess File

This is how you SEO your xoops with a .htaccess file or several!! The needed change in your .htaccess file in the XOOPS root path. This will SEO your announce path to either http://www.yoursite.com/announce or http://www.yoursite.com/announce/ you will need to change the preferance in your x-Torrent 1.30RC to the SEO path for the announce.

RewriteEngine On
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteRule ^announce/?passkey=([a-zA-Z0-9\ \'\_]+)$ modules/xtorrent/announce.php?passkey=$1 [L,NC,QSA]
RewriteRule ^announce?passkey=([a-zA-Z0-9\ \'\_]+)$ modules/xtorrent/announce.php?passkey=$1 [L,NC,QSA]
RewriteRule ^announce/ modules/xtorrent/announce.php [L,NC,QSA]
RewriteRule ^announce modules/xtorrent/announce.php [L,NC,QSA]

There is an option in the preferences, that is for SEO this path currently it would look like..

http://www.yoursite.com/modules/xtorrent/announce.php

you will need to also change this to

http://www.yoursite.com/announce/ or http://www.yoursite.com/announce

Basic User Guide

Seeders

Number of allowed seeders on the torrent.

Leeches

Number of leeches allowed on a torrent.

Open Tracker

You will not need a passkey to use the tracker, this is good if you are using the licenses this has been written for in the software licensing field in the torrent upload submission.

Closed Tracker

When you uploaded the torrent you need to download it again and merge the trackers with the existing file in your torrent software etc.. you can reuse a passkey if you want when mounting them in the future but I would advise against this as a passkey is like a username.

Currently with a closed tracker you need to do this to mount it on the service, as it needs a passkey to work. Also currently there is a minor bug that if you do not specify a tracker to begin with the torrent will be corrupt.

Close Tracker Mode is completely operational.

Tracker URL

Do not change this!! Unless you have created a .htaccess file to SEO the tracker, this will provide no value in removing this option as you will corrupt your torrents and they wont work if you change this and have not implemented a change
