Ce qu’on ne vous dit pas sur #bittorrent, c’est que des millions de machines continuent de toquer aux portes de serveurs totalement morts depuis des années. Un développeur vient de racheter un domaine abandonné et a pu constater que le réseau P2P est impressionnant (tellement d'ailleurs qu'il a pris peur …)

Resurrecting a dead torrent tracker and finding 3 million peers

It’s quite easy to find unclaimed domains like this. If you want to do a public service, open.demonii.si and others are up for registration…

🌕 復活已逝的 BT 種子追蹤器並發現 300 萬同行者
➤ 意外揭示的 BT 網路活力與潛在風險
✤ https://kianbradley.com/2025/06/15/resurrecting-a-dead-tracker.html
這篇文章記錄了作者復活一個已失效的 BT 種子追蹤器 (tracker) 的過程，並意外發現仍有龐大的 BT 網路依賴這些追蹤器。作者購買了一個域名，架設了 opentracker 軟體，結果在短時間內吸引了超過 300 萬個同行者和 170 萬個種子。然而，他也意識到此舉可能涉及法律風險，最終關閉了伺服器並釋放了域名。
+ 這篇文章讓我意識到 BT 網路的生命力，即使許多追蹤器已經失效，仍然有大量的用戶在使用。
+ 作者的實驗很有趣，但法律風險確實存在。這種行為是否構成「誘發侵權」需要進一步的法律判斷。

here is a sneak preview of a very simple python package for creating and handling .torrent files.

https://torrent-models.readthedocs.io/en/latest/

https://github.com/p2p-ld/torrent-models

• Full v2 and hybrid torrent support.
• model-based validation, editing, and parsing with modern python type annotations and metadata.
• Reasonable to use object when loaded with kind serdes handling (not just a wrapper around a bytestring dict)
• Fast enough to use with a tracker/web service (a surprising amount of the existing packages have O(n2) spots for no reason, this is ~dozens-thousands of times faster than torf).
• TODO: implement the rest of the BEPs, add methods for partial rehashing, more testing.

I was surprised this needed to be written since torrents are a relatively simple file format, but it did - none of the existing packages are suited for use as a library e.g. for tracker/client software and most can only do v1. I wrote this for sciop, where we want to be experimenting on the format, but also do stuff like dynamically modifying torrents to add trackers, webseeds, and other metadata. I'll do a full announcement after implementing the rest of the BEPs.

US-Gericht in Florida meint, dass #SocialMedia-Likes als Beweismittel in Urheberrechtsprozessen dienen können.

@radmin @vozercozer them featuring #Bitcoin #Ethereum, #BraveBrowser and not #Monero, #TorBrowser & #BitTorrent shows that the original creators (not the OP!) are #CryptoBros and #TechIlliterates as they shove in #Blockchain garbage everywhere and fail to acknowledge shortcomings.

• I.e. #MetaMask is just garbage software and doesn't even work well, far less can replace #PayPal and do actual payments!

Also noone wants garbage like Ethereum, #Filecoin and/or whatever other #Shitcoin they pitch!
