BitTorrent tracker
The Pirate Bay operated one of the most popular public trackers until disabling it in 2009 due to legal trouble.Vuze (formerly Azureus) was the first BitTorrent client to implement such a system through the distributed hash table (DHT) method.Current versions of the official BitTorrent client, μTorrent, BitComet, Transmission and BitSpirit all share compatibility with Mainline DHT.This flag, as defined in BEP 23,[3] specifies that the tracker can compact the response by encoding IPv4 addresses as a set of 4 bytes (32 bits).BitTorious is an open source, commercially supported tracker with integrated web-based management portal.
