- daneel_w 7y agoThat you don't need to upload a torrent file somewhere in order for it to be made available by the tracker. That is, it's not running in the typical "whitelist mode", but instead, by simply announcing yourself and a torrent hash, that torrent is made available in the swarm for anyone to get in on. This mode of operation is one of the fundamental modes of opentracker - http://erdgeist.org/arts/software/opentracker/ http://erdgeist.org/arts/software/opentracker/ - which is the software pretty much all of the many open BitTorrent trackers run.
