# aquatic
|
||
|
||
Fast, multi-threaded UDP BitTorrent tracker written in Rust.
|
||
|
||
Aims to implements the [UDP BitTorrent protocol](https://libtorrent.org/udp_tracker_protocol.html), except that it:
|
||
|
||
* Doesn't care about IP addresses sent in announce requests. The packet
|
||
source IP is always used.
|
||
* Doesn't track of the number of torrent downloads (0 is always sent).
|
||
|
||
Supports IPv4 and IPv6.
|
||
|
||
## Usage
|
||
|
||
Install rust compiler (stable is fine) and cmake. Then, compile and run aquatic:
|
||
|
||
```sh
|
||
./scripts/run-server.sh
|
||
```
|
||
|
||
## Benchmarks
|
||
|
||
Performance was compared to [opentracker](http://erdgeist.org/arts/software/opentracker/) using `aquatic_load_test`.

The tracker is called aquatic because it thrives under a torrent of bits ;-)
