Need somes advices
Hello BVList
Currently, which tracker script (according to you) is the safest/fastest/ most complete to use? Don't care if it's opensource/free/paying/nulled; and why? Thanks :) |
Not going to sneek behind back and PM you with test sites or try to push one source on you
There are 2 good source codes rite now that are both safe and up to date U-232 this is a completely open source code and it is free it has multy language support. BTManager is not free(there is a free trial rite now) But it is not encoded so you can edit any files you wish It has multy language support and themeing it is very easy as it uses html templates with tags. Both of wich have there pros and cons There are quite a few others out there rite now also but most of them are out dated and well take some work to get them to work on any php greater then 5.2 and allot well need work to secure them up more in the long run it well truely be up to you in the end. |
Oh great. Correct me if I'm wrong, U-232 V4 is the latest U-232 version right ?
|
As far as I know it is.

Hi Eltan,
OK so I can give you some good and honest advice! Joe is 100% correct there are two good source's and I will say unassumingly that B.TManager is the best. I must add that I'm not involved in either sources. U232 is a very good with out a doubt, the core developer is an experienced coder and his team have really made a very secure and nice looking UI. If you do indeed choose u232 make sure you download V-4 for the simple reason that it supports XBT. OK so what is XBT and why should I use it? Well XBT is a Tracker not to be confused with u232 its self, it is what handles the so called backend, you need to understand that the brunt of the work is done by three to four files that is the true ""Tracker"" the rest I'm not going to get into because its not that important for this discussion. OK so when you setup and configure XBT it will do the work of those files I mentioned earlier, so why go to all the trouble of setting up XBT? Well XBT is a useful piece of C++ software that uses up minimal resources but handles a hell of a lot of peering without a flutter. OK so why would I still pick BT Manager? Well BT Manager is packed full of mods and like U232 its very well coded, secure and lightning fast. Yes there is a small fee involved but it's well worth it. So what do you get for your buck? Well this is one of the things I really like and that is you get one on one support with a quick turn around, so for people that are either you would get some instructions on how to solve the problem you might be having. Another nice feature is the ability to upgrade the source from the admin panel so there is no need to fiddling around with downloading and upgrading the source code manually that can present many problems. another worth knowing fact about BT Manager is its not based on any other source, the main draw to this in my opinion is 1) Its harder for any would-be hackers to penetrate your site for the simple reason that there is honestly not many devs working on it. But its pretty locked down so good luck to them! Another thing that i like is the constant updating of the code its self both PHP and MYSQL is constantly been updated this is important because of security updates there might be with PHP and MYSQL so your tracker is secure and for the practical reasons like when a new Linux operating systems are released, its important to have the latest version of PHP and MYSQL because most distribution update libraries will only support newer stable versions of PHP and MYSQL. But the main feature is just that! It's packed for of features, so why is that so important! Well most sources straight out the box come with limited features and any extra's you would like you will either have to code it your self or copy some guide you find or finally employ someone like me to create it for you. The other really nice thing is BT Manager's forums it has attachment support, group forum support and post locking approval system for new users to make posts. Another thing that I think is very useful, is the permission system, that allow you to assign any permission to any group or even any user. Of course it has full bbcode support and you can add bbcode in the admin panel. Ive only mentioned a tiny tiny portion of the many features functions and hacks, I can assure you that there is much much more!! Good luck! and if you need any help read my signature then PM me! Kind Regards Firefly |

Okay. So I'm currently testing BTManager, and WOW, I'm lost in the admin panel. You were right. Everything has been thought.. When you talk about ''small fee'', which fee exactly? I currently have the last BTM running on my testing website. I know I have a free 30 days support, but the fee are for future support? Or something else? |

the fee is for support after your 30 day trial. |

And for MAX 1500/2000 members, I'd like a Cpanel VPS.. Any suggestion for me? |
For that amount of user better use a dedicated server it is much better than a VPS

id say you should not jump into dedicated before you see how it goes
get a VPS with a control panel for 10-15$/month and test some tracker sources and configs for 14$ you could get a VPS from Leaseweb which includes Plesk control panle https://www.leaseweb.com/cloud/publi...onfigure/21518 |

sorry for late advise if you already choose what you need but from my side..
If you are a Good php developer to code site your self your own then adding more Mods and features to your tracker, u-232 ,Gazelle ,BT Manager and more If you are not a coder no knowledge on php or server side then xbtitfm , xbtitdtfm , tsse , tsue, xentt ,BittyTorrent blabla no source is secure few source give limited support and some nothing few are decoded so cont edit any sources to changes... Think 200 times before chooose any script. this is my piece of shit Advise. |

Yeah youre right, sorry :D
I don't understand.. If I don't take Plesk or Cpanel, how can I install a complete webserver and host a tracker :O.. With Putty? If yes, is it hard for a noob like me? Which distribution should U choose? Ubuntu 14.04 (incl.) CentOS 5 CentOS 6 CentOS 7 Debian 6.0 Debian 7.0 Debian 8.0 FreeBSD 10 Ubuntu 12.04 Any distribution which already include mysql, ftp server and everything I need? :x |
i recommend go with plesk panel with centos 7 you cont manage server with out it, cpanel is expensive you can go with plesk with admin version would 4$ month .
Please check again with Leaseweb they may ask for Verification like passport etc.. |

I'm currently testing u232 v4, but I think there's no french traduction... And there is a lot of file to translate :suicide: U232 look really professionnal... |
yes u-232 is very good from backend frontned sucks , its all depends what you need you can design and code what you need,
1.BT manager , u-232 , Gazelle Very good you can mod what you need not very cheap for coding from a coder if you cont do it on your own. may be jeo can do it on BT what you need he wont run away or pay and use paid scripts like tsse , tsue or xbtitfm so no coding on this script as they are encrypted. but i dont recommend u-232 if you are not coder you will endup paying to coder Try either BT manager if it has what you need or try piad script like tsse or tsue i can say xam is big asshole he wont give any support for buyers but its easy to administrate script with less knowledge. i head xbtitfm is almost dead |
As I'm not a coder at all, maybe I should spend 90$ and buy an official tsse licence?
No one will help me with 100$ here anyway. |
