Hi!

I'd like to do some research on what kind of data is accessible through the WebTorrent trackers. Some BitTorrent trackers serve files like those mentioned here:

Could you publish such file for this tracker?

Cheers, d33tah

Thanks @d33tah. Interesting feature.

Unfortunately, I don't have too much time these days, but I encourage anyone (including yourself) to make a PR to bittorrent-tracker, so that OpenWebtorrent can benefit from it ;)

Thanks! I'm not a JS dev, but I might try to hack something up. What's the minimum you would like to see for such a PR to get merged?

Also, what's the relationship between https://github.com/OpenWebTorrent/openwebtorrent-tracker and https://github.com/webtorrent/bittorrent-tracker ?

Well, it's not a difficult implementation. I would expect a fully functional feature.

Also, what's the relationship between https://github.com/OpenWebTorrent/openwebtorrent-tracker and https://github.com/webtorrent/bittorrent-tracker?

openwebtorrent-tracker is a fork from bittorrent-tracker. The current OpenWebtorrent tracker gets updates from openwebtorrent-tracker.
