Configuration

The tracker reads it's configuration from the file xbt_tracker.conf and the SQL
table xbt_config. There is no need to insert default values into this table.

 Auto Register
===============

If auto_register is on, the tracker will track any torrent. If it's off, the
tracker will only track torrents (identified by info_hash) that are in the
xbt_files table.

[[[
-- insert a new torrent:
insert into xbt_files (info_hash, mtime, ctime) values ('<info_hash>', unix_timestamp(), unix_timestamp());

-- delete an torrent:
insert update xbt_files set flags = 1 where info_hash = '<info_hash>';
}}}


 Anonymous Announce
====================

If anonymous_announce is on, the tracker will serve any user. If it's off, the
tracker will only serve users (identified by torrent_pass) that are in the
xbt_users table.

The torrent_pass field in xbt_users contains the 32 char torrent_pass. The
announce URL contains the same torrent_pass: /<torrent_pass>/announce
