IPv6 trackers

[Phentora]

Could a IPv6 list be added also ? There are a few trackers that support IPv6 only as far as i am aware.

Sorry, the server running the bot doesn't have IPv6 connectivity.

Are you not willing to set up a v6 tunnel on your server, or is there some other limitation?

Over 20% of the connections to Google services are via IPv6. This percentage doesn't even include the large number of users who have limited v6 connectivity (eg Teredo) -- because browsers prefer v4 over Teredo, whereas BT clients will still gladly use Teredo if it's enabled on their system.

Even though basically everyone still has v4 connectivity, v6 trackers are extremely beneficial, especially for clients who don't have proper v4 port-forwarding. Someone behind a NAT can often still use Teredo and receive direct incoming connections, giving a healthier peer swarm.

So yeah, I hope you can take v6 into more consideration. Thanks for your time.

I can set up the tunnel but I don't know any IPv6 tracker. @HarryS @JanPokorny @xiuluo do you have any?

[Phentora]

I have IPv6 available on my VPS, but i haven't enabled it on the server side. I will make a issue when i do enable it.

This should be ipv6 only, haven't tested: http://tracker.ipv6tracker.ru/announce

[HarryS]

Sounds cool! Here's mine:
udp://ipv6.tracker.harry.lu:80/announce
http://ipv6.tracker.harry.lu:80/announce

(udp is preferred, but you can add both to the list)

udp://IPv6.open-internet.nl:6969/announce

Heres is another one from leechers-paradise/eddie4 that supports IPv6

yeah, gbitt.info handles IPv4 only.
OpenTracker has no IPv6 support yet, but if anybody knows a IPv6 supported OpenTracker, would be appreciated. Otherwise I need to fork it and hack a IPv6 support to it.

Open sourcing the update bot could help people add IPv6 support.

[Power2All]

OpenTracker is already open sourced on Github.

Open sourcing the update bot could help people add IPv6 support.

@theel0ja I made this project because all list I found in Google were outdated. Publishing the source code will lead to more abandoned forks and more outdated lists. I will keep updating the list and, if I can't at some point, I will release the source code.

[JanPokorny]

@ngosang Outdated lists can be created pretty easily now, just copy the current list 😄 Also, look at how many project are on GitHub and how many of them are seriously hurt by "abandoned forks" (only ones I know of are illegal ones like Popcorn Time)
