# UDPT
|
|
_UDPT_ is a UDP based torrent tracker which fully implements [BEP-15](http://www.bittorrent.org/beps/bep_0015.html) & [BEP-41](http://www.bittorrent.org/beps/bep_0041.html).
|
|
|
|
This project was written in Rust, it is a complete rewrite of a previous C/C++ UDPT project (which is still currently available in the `master` branch of the repository).
|
|
|
|
## Features
|
|
* UDP torrent tracking server
|
|
* In memory database
|
|
* Choice of Dynamic/Static/Private tracker modes
|
|
* Ability to block a torrent from being tracked
|
|
* HTTP REST API for management
|
|
* Logging
|
|
* Windows Service or Linux/Unix daemon
|
|
|
|
## Getting started
|
|
This rewrite is currently still under development and shouldn't be used at the moment.
|
|
If you'd like to contribute in making everything in the "Features" list come true, please feel free to submit a pull-request.
|
|
|
|
Since we are using Rust, getting started is fairly easy:
|
|
```commandline
|
|
git clone https://github.com/naim94a/udpt.git
|
|
cd udpt
|
|
git checkout udpt-rs
|
|
cargo build
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
## Why was this project rewritten in rust?
|
|
For a few reasons,
|
|
1. Rust makes it harder to make mistakes than C/C++.
|
|
2. Rust allows easier cross-platform development with it's powerful standard library.
|
|
3. Integrated tests and benchmarks.
|
