Greenlie Tracker - An open tracker project

Greenlie is a bittorrent tracker free for anyone to use, runs on Google App Engine. You don't need to register, upload or index a torrent anywhere, all you have to do is to include the Greenlie tracker URL in your torrent.

How does it work?

When you create a torrent file the application will ask you for a tracker address, then simply type in Greenlie tracker URL's:

http://greenlietracker.appspot.com/announce

Additional trackers (SSL Connection)

For Private Secure SSL Connections, use this Greenlie tracker URL's: (We protect your privacy! :P)

https://greenlietracker.appspot.com/announce

Why use the Greenlie tracker?

This tracker runs on Google App Engine, and is absolutely free of use, while most of the trackers that can be used openly are either unstable or in some way connected to a bittorrent indexing site.

Usage limitations

We kindly ask you not to use the tracker in torrents resulting in unauthorized distribution of copyrighted files (movies, music, games and so on).

I already have .torrent files, how can I add your tracker?

• For one or a few torrent files you can use a simple torrent editing service like Torrent Editor

Can I remove an info_hash from the tracker?

No, the technology doesn't include any support for blocking info_hash keys from being registered with the tracker.

Just to make it clear so people sending DMCA takedown notices understand:

• We do not have any content.
• We are not a bittorrent site, we are just a tracker, we can not see what content is behind an info_hash.
• We don't have any torrent files.
• We can't give you any IP addresses in any other way than normal tracker usage.
• We can't verify any claims when we have no data other than the info_hash.
• We can't block info_hash keys from being registered with the tracker.
• We don't have any logs or ways to trace previous connections, It's not technically possible to trace connection history due to the sheer volume of connections. The only information that is possible to keep is the current torrent swarm.

So what should you as a content owner do? Contact the indexing site where the torrent download originated from and ask them nicely to remove the listing and the .torrent file!

After that you can send a request to get the info_hash blocked from the tracker. To get a info_hash blocked you as the rightholder must send us a e-mail with the following information:

• The info_hash you want blocked (40byte HEX).
• The url to the .torrent-file (or include the .torrent-file itself in the e-mail) so we can verify the info_hash.
• All documents required under the DMCA to prove your rights to the content.

If any of this information is missing we can not verify or process your request.

Please send the blocking request to this e-mail: admin (at) greenlieworld (dot) com

You mentioned donations, how can I help?

If you want to help with money to pay for bandwidth and servers, if you have programming skills, or anything you think we may require to make this project go forward, contact us at admin@greenlieworld.com

Something's broken, the tracker doesn't work, what should I do?

First off wait 6 hours, if it's something big we will already have it fixed by then, if we haven't, send an email to admin@greenlieworld.com, and report what IP you are trying to connect from, if you can ping the server, and if you know what a traceroute is, include one in the mail.
