Tracking bittorrent downloads
So, you want to get your Linux distribution or open-source program into as many hands as possible without spending a ton of money on servers or bandwidth. What's the answer? Most people already know the solution: BitTorrent.
Bittorrent currently is the most popular peer-to-peer, file-sharing network protocol around, and there are Bittorrent clients available for almost every operating system that anyone runs, these days.
Best of all, from your point of view, people are getting your distribution without you having to worry about the bandwidth costs.
There's only one little problem: you really don't have a clue how many people are actually downloading your distribution, nor who they are. To do that, you need a tracker.
