So I am wanting to build a basic torrent tracker/indexing software with a setup so that when a torrent is uploaded the peer count can be returned from the trackers within the torrent. I've seen a lot about scraping torrents but I've not seen how you would specifically go about echoing the peer counts, completed downloads or average download speed. I myself am only really interested in receiving the seed and leecher counts individually.
I found some scripts that support UDP and HTTP scraping on github and forked them and added a script that can be used to process the actual .torrent file itself the Github Repository
I'm not a wizard at any language in particular so could someone give me a rough template of what would be needed with the scripts included? An example torrent tracker software I'd use as a base would be something along the lines of PeerTracker
I noticed that here there are seed and leecher and completed variables in httpscraper.php line 79.
$torrents = array();
foreach($infohash as $hash){
$ehash = pack('H*', $hash);
if (isset($arr_scrape_data['files'][$ehash])){
$torrents[$hash] = array('infohash'=>$hash,
'seeders'=>(int) $arr_scrape_data['files'][$ehash]['complete'],
'completed'=>(int) $arr_scrape_data['files'][$ehash]['downloaded'],
'leechers'=>(int) $arr_scrape_data['files'][$ehash]['incomplete']
);
} else {
$torrents[$hash] = false;
}
}
So how would I go about echoing those? I can setup the tracker and hash variables in the script but I'm not sure what to use to echo those parameters into a document.
