Where I can find a reference for the messages I receive from the trackers?
I'd like to know where I can find a reference for the message/error we receive from trackers we use. What does exactly mean "skipping tracker announce (unreachable)", "Forbidden", "timed out" or whatever? I know it could sound newbie, but searching it on Google does not give any reasonable results, it only shows me ads and trackers tier list.
Re: Where I can find a reference for the messages I receive from the trackers?
Because it's not standard.
- There are a few tracker softwares out there you can just download, compile and run. See: https://github.com/HDVinnie/Torrent-Tracker-Platforms
- You can find most "status message replies" you see in those projects. But which ones you get depends on the tracker.
- I've also seen minor adjustments, some small amount of custom code. It's nothing complicated: for example they notice people hammer the tracker with some weird behavior. So they add a new "IF" check in the code to catch these folks. And so if people hammer, they get "rejected" and they receive a new status message like "dont hammer us".
Hope that makes sense?
