![]() If you want the working list of torrent trackers then move forward and follow our Torrent tracker guide. Torrent tracker list is useful for this case because you can give a list to the torrent client software and increase the download speed of uTorrent because the more tracker it has the more direct connections and the higher is the speed. Once you’ve got your profile(s) set, you can control which one(s) btsync loads with the /etc/default/btsync config file.Torrent Tracker are used to help finding the peers and making a direct connection to each other so that Peer to Peer Torrenting can take place. This client is running on my remote server, so I enable LAN encryption and the relay server, and disable LAN searching.I disable the built-in web UI, because no.I disable upnp and set a specific listening port so I can easily control access with my firewall ( ufw).!/usr/lib/btsync/btsync-daemon -config // // in this profile, btsync will run as my user ID // DAEMON_UID=gemma // ![]() Here’s what I did on my Ubuntu 13.04 server: Set Up: We don’t set things up manually in Ubuntu, son! Per usual, setting up the Windows and Android clients is a fairly brainless process setting up a Linux client is a little more exciting. I just replaced my KeePass triggers, my cron job and my Android rsync with one tool, without handing any of my data to a third party. It’ll automatically keep 30 days worth of version history. Once the tracker matches up some peers, it’s done it never sees the synced data, encrypted or otherwise, because the peers talk to each other directly.Īs a bonus, the btsync client does local backups by default. There are millions of hashed keys hanging out on the trackers right now, looking for matching peers, completely secure. The hashes can’t be forged (at least until somebody breaks SHA-2), and the original keys are needed for decryption. If you’re outside a LAN, you can enable MAGICAL THINGS: btsync can send a one-way hash (SHA-2) of your key up to a BitTorrent tracker, and match up peers by matching up hashes. Just btsync peers and a shared key, no external servers necessary. If you’re running behind a LAN, that’s all you need. The actual content transmission is just like regular BitTorrent, except with 256-bit AES encryption (based, again, on the folder key). Any other btsync peer (computer running the syncing client) with the key can sync from the folder, and no peer without the key can even see it. The key uniquely identifies your sync folder. You hand it a folder to sync, it hands you a 21-character key (password). Sync + Ubuntu = not having to worry about whether a third party is keeping your files safe in the cloud.
