A private tracker is a BitTorrent tracker that restricts use by requiring users to register with the site. The method for controlling registration used among many private trackers is an invitation system, in which active and contributing members are given the ability to grant a new user permission to register at the site, or a new user goes through an interview process.
BitTorrent trackers provide a list of files available for transfer and allow the client to find peer users, known as "seeds", who may transfer the files. BitTorrent downloading is considered to be faster than HTTP ("direct downloading") and FTP due to the lack of a central server that could limit bandwidth.
BitTorrent sites may operate a BitTorrent tracker and are often referred to as such. Operating a tracker should not be confused with hosting content. A directory allows users to browse the content available on a website based on various categories. A directory is also a site where users can find other websites.

The world's largest tracker at The Pirate Bay switched from their selfmade software Hypercube to opentracker in the end of 2007. [6] The Norwegian Broadcasting Corporation uses it to distribute their own TV shows. [7] Popular public torrent trackers opentrackr [8] [9] and coppersurfer [4] are known to use opentracker.
It allows the use of multiple trackers simultaneously, [12] Local Peer Discovery, [13] Micro Transport Protocol (μTP), [14] and UDP tracker. [15] It does not support directly subscribing to RSS feeds containing torrent files for automatic download, but third-party add-ons can supply this functionality.
The focus of this project is to create a tracker in PHP that is fast, uses minimal server resources meanwhile providing full scale tracking capabilities. PeerTracker does not concern itself with the indexing or uploading of torrents, nor with share ratio monitoring or any other form of user management.
