Hi i am very much a newbie. I have a forum. I want my users to be able to create a torrent on their own pc using torrent clients (eg azureus), and just put that *.torrent link onto the forum, where other users can click on the link and and start to download with whichever clilent they have installed.
I installed phpbttrackermod 0.5.1, followed the direction. It is installed properly. I just don't know, what link my users should use to announce the seeding. Where should my seeder go to find the tracker, so the tracker knows there is a torrent file. i know its something like www.sitename:portnumber. I don't know which port it should be.. also does announce.php has anything to do with it?
Is there any other program that is good to do what i am trying to do?
Thanks

If you mean what's the announce URL, it's the URL to announce.php (eg
http://www.yourwebsite.com/announce.php).

Unfortunately, for the moment they can't. Well, if you trust some of them enough you can give them access to the administration area, and then they'll be able to use newtorrents.php to add their torrent... but they'll also be able to delete torrents...

If your website isn't hosted on a very special server, the port is 80 and doesn't need to be precised, eg
http://www.yourwebsite.com:80/announce.php is equivalent to
http://www.yourwebsite.com/announce.phpRegards
