## Background
|
|
|
|
Many Bittorrent trackers are currently not reachable from the IPv6
|
|
world. So when you want to distribute Open Source Software via
|
|
torrent, it will be unreachable from IPv6 only networks.
|
|
|
|
## tracker.datacenterlight.ch
|
|
|
|
For this reason we have decided to supply an **IPv6 only**, **fully
|
|
open** bittorrent tracker in [Data Center Light](../data-center-light)
|
|
named **tracker.datacenterlight.ch**.
|
|
|
|
## How to use it
|
|
|
|
If you want to create a new torrent that uses this tracker, you can do
|
|
so by using **mktorrent**. Below is an example for [cdist](../cdist):
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
mktorrent -a udp://tracker.datacenterlight.ch:6969/announce,http://tracker.datacenterlight.ch:6969/announce \
|
|
-n cdist-6.5.0 cdist-6.5.0
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
You can use the following URLs:
|
|
|
|
* udp://tracker.datacenterlight.ch:6969/announce
|
|
* http://tracker.datacenterlight.ch:6969/announce
|
|
|
|
## Other IPv6 enabled trackers
|
|
|
|
* [ipv6tracker.ru](http://ipv6tracker.ru/)
|
|
|
|
## IPv6 enabled peers
|
|
|
|
On [vyncke.org](https://www.vyncke.org/ipv6status/p2p.php) you can
|
|
also find a list of IPv6 enabled peers.
