description1:
## 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.
