After spending several hours coding and testing it, I think it is now time to release the latest version of my bittorrent tracker software: Torrent Trader Lite.

What is Torrent Trader Lite ?

Torrent Trader Lite is an open source php bittorrent tracker that works without MySql.
With a very intuitive interface, it will help you to distribute your files, without requiring you hours of work !

What’s new in this version ?

First, I have updated the layout and made the site XHTML 1.0 compliant, but these are only the most visible changes.
The most important change is the introduction of the AJAX BROWSING mode, that makes page loading a lot faster (because only the essential information is loaded, not the whole page), and browsing is really smoother. Just give it a try to see the changes ! Browsing torrents has never been so fast !

Among the other changes, I can quote the addition of a FAQ page, so your users will learn how BitTorrent works.
The backend has also changed, Torrent Trader Lite tracker engine is now based on my other software: SBT (which is just a tracker with no frontend), in an updated version that I will release in a few days. It should bring an overall performance improvment, for even more blasting torrent browsing !
