phpMyBitTorrent

Dear phpMyBitTorrent users,I've been really busy recently, and I'll be busier until July.I want to inform you about the most recent improvements of phpMyBitTorrent.After Sourceforge changed the CVS server for projects (so don't download from ... [More] cvs.sourceforge.net anymore but use phpmybittorrent.cvs.sourceforge.net), all the work I did till now, except a few lazy files, is online inside CVS.I didn't know that last Setup steps were not loaded in CVS: now they are, but I want to advise you that there are still some problems with OverLib that will be faced later.As you should know, PHP's DOM XML is now a REQUIREMENT. Most servers can dynamically load DOM XML (till you keep Safe Mode disables), but it won't always work. I have prepared a guide and I have to translate it into English: it explains how to recompile DOM XML in the attempt to match PHP version (Windows doesn't seem to have such problems). Troubleshooting and help by PHP developers will make support easier for those who won't be able to install DOM XML.But many of you could say: why the hell that DOM XML? Wasn't it all working fine before all this?The truth is that XML features will be soon required for Shareaza Collection upload.You don't need glasses! You have read good!Shareaza Collection (now supported by eMule too) will be an essential part of phpMyBitTorrent to reach P2P's 4th dimension!And here is the most important of the new features: LINK UPLOAD!Finally, you can upload just a set of file links without Torrent. Simply provide the eDonkey2000 Link (and optionally Magnet) of the files you wish and they will be visible on the tracker near other Torrents.Fantastic huh?By the way, last news.I just want to inform you all that phpMyBittorrent will be subject of my Data Bases exam at university. I've been able to convince my teacher that this is a good project, and he now wants to see the DB at interview! Hope this project will bring me luck!!!About next release, I have to fix several issues with the current CVS, and I don't knwo how much time it will take. (0 comments) [Less]

Hi everyone,I'm writing this article to make a summary of the most asked questions about both the ver. 0.7.10 and the lastest CVS version.Q: I can't upload Torrents. Function bdec() does not exist!A: If you are using 0.7.10, make sure that there is a ... [More] line that includes the file "include/benc.php". The version has been tested, but it worked. Anyway...If you are using lastest CVS, your takeupload.php is someway not up-to date and you need some more files.Q: I can't scrape external trackers any way!A: Scraping trackers depend on the ability of your server to load external files using HTTP. You could still do a quick test by running the first step of the Installation script provided with lastest CVS (English language not tested). It will try to open "phpmybittorrent.com", and if it works, you MAY scrape trackers.Please remember that some BT trackers are on a port different than 80, and a server firewall could block those outgoing connections. More, the prq.to's tracker is always overloaded, so it's not a good choice to test the feature with it.Cleanup.php is the most controversial file in this program. It actually worked a few times. MY DEVELOPMENT COPY is capable of scraping trackers in cycle. But you need the lastest CVS with the XML features. Version 0.7.10 is not capable of it, but you can manually enter the External Trackers Admininistration and scrape your trackers thereQ: I can't upload Torrents! It says "missing dictionary"A: This means that your Torrent file is empty because it has not been uploaded. You must be sure that your server allows file uploads in php.ini. If it still doesn't work, you should consider changing server because the script is FINE.Anyway, you could have some troubles handling the CVS version because SourceForge.net had troubles with CVS Service. These days, a massive upgrade/change-over will be performed by SourceForge on CVS Service. I expect that the whole package will be inconsistentMore important:Q: Damn! I don't like this sh** of version 0.7.10! It's filled of bugs all around and doesn't work! Ver. 0.6 was better!A: Version 0.7.X are all UNSTABLE. Even if tests have been performed on these, we can't grant you it works fine. The above problems do not occur in my development copy, which is candidate for ver. 0.8RC1 (0 comments) [Less]
