PHPBTTracker+ 1.6 - Tracker consistency help
The purpose of the tracker consistency page is to correct displayed statistics if they are incorrect. It also
removes peers that have not reported to the tracker in a reasonable amount of time.
Please note that this script DOES NOT require you to be logged in to the administrative interface.
Although this tracker can correct incorrect stats if clients use the /scrape output, this may not be the best
way to keep the stats correct. The /scrape method adds overhead to the tracker responses (in execution time).
If you have a lot of peers on the tracker this will limit how many in total you can have online at any time.
The better solution would be for the tracker owner to set up crontab to run this file every 3 hours or so. (Keep
in mind that you should not use the webserver for this. Use the php executable.) A sample crontab entry that would
repeat every three hours is similar to:
* */3 * * * * php /path/to/bta_consistency.php
Here is a bit of an explanation of what is displayed, by each column.
