BitTorious
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
BitTorious is a combination open-source BitTorrent Tracker and web-based management portal released in 2014 by Preston Lee [1] from the Biomedical Informatics Department at Arizona State University. The primary difference between BitTorious' integrated tracker and other available trackers is the addition of a role-based permissions model and feed-based organization system. The source code[2] is written in AngularJS, Ruby on Rails and PostgreSQL, and may be run on Linux, Windows or OS X server environments.
v3.0.0
BitTorious v3 is the current production release. Major differences include tracker support for "volunteer" clients, as well as corresponding configuration options in the web-based user interface. Its release coincides with an academic publication entitled "BitTorious volunteer: server-side extensions for centrally-managed volunteer storage in BitTorrent swarms" published November 4, 2015.[3]
v2.0.0
Release of 2.0.0 was a rewrite of a previously unpublished v1.0.0, and marked by the publication of a paper entitled "BitTorious: global controlled genomics data publication, research and archiving via BitTorrent extensions" in BMC Bioinformatics on October 7, 2014.[4]
