Some pages I know of for bittorrent (they all have .html extensions):
users
 login
 admin
 index
 info
 signup
 stats
 upload
 comments
 footer
 header
Download and docs:

http://bnbt.go-dedicated.com/
http://bnbt.go-dedicated.com/doc/
http://bnbteasytracker.sourceforge.net/documentation.php

Quick Linux Instructions:

Download and unzip bnbt-xyz.zip
cd to the bnbt/src/ directory
make

As root:
mkdir -p /usr/local/bin
cp -a bnbt bnbtmysql /usr/local/bin

As yourself:
mkdir bt
cd bt
bnbt

Now leave this running.

You may have prior documentation that says this:
" PLEASE NOTE: For added security you can create a new administrative account and delete the default admin
login/username. You must, however, create the new account BEFORE deleting the other. If no administrative
account exists, you will have to reset your user database to regain control of your tracker's
administrative functions."

Or you may have documentation that says this:
" Changing The Default Admin Password

It is highly suggested that you change the default administrative password. If you don't, anyone with a bit of
knowledge will be able to takeover your tracker.

After logging in, you will be taken to the Login/MyTorrents page. "

Well it doesn't seem to apply to Linux, so I added it to this page so you could easily search on it. Here is the solution:

Point your web browser to:
http://localhost:6969/users.html

How to set up or reset your users database:
Add an admin account (don't use admin, root, or administrator)
give a decent password
choose all priviledges (click each one, careful clicking...)
click "create user"

Now check in ~/bt/users.bnbt and make sure you have just 1 user line for your admin user. Now you should be secure and you can proceed to add a regular user account and proceed to start bittorrent downloads.

Backgrounding bnbt:
(the following from http://bnbt.go-dedicated.com/):
If you want to run BNBT in the background so that it continues to run even if you logout, use
the 'screen' command. Simply type screen -dmS name ./bnbt at the terminal where 'name' is some
descriptive name (and make sure the bnbt binary is in the current directory first). To attach
to the screen, type screen -r name at the terminal. To detach from the screen, press Ctrl-A
then press D.

If you don't care about seeing the bnbt server messages or don't want to install "screen" then here's the trick:

bnbt &
[1] 20467

ctrl+d

ps aux | grep bnbt


If bnbt is already running, then just put it to sleep and restart it in the background (bash shell, maybe other shells too):

ctrl+z
[1]+  Stopped                 bnbt

%1 &
[1]+ bnbt &

jobs
[1]+  Running                 bnbt &

ctrl+d

ps aux | grep bnbt

Now I'm off to figure out how to actually start a download... ;-)
