The Hydra Project is a new
script for private BitTorrent
trackers designed to resist any
attack or raid, and to
guarantee the privacy and
anonymity of its users. It's
truly hydra compatible, which
is much needed quality in
these turbulent times.


The Hydra Project , THP for
short, is developed with
privacy, anonymity and
survivability in mind. One of
innovative features of the
project is to make an OpenID
for users of private BitTorrent
sites so their login information
and upload/download ratios
can be shared across different
websites. The torrents can
also be shared among
different trackers. This
ensures that user ratios and
uploaded torrents will not be
lost if for some reason one of
the BitTorrent trackers ceases
to exist.


Shanti Braford, the developer
of the project explained to
TorrentFreak: "The idea is that
a group of admins can get
together and form a sort of
distributed set of private
BitTorrent trackers.
bacon.org, eggs.com, ham.net
and sausage.fm can all get
together, share user
databases, torrents,
upload/download ratios,
etcetera. If eggs.com gets
raided, the rest of the sites
are still alive and the torrents
people have downloaded will
still work because they'll be
associated with multiple
tracker URLs."


THP will be one of the most
private and anonymous
BitTorrent trackers, something
that most users will absolutely
appreciate. For example, no
email addresses will be
collected, the IPs will not be
stored (only memcached )
and.torrent files will not be
connected to users. There is
even an option for the
administrator to delete all
data via a memcached
shutdown in case the server
loses its connection to the
network, which will happen if
there's a raid.


The tracker script is developed
in Ruby on Rails. "The code is
about 90% there," Shanti told
us "I've kept it very simple and
rudimentary, but functional. If
any PHP coders are interested
perhaps it could be ported
over." I would encourage all
developers who are interested
in the project to take at the
project page and THP's Sync
API wiki .


If THP lives up to its
expectations the Hydra will be
more flexible and stronger
than ever.

It seems we would have a safe and sound torrent world if this project hits gold..which is still in 90%,which has to go thru alpha,beta,delta..and then gold.

A boon to a torrent community...
