Example 1 Shows how to create a basic public tracker which tracks every torrent which it sees in an announce request
Example 2 Shows how to create a private tracker which only tracks torrents explicitly registered with it
1 public void StartTracker ()
2 {
3 Tracker tracker = new Tracker();

5 // When unregistered torrents are allowed, if a client requests peers for
6 // a torrent which is not currently monitored by the tracker, that torrent
7 // will be added automatically. This is useful for creating a 'public' tracker.
8 // Normally, if this is false, announce requests for torrents not already
9 // registered with the engine are sent an error message.
10 tracker.AllowUnregisteredTorrents = true;
11
12 // Set the interval between announce requests to 1 hour and min interval to 10 mins
13 tracker.AnnounceInterval = TimeSpan.FromHours(1);
14 tracker.MinAnnounceInterval = TimeSpan.FromMinutes(10);
15
16 // Create a listener which will respond to scrape/announce requests
17 // You can pass a prefix like: http://153.462.23.1/announce which will
18 // create a listener on port 80 (the default HTTP port) which will handle
19 // all announce requests.
20 HttpListener listener = new HttpListener("http://myserver.com/announce");
21 tracker.RegisterListener(listener);
22 listener.Start();
23 }
1 // torrentDirectory is a folder containing .torrent files
2 // which should be loaded into the engine

5 // Create the tracker and register a listener as in Example 1
6 Tracker tracker = new Tracker();
7 HttpListener listener = new HttpListener("http://myserver.com/announce");
8 tracker.RegisterListener(listener);
9 listener.Start();

12 //the tracker an error will be returned.

16 // (or torrents added in the future) will be processed.

21 // InfoHashTrackable is a basic subclass of ITrackable. It only stores
22 // the infohash and name of the torrent. If you need to store additional
23 // data for each torrent you're tracking, just subclass ITrackable or
24 // InfoHashTrackable and add the extra data there.
