About:
Torrent Live Stats is a hosted script to which you can upload a BitTorrent file or point to an existing bittorrent, and from which an image is generated with the contents and size of the torrent and live statistics on the number of seeds and leeches. It is meant to be used to post a torrent’s statistics on a Web page or in a forum.

Hi,
This is great, thanks very much.
Is is possible to also display the total number of completed downloads in the image? ie the number of times the files within the torrent download.
Steve
Hey, you’re welcome Steve
Since the stats are grabbed by hitting the tracker, as long as trackers don’t return that data, neither can I unfortunatly. However, I know at least one group was building images like this into their tracker so you could upload your torrent, then put a hosted image onto your site/forum post. I think it was the old tracker that ran Torrentz. Let me know if you find anything
another question for you
trying to add a image that i get from a torrent to a forum within image tags. I get a different type of url then is shown on your demo site. if i post the same torrent on your demo iste i get this url, which doesn’t result in an impage (times out) …/torrent6ec8eea2ffbe0045f353fbd7fb6e01a6b05a1cb5.upload.torrent.FFFFFF.000000.PNG On my site i get ; …/torrent.php?torrent=bb04d24ac79b691ea90ec5c39ba55be1e53960a8.upload.torrent&textcolor=FFFFFF&bgcolor=000000 This image doesn’t dynamically update within a forum, but is fine within a normal html page… Any ideas? ie why do we get different output urls?
To setup forum-friendly URLs like that, just place a .htaccess file in the directory with the script with the following contents:
hey im not sure what sort of stats are returned by the tracker but if it could show the ’swarm speed’ that would be awesome. I know that azureus shows this but i have a funny feeling it does this by connecting to all the peers and querying the, any way if that was possible it would be very cool
That’s a great idea grog. This post seems to imply that swarm speed is calculated by the tracker itself but I can’t find any documentation. I’ll check out the bencoded replies from common trackers and see if I can find anything. If I do, I’ll release a v0.3…finally
Warning: unlink(/tmp/): Is a directory in /home/rusername/public_html/btstats/torrent_inc.php on line 146
tried setting to /tmp/ in root to 777
and tried changing /tmp in configs to another dir
still nada.
any ideas?
Are you sure you’re passing in a torrent url for it to fetch? It sounds like it’s getting to that line with $torrentfile being null so line 146 is trying to delete /tmp (which is not good
). What’s the full URL of your call to the script?
Thanks for checking it out!
well i tried
// linking to a remote torrent hosted thepiratebay
// //using the linux torrent in example
trying this url:
http://torrent.unix-ag.uni-kl.de/torrents/KNOPPIX_V4.0.2DVD-2005-09-23-DE.torrent
// downloading a torrent and the uploading it
everytime this is what I get:
still
Warning: unlink(/tmp/): Is a directory in /home/username/public_html/media/btstats/torrent_inc.php on line 146
:: tmp in root is chmod to 777
:: scrapes is created inside btstats folder and chmoded to 777
:: maketorrent/torrent.php have the changes described in README applied to them as well as tried both chmod 755 and 777. its 755 right now
You can see the demo here: http://www.rapgodfathers.com/media/btstats/
Thanks for your time. Just asking for advice. For right now I will try on a diff server.
I tried with http://www.rapgodfathers.com/media/btstats/torrent.php?torrent=http://torrent.unix-ag.uni-kl.de/torrents/KNOPPIX_V4.0.2DVD-2005-09-23-DE.torrent and it looks like it is working…except you don’t have the GD PHP library installed (“Call to undefined function: imagecreatetruecolor()”). You’ll need to get that library installed on your server and it should probably work for you. Good luck!
got it working on another server with GD. Thank you for this.
Last question:
Should the information about a torrent be saved in in the sql db so that you can always call upon the same torrent info again by using torrent.php ? Or i have to use a format of
http://www.rapgodfathers.com/media/btstats/torrent.php?torrent=http://torrent.unix-ag.uni-kl.de/torrents/KNOPPIX_V4.0.2DVD-2005-09-23-DE.torrent
everytine to post the torrent info?
Thanks once again

Hey Jonathan,
Ive tried out your script, but whatever torrentfile I try, be local or remote I get the status *DOWN*. Any idea?
K
@kiim: Sorry you’re having problems with the script. Maybe it’s having problems downloding the torrent files and saving them locally? Make sure your permissions are correct (they should all be in the README). Lemme know if you’re still having problems and I’ll try to remember how this thing works
Thanks for swift response
Ive set up everything as described in the README, but get the *DOWN* message even with uploaded files aswell as regular links. You can see the test here: http://www.superlasten.com/dev/bt/maketorrent.php
