README
aquatic: high-performance open BitTorrent tracker
High-performance open BitTorrent tracker, consisting of sub-implementations for different protocols:
| Name | Protocol | OS requirements |
|---|---|---|
| aquatic_udp | BitTorrent over UDP | Unix-like |
| aquatic_http | BitTorrent over HTTP, optionally over TLS | Linux 5.8 or later |
| aquatic_ws | WebTorrent, optionally over TLS | Linux 5.8 or later |
Features at a glance:
- Multithreaded design for handling large amounts of traffic
- All data is stored in-memory (no database needed)
- IPv4 and IPv6 support
- Supports forbidding/allowing info hashes
- Prometheus metrics
- Automated CI testing of full file transfers
Known users:
- explodie.org public tracker (
udp://explodie.org:6969), typically serving ~100,000 requests per second - tracker.webtorrent.dev (
wss://tracker.webtorrent.dev)
Performance of the UDP implementation
More benchmark details are available here.
Usage
Please refer to the README pages for the respective implementations listed in the table above.
Auxiliary software
There are also some auxiliary applications and libraries.
Tracker load testing
Load test applications for aquatic and other trackers, useful for profiling:
- aquatic_udp_load_test - BitTorrent over UDP
- aquatic_http_load_test - BitTorrent over HTTP
- aquatic_ws_load_test - WebTorrent
Automated benchmarking of aquatic and other trackers: aquatic_bencher
Client ⇄ tracker communication
Libraries for communication between clients and trackers:
- aquatic_udp_protocol - BitTorrent over UDP
- aquatic_http_protocol - BitTorrent over HTTP
- aquatic_ws_protocol - WebTorrent
Other
- aquatic_peer_id - extract BitTorrent client information from peer identifiers

Trivia
The tracker is called aquatic because it thrives under a torrent of bits ;-)
