I want to set up a bittorrent tracker. I will seed legal content, don’t worry about this.

Even though bittorrent is such a wonderful and widespread technology, I found little information on how to set up my own tracker. It looks like the entertainment industry propaganda is driving away people from sharing their knowledge on how to setup and maintain a torrent tracker. I also couldn’t find good tools, like web front-ends or tools to analyze and visualize tracker traffic and stats.

So, please, if you know about these things, write some decent howtos, and share the knowledge with the rest of the world…

Could someone please explain why broadcast networks don’t set up their own bittorrent trackers sharing their movies and series with ads?

Why do I have to download a ripped version of my favorite series (that isn’t broadcasted here in Greece) instead of downloading it from the official site together and watch the ads in it just like I would if it was broadcasted?

And if they are not into this business, why hasn’t someone set up a legal bittorrent tracker much like they would set up a TV station? They would by the rights to the series or movies and sell ad space in them…
