Four years ago today I went live with a site that has taken off better then I ever imagined. Linuxtracker.org went online when I posted a torrent for Slax 4.2.0 and its grown ever since. Currently, we’re averaging over 120k unique visitors a month, we have over a thousand linux torrents loaded and over 6000 members registered and more visitors then we can count. It really is a beautiful thing.

The site hosts local and multi tracker torrents (meaning that we can track our own as well as other torrents) and we append our tracker to the torrent file in order to add another layer of tracking to the torrent (in case it goes dead on the original tracker). The current version of the site design wise was implemented in the summer of 08, the Blog is working on receiving an overhaul as well so that it looks like the main site. The back end of the site is running on XBTit and the XBT tracker on a Debian Linux box.

We’re open to any Linux or Opensource Torrent (no movies, music, warez, etc.) and have a pretty good moderator group that keeps the site clean. We’re one of the few “legal” torrent sites around. It is a beautiful thing.

To celebrate the fourth anniversary of Linuxtracker, we’re going all out this month with several large giveaways:

• an impressive pack of swag supplied by Pandora as well as a linuxtracker.org shirt
• a complimentary subscription to LinuxJournal (print subscription for Canadian, US, or Mexico, online subscription for international members), a Google Sticker (sticker in photo may not be the one you receive) and an LNX Oval from ThinkGeek (one for each day!)
• a Plush Tux and Linux Fish (provided by ThinkGeek) – 5 of these bad boys to hand out!
• two packs consisting of T-Shirts, bumper stickers and a button from Sabayon Linux
• Schwag from Startupschwag.com
• 4 LinuxPro Licenses from CodeWeavers (the team that brought us CrossOver!)

So if you aren’t Registered yet you need to do so quickly!
