Bittorrent v2 support

[XfedeX]

It looks like bittorrent-tracker server does not support v2 torrents.

Is this still relevant? If so, what is blocking it? Is there anything you can do to help move it forward?

What do you mean by BT_v2 support, there is no need for a tracker to support it, since only difference here would be a longer v2 info hash, but due to specification even it is being truncated from 40 bytes to 20.

Not true.
Bittorrent v2 uses a different structure of the torrent array.

It also uses an different hashing method then the original Bittorrent.

@Power2All I meant tracker communication, since the question was about the server (announcer) software, yes hashing algorithm did change for meta files, additions to the client software for calculating their info-hash could be made + file tree info if necessary, I've read the BEP a couple of times.

@kovalensky Not only meta files, also the main hashing is not done with SHA1 anymore. Tracker communication is still just a IP and port list, and can be retrieved with HTTP/HTTPS announce request as well. File tree structure is not exchanged with the announcements, so I do not see the point still.

That's what I said, I also meant that client side of bittorrent-tracker could be improved to read v2 files (if there's such function), I didn't say that file list is being exchanged with the tracker, probably some misconception happened.
