I’m slowly working on a Joomla 1.5 version. Please do not post bugs until this version is out since I will be writing it from new code and not using old code. I am a systems administrator for a medium sized company and have much going on at the moment, I cannot respond to all emails sorry.

Sometimes the trackers you are contacting will not respond to the specified user agent, other times they will only allow a number of requests in a specific time span.

Let me load up 1.5 and read all the stuff for the new install routines and see what I can do. This will take some time though. I will post up what I find needs to be changed and see what I can do.

You can edit the script with any text editor, VI, Notepad, nano. It does not matter. It also does not matter where you place the update file, as long as you make a cron job to run the file itself. You can find out how to make cron jobs by searching Google, as your host may use a different version of Linux or UNIX then mine.

Torrent Trader was a side project I used when I was building Joomla sites and really made it for my cousin, it’s not been updated for Joomla 1.5 or really ever used after. The code is actually very simple, and can be edited with any text editor. It’s written in PHP as are the majority if not of Joomla components.

I do not run a Joomla site anymore, so if I did have some extra time to test it, I would have to setup another Joomla install.

I would suggest you open the .php files and such and read over them, I left comments where I felt they are necessary and it was kept as clean as I could keep it.

I just could not support the amount of requests coming on a hourly basis for this component.
