Add Torrent Tracker Signup Monitoring Bot #2

mentatbot · 2025-08-20T09:11:23Z

This PR adds a new Discord bot that monitors popular private torrent trackers for open signups and notifies subscribed users when registrations become available.

New Features

Torrent Tracker Bot (torrent_tracker_bot.py)

Monitors 6 popular private trackers: RED, OPS, PTP, BTN, HDB, and AB
Checks tracker signup pages every 5 minutes for availability
User subscription system with Discord slash commands
Real-time notifications when tracker signups open
Persistent storage of user subscriptions and tracker status
Comprehensive command system with help documentation

Commands Available:

!trackers - List all monitored trackers and their current status
!subscribe <tracker> - Subscribe to notifications for specific trackers
!unsubscribe <tracker> - Unsubscribe from tracker notifications
!subscriptions - View your current subscriptions
!status - Show bot status and statistics
!help - Display command help

Additional Files:

requirements.txt - Python dependencies for the new bot
README_torrent_tracker_bot.md - Comprehensive setup and usage documentation
Updated main README.md to document both bots in the repository

The bot respects tracker servers with appropriate delays between requests and uses simple heuristics to detect open signups. It saves user preferences and tracker status to JSON files for persistence across restarts.

Closes #1
