Research BitTorrent trackers we could use
Originally created by @intrigeri on #9277 (Redmine)
It’s unclear if the BitTorrent tracker we’re using will go on providing this service. We should look for alternatives.
Potential criteria:
- ideally, that would be an open tracker, so it’s a tiny bit harder for network attackers to monitor who’s downloading Tails: they have to get the torrent and connect to the tracker, as opposed to merely doing TCP/IP level passive monitoring; not sure if that’s a hard requirement;
- decent IP logging policy? iirc I was told that it would be crazy for open trackers to log IPs given the amount of requests they get; it would be good to see this confirmed.
