Basically anybody can create torrent files for this tracker and only the person who has the .torrent know what’s in it, this creates an interesting relationship.

• Openbittorrent do not know what it’s tracking and do not want to.
• You know what it is tracking but it isn’t in your power to stop it nor do you have anything that can be pressured upon to shut it down.
• It’s an interesting system where the central point of the network is very hard to legally shut down, it also allow anybody to seed on bittorrent without needing a very complex setup.
