🔐 Security vulnerabilities

If you discover a security vulnerability within TorrentPier, please follow our security policy, so we can address it promptly.

📌 Our recommendations

• The recommended way to run cron.php. - For significant tracker speed increase may be required to replace built-in cron.php by operating system daemon.
• Local configuration copy. - You can override the settings using local configuration file library/config.local.php.
