How many peers public trackers can handle?

I recently lowered my limits to about 5k after moving to a smaller server. FastCast and OpenWebtTorrent should handle 5k - 50k, depends on the servers and if other processes are consuming memory.

I wouldn't rely on public trackers for a large operations. For example, large websites (1k+ concurrent users) are blocked from using BTorrent tracker unless sponsoring.

We decided to create our own open source high-performance implementation of WebTorrent tracker using uWebSockets.js: https://github.com/Novage/wt-tracker
