The smoking gun is right there in config.example.py:

    TRACKER_API_AUTH = 'topsecret'
    TRACKER_API_URL = 'http://127.0.0.1:6881/api'

A smoking gun is just circumstantial evidence.

The real damning thing in that repository are the few lines that play Toy Story 2 if you run them.

How is that a smoking gun?

It connects with a tracker, which might be used to help distribute copyrighted works illegally, but also any other types of files.

It's possible I'm not getting your sarcasm.

It's a sarcastic joke, nothing there but a place holder for your own API key and you would have to set it up. There's no place like 127.0.0.1. :D
