Tracker Issues

Posted June 2nd, 2006 at 23:41 PST by Viper007Bond in Other
As many of you have noticed, both of the trackers that we use are currently having issues.
Our primary tracker is hosted on a home connection and due to the sheer number of users downloading Top Gear and such, it’s maxxed out the connection’s upload. Before a week or two ago, this had never been a problem. We will keep using this tracker, but we may end up switching to using a different tracker as our primary.
Our backup tracker appears to be down and has been like this for a day or two. Modern BitTorrent clients would normally switch to using this tracker if the main one was down/unavailable, but this one is down as well, so…
Update 6/3 1:30AM: The backup tracker is now back online. It just required a reboot. :)
Until one or both are up/available again, please use a modern BitTorrent client like uTorrent or Azureus. Both have a feature called DHT that will allow you to use torrents even when it’s tracker(s) are unavailable.
Apologies for these issues and hopefully they will be resolved soon. :)
