Tracker problems

[geneseo]

Efforts to address the problems the site was having are very much appreciated. I'm just hoping there's an alternative.

Just a quick report, just now I'm connecting with utorrent 2.2.1, I was not connecting yesterday or two hours ago today.

Anyone else have a recent change of luck on this issue?

Thanks U2Lynne.

Same, stuff won't download, it worked fine the other day, but now nothing.

appreciate efforts to speed the experience but cloudflare is a dubious entity at best--Tor had loads of notable hassles with them and they broke the internet just this last June... that they can't troubleshoot why their man-in-the middle coding imposition has brought thousands of seeds going back a decade to a screeching halt is part and parcel to their well and long-established rotten reputation:

Cloudflare is 23 out of 23 best companies in the category DNS Provider on Trustpilot
Cloudflare is 78 out of 79 best companies in the category Internet Service Provider on Trustpilot

Thanks Again & Good Luck

"tracker was fine, fast and flawless" Yeah...once you were able to upload your torrent it was fine. I see you have never uploaded a torrent, so you would have no idea what a pain in the ass it was. I think my "record" was 23 times trying to get the torrent file attached to an upload. But routinely over 10 times. I have a long history with this site going back to day one, but I was sorely tempted to take my uploads elsewhere.

Correct, am a musician and do not at all find a performance worthwhile when operating recording equipment to my standards alas. The production is too mesmerizing. Maybe someday, though there are super few acts I care to witness firsthand anymore and they certainly about never come around my remote mountain location. The shows I have recorded are uploaded and seeded elsewhere prior to my arrival here.

That does sound a hassle, but loads of sites aren't and do not use cloudflare, or if they do is entirely transparent. So my point of course was to suggest those jokers take the simple effort to determine what syntax aspect of their whack code is at fault here on the double and for the Den to assess if there's a viable fix or workaround.

The bottom line is the address of a server seed is not being communicated with accuracy to clients and or vice versa. Look up the crap they put Tor through. That's who we're dealing with. If it were my man-in-the-middle code I could--and would--hone in on it pronto.

For a true coder, the hunt is the fun.

Nope,
don't work for me.
All torrents are shown red
If this will stay on, I will not share another torrent here again

[A-l-l-a-n-o-n]

site seems to be fixed. No issues anymore for reaching the site.
BUT, u-torrent as torrent client seems not more to work for seeding and leeching
All my torrents turnt to red since two days ...
Tried to upload a new torrent yesterday >> RED all over :-(

Hello
problems still present with μTorrent
but I downloaded BitTorrent and uploads - downloads are working correctly there!

[A-l-l-a-n-o-n]

I don't use BitTorrent
u-torrent works on every tracker.
What’s suddenly the problem here

[rayeemarc]

A workaround that works if no one offers better

[A-l-l-a-n-o-n]

it works again !!
WITH my old u-torrent !!
Finally, somebody has done a miracle :-)

[rayeemarc]

You're lucky
here still nothing

I also still cannot get any torrents to download!!!!
Please get this fixed - all other sites work fine.

Information from an expert:

"Bencoded data errors can only originate from the tracker's end. Cloudflare usage for a BitTorrent tracker is a very bad idea and will undoubtedly negatively impact many peers. It may require using a third-party program like FlareSolverr--which we do not support, but which should work--in order to get around their imposition."

The tracker is whitelisted for cloudflare. Meaning all tracker calls should be going through the site directly and not through cloudflare.
