hofshi Posted November 16, 2005 Report Share Posted November 16, 2005 Hi,First of all this client rocks! well done.since today, I am experiencing a problem on TBKResources torrent tracker site.The torrents that I downloaded/uploaded there, have the following in the "tracker status":Failure: This Client is Now Banned Please Change Clients!I don't know why they started to ban µtorrent today. I am using version 1.2.On the site, they posted the following:"Show/Hide Nov-16-05 - NewOk due to all of the requests about all of the 'ghost' leechers that are not showing up on the site we have taken the following actions uTorrent is now banned in the hope that this will stop this problem..their may be more client's banned added. But at this point it has dropped the level of the extra peers down...sorry if this has caused any problems for you, but we feel that it in the best interest for the community......Regards "can anyone explain this?I really would like to continue using µtorrent, and avoid switching back to Azureus.Thanks,Hofshi.

Firon Posted November 16, 2005 Report Share Posted November 16, 2005 There's already a thread about this.http://forum.utorrent.com/viewtopic.php?id=2407Considering this is the ONLY private site blaming µTorrent for the ghost leeches problem, I'm gonna go ahead and say it's a fault with the tracker, not µTorrent.

hofshi Posted November 16, 2005 Author Report Share Posted November 16, 2005 Thanks...It seems like the same problem, although I'm not sure that it's on the same site.(In the post you quoted, they don't reveal the site's name).Does anyone happen to know if this bug is being worked on?Thanks again,Hofshi Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Firon Posted November 16, 2005 Report Share Posted November 16, 2005 Whoops, they didn't reveal it there, but the discussion continued on the IRC channel and it was revealed there. We don't think there's a bug, and neither does the developer (ludde)we ran our own test and couldn't get peers from the tracker, and uTorrent respected the private flag.

hofshi Posted November 16, 2005 Author Report Share Posted November 16, 2005 This is good news.So is the site admin convinced, and is he going to let µtorrent back into the site? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Firon Posted November 16, 2005 Report Share Posted November 16, 2005 No idea if the tracker admin will allow µTorrent back. I guess only time will tell. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ares Posted November 16, 2005 Report Share Posted November 16, 2005 I used a private tracker that claims to block µTorrent with the new 1.2.1 beta last night. I think the beta might get around the block?-Ares Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ZzDr.Fred Posted November 16, 2005 Report Share Posted November 16, 2005 it is the same site, but I didn't feel it was important to bring the site out into the public especially when one of the top MODs was responding to the thread with info directly given to him from test he and the sysop conducted... anyway... anyway. hopefully this will all get sorted out!

DomZ Posted November 16, 2005 Report Share Posted November 16, 2005 Maybe we should get the admins of this site into IRC and do some testing together, sort the problem out once and for all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Firon Posted November 16, 2005 Report Share Posted November 16, 2005 Yeah, I thought of the same thing. I'm gonna go ask if they'd come onto the IRC channel and test with us. If not, at least to come on when ludde is around. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
