hermanm Posted August 22, 2008 Report Share Posted August 22, 2008 Is anyone else having difficult connecting to open.tracker.thepiratebay.org? I wasn't seeing any issues until the last few builds. TPB says their tracker is running just fine. I am using 1.8 from at least three different locations (same difficulty connecting to TPB tracker) so I think I have eliminated the possibility of ISP specific throttling or interference.

thelittlefire Posted August 22, 2008 Report Share Posted August 22, 2008 It's all the same tracker... Do you get the same problems with EZTV? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
slipstream Posted August 22, 2008 Report Share Posted August 22, 2008 Is anyone else having difficult connecting to open.tracker.thepiratebay.org?I suppose everybody have and it's not related to uTorrent version. Check it with your browser http://open.tracker.thepiratebay.org/scrape <-- would fail with "Connection timed out"http://tpb.tracker.thepiratebay.org/scrape <-- would respond with ~40mb file Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hermanm Posted August 22, 2008 Author Report Share Posted August 22, 2008 > It's all the same tracker... Do you get the same problems with EZTV?No problems with EZTV. The seeder & leecher counts are different on the different trackers. How do you know they are all the same tracker? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thelittlefire Posted August 22, 2008 Report Share Posted August 22, 2008 Last time I played with their stuff all the trackers ending in .tracker.thepiratebay.org had the same peercounts for the same INFOHASHes. I guess they could have disabled an announce URL, you look at their blog/site/forum? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
slipstream Posted August 31, 2008 Report Share Posted August 31, 2008 (from beta thread)> Not related to any bittorrent client at all. This tracker is just downHow would you know if the tracker is working or not? Web browser check has nothing to do with tracker availability.I still think its a client issue but no one wants to look at it!Ops. Seems you just don't know what they are. Web browsers are using same tcp and same http protocols as bittorrent clients/trackers. Only the transferred content differs.Ok, let's check that tracker in a more nerdish way.$ whois open.tracker.thepiratebay.org|grep "Name Server"Name Server:NS0.THEPIRATEBAY.ORGName Server:NS1.THEPIRATEBAY.ORGName Server:NS2.THEPIRATEBAY.ORGName Server:NS3.THEPIRATEBAY.ORG$ dig +short open.tracker.thepiratebay.org @NS0.THEPIRATEBAY.ORG77.247.176.134$ telnet 77.247.176.134 80telnet: Unable to connect to remote host (77.247.176.134): Connection refusedThat's it - tracker refuses connections on the default http port.

hermanm Posted August 31, 2008 Author Report Share Posted August 31, 2008 thanks for the clarification. it seems I was wrong. I didn't realize you can use infohash as part of the URL. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ultima Posted August 31, 2008 Report Share Posted August 31, 2008 Not really sure how people never noticed how unreliable TPB's trackers are until now, anyhow. As far as I remember, their trackers are always up and down sporadically. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
slipstream Posted August 31, 2008 Report Share Posted August 31, 2008 UltimaSeems the main problem is that "TPB Crew" never noticed as well. At least they do not care.http://suprbay.org/showthread.php?p=189698#post189698 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
