"I just want to say I was thrilled to find Judge Judy torrents, but very disappointed that I was unable to get any of them because DHT wasn't allowed. The few that actually managed to partially download, stopped on me with a comment: (bugs in uTorrent 1.8, downgrade to 1.7 for it to download). So I did as it suggested. The torrent partially downloaded then stopped with this comment: (downgrade to version 1.6). Sounds like I might have to keep downgrading to a different version of uTorrent before it will download? That doesn't make any sense. Any solutions?? "

"May I use any BitTorrent client?" (Last Update : Nov 14, 2008)

"No!"

These are the torrent clients we accept:

uTorrent 1.6.1 Build 490 and 1.7.7.0 only, 1.8.0.0 has reports of bugs with our tracker, it has been banned as of Sep 19, 2008

Azureus 2.5.0.4, 3.0.5.2, and 3.1.1.0

Transmission/0.94

You can get 1.6.1 version 490 here: http://www.filehippo.com/download_utorrent/2253/

Have you actually turned off DHT? you must do so to download here..

Also a note on DHT.

DHT is not allowed on private trackers for 1 simple reason. It allows you to share the torrent with users that are not registered to this site.

So your stats would not track properly and you would therefore not be able to maintain a ratio.

You will find that DHT is not allowed at any reputable private site.

"Uh... What is the big fuss about DHT? Sounds like you are a public tracker person. DHT is not allowed and Sycoe said it will connect you to people not on this site. So when it shows u uploaded 20 gig on that torrent it will report to our tracker as say 200mb which in turn you will be complaining that your stats are wrong."

Hope you get the point.

"LOL....yes, I guess I am a public tracker person."

"So let's see if I got this straight....if i were to download a torrent from this web site, and I seed it back, it will only seed to this site as a private tracker?"

In the meantime, I'll try one of the clients "Bowser" suggested.

"U got it right. Download something from here and then you will seed only to members from Torrents R Mine".

Ok, so they recommend downgrading to versions with CONFIRMED security holes that get no support from the developers anymore?

"Uh... What is the big fuss about DHT? Sounds like you are a public tracker person. DHT is not allowed and Sycoe said it will connect you to people not on this site.

Do they have proof of this?

We don't support anything other than the current stable and current beta. If the bugs can be reproduced, we want steps so they can be fixed.

If they can't it's a site issue.

The site isn't worth your time.

If it's dynamically changing the tracker status error message ... be advised.

ESPECIALLY if they're offering the supported uT versions. If they don't want the official support to handle uT problems, continually ask them there... maybe someone will see reason. If not, see first statement :/
