The load on the server

Mogden whether the new version µTorrent Stable (2.0.4) to almost double the load on the torrent server?

The graph shows that traffic remained the same, but the number of hits on Apache grew. Number of visitors to the site has not changed

How many torrents on it have tracker.thepiratebay.org in them?

I do not know how you can watch (if they are there to remove)?

Our tracker http://animelayer.ru/

Yesterday greatly increased workload.

Ok, so your issue description isn't as clear as it needs to be.

You haven't told us enough information to identify the problem.

It's quite possible that the problem is on our side.

I asked informaatsiyu of load changes in http://rutracker.org/

If fears are confirmed, then blame the customer, because and the time and circumstances are the same.

Reporting in too.

Took me the whole afternoon debugging to finally find out what was going on.

Trying to re-generate the bug was difficult on my client. I noticed the tracker returned an error due to unknown torrent, but when I started an unkown torrent on my newly installed client it just worked perfectly.

But, I also noticed there's an IPv6 flag in the url, so I enabled ipv6 on my test-client (Windows 7 btw) and there it was. uTorrent spamming the tracker about every second. After disabling IPv6 again it still had the same problem.

To decrease the load on my server I've added the following to my apache configuration:

SetEnvIf User-Agent uTorrent\/2040\(21515\) GoAway=1

<Directory "/path/to/docroot">

Order Deny,Allow

Allow From All

Deny From env=GoAway

</Directory>

Because just disallowing the client didn't do the trick and still required executing the first set of php lines. But now, after the server returns forbidden to uTorrent it still keeps spamming.

Could specify where you have to disable ipv6 on the server or the client?

That was on the client. But after disabling, the problem still was there. Just wasn't before enabling it. (Maybe I still have to reboot, but really don't wanna )

A server-side Ipv6 is (included)? And then we have bears in Russia, and Ipv6 not:)

It seems that reason is the same

CPU load grows up in this 2 days, after new patch released . I have 3 torrent sites and everywhere i have the same problem with that .

Current 2.0.4 build pulled due to this issue. Being worked on.

Tracked this down to clients using 2.0.4.

It's no biggie as we handled the extra load without noticing any slowdowns or service interruptions, but gave me a bit of a scare

We fixed the bug and a new client will be out soon. 2.0.4 21431 was unaffected, only 21515 had the problem. Sorry about that guys.

We have a new build up. 21586. It is released and is currently being autoupdated.

21515 is the build with the problem, in case you need to block it from your tracker. The user-agent for the broken build is uTorrent/2040(21515)

Tnx for fast reply !

You'll wanna block uTorrent/2040(21515) on your webserver, since it'll take time for people to update away from it.
