@harry76 For your ISP, it becomes more of a legal protection. No ISP wants to be known as the ISP that allows copyright infringement on their network. In the case of a user who gets a multitude of requests, this obviously increases the risk that the copyright troll can start litigation against the provider for allowing such activity on their network. I personally do not use a VPN when logging into the site just to browse or use the forums, however on the machine that I use for the actual torrent traffic, I absolutely use a VPN. I know that in the DPI state of Canada, my ISP can most definitely see what I'm doing behind the VPN, however it is not my ISP I am worried about. It's more of a protection so that nothing attaches my actual IP address to any torrent traffic so that my actual IP address does not appear in the peers pool. This way, my ISP can most definitely still see what I'm doing, but potential copyright trolls cannot tie my identity to any specific torrent. The other added benefit of using a VPN is that if I do hit on a torrent that is being monitored by copyright trolls, they'll have to approach my VPN provider for further information, however my VPN provider has a strict no logging policy, so they are not able to disclose information that they do not actually have. This saves me from having my ISP account tied to any of the torrents I may have active at any given time, which both protects me from being tied to the torrent, and also stops my ISP from receiving any potential notice. It is generally assumed that although in a DPI state such as Canada that the big players to the market can see what kind of traffic you have going even through the VPN, they typically do not give a damn what you're actually doing, as long as they don't have copyright holders knocking on their door with infringement claims. That said, depending on where you are in the world, it may be a wise idea to use the VPN even when logging into the site, just to make sure that even the sites themselves cannot tie your actual IP address to your account. This is particularly helpful if the security of the site or its staff are compromised somehow. A person may be able to tie the VPN IP to different torrents, and may even be able to tie your VPN IP to your account, but if they are not able to sniff out your actual IP address, then the link they need to get your subscriber information is missing, thereby making the VPN IP address a dead end (assuming that your VPN provider has a no logging policy).

With them being down, are there other alternatives? I know there are g-t.net and ourgtn. Any others?

@frostycab Yes, my bad. I read the thread title carelessly before I posted in it. If a mod could move all posts starting with my previous one to a new thread, that would preserve the information that's been shared here in its proper place. Edited: Never mind. Someone has already created a separate thread.

If anyone wants an invite to ourGTN, please PM me with an email address I can send it to.

@frostycab im looking for tv/movies/music/audiobooks all of it. Something reliable. Those two were the ones suggested to me by AI

So now, pretty much every part of our server has been replaced and it seems stable again but we'll keep a close on eye on things. We have also had to roll back to a backup of the site that was a day old so it's possible some posts and new members might have disappeared. Please let me know if you have any problems. Thanks once again to the friendly GTR crew for allowing us to post these updates

qBittorrent It works for me very nicely. Former ones I used: uTorrent Deluge

@john32123666 It's quite simple... ourGTN is ourGTN.org sometimes just called GTN for short.

@lololulu19 said in Other private trackers?: In many countries outside of the USA, copyrights are completely ignored. I give up....

@Kekkaishi There's your problem. Your torrent client is reporting that you are using port 64789, so either you have to change the port number in your torrent client or in your router and make sure that your computer has a static IP address on your home network. This can either be done in the router itself in the DHCP settings by binding the MAC address to an IP address, or can be done on your computer locally. If you take the latter option, you need to make sure that the static IP address you assign your computer is OUTSIDE the DHCP range. I cannot stress that enough.

Okay so I see that it goes beyond nudes but isn't some of them porn already? https://www.tumblr.com/nothing-but-lust?redirect_to=%2Fnothing-but-lust&source=content_warning_wall I think they are not lenient about it. It's just gonna be up to the user to go beyond the Warning Wall. Do they mean just no serious fucking? Should porn lovers rejoice that Tumblr Porn is back?

@ianfontinell said in Don’t Feed Copyright Trolls: Canadian Court Urged to Protect Internet Users: billpayer lol I find their use of the words "billpayer", "duty" and "enabler" sarcastically funny.

@carabuddy torrents will only count as completed if you select all files and download 100% of the torrent. If you leave anything unselected, after you finish downloading the torrent client will show it as seeding but it will still be occupying a download slot on GT server. All your downloaded/uploaded amounts will still count as usual, there's nothing to worry about. But if you do it too many times eventually you'll run out of download slots. Just to be clear, not a qbittorrent problem, and not even a problem at all, that's just how private trackers work.

I recommend Flud, it's very minimalistic and has a clean interface, very easy to use and has all the features one would expect from a mobile torrent app, it's fully compatible with magnet links.

@bi4smooth @Mrker1234 thanks for the responses guys. i guess im good. talked to a friend of mine as well and he said long as the client is asking and im not accepting the cert im fine
