Tracker offline?

[indecisive]

The Gaytorrent.ru tracker just stopped working for me out of the blue also. Maybe about 2 weeks ago, still not working… Very frustrating.

Deluge is giving me the Tracker error:
gaytor.rent: Error: The network connection was aborted by the local system

I can't seem to find any solution to this anywhere... Any ideas anyone?

Note: updating to the non-ssl tracker http://tracker.gaytorrent.tw:2710/ has worked for some torrents but not all.
Some work, and others give me the mesage:
gaytorrent.tw: Error: A connection attempt failed because the connected party did not properly respond after a period of time, or established connection failed because connected host has failed to respond

It would be good to work out why the proper ssl tracker stopped working for some of us though…

@MrMazda:

@lmssc:

how do you turn the SSL tracker off
and is this still a problem as I still cant seed

We just completed the database updates today, so it should be resolved. If it's not, then you can turn the SSL tracker off either by clicking "Profile" at the top of the page, disabling the SSL tracker, then saving the changes at the bottom of the page, then downloading the .torrent files again, OR you can disable it manually for each torrent already in your torrent client by changing the beginning of the tracker announce URL.

Change this:

https://tracker.gaytor.rent/

to this:

http://tracker.gaytorrent.tw:2710/

This will connect to the regular tracker, rather than the SSL tracker.

Thank you. Changing the tracker worked for me.

Im using a Seedbox (Pulsedmedia) and my torrents arent downloading/seeding either.

As it's a seedbox I cant change the IP address.

Any ideas? Thanks

Thanks, it worked for me too. All torrents are running, except a single one which got deleted in the meantime.

I checked the date and time as that is a common fault for SSL, but it is dead on.

Another thing that should be noted is that some users (especially ones who use NordVPN) need to use Google DNS to make things work. If you're using NordVPN, enable the custom DNS setting and use 8.8.8.8 and 8.8.4.4 as your DNS servers.

[Douseikekkon]

Nothing works for me: unchecking the SSL, modifying the tracker, updating Transmission from 2.94 to 3.00…
At this very moment, I have quitted Transmission but the site continues to state that I have 276 uploads running.

The tracker's been 99% down for 2 days for me.  My client will occasionally seed for a few seconds, but downloads are not occuring at all. It's like this regardless of whether or not my VPN is running. My client runs 24/7 & I'm seeding 596 torrents, downloading 10 but my stats on this page say 0 up & 0 down.

[MrMazda]

Based on a number of user reports, users who are running Transmission 3.0 are having no end of difficulty with the tracker. As well, users who are using NordVPN have also reported that they are unable to connect to the tracker as well.

When you do try to connect and seed or leech a torrent, is there an error message that you're getting from the tracker, and if so, what is the error message?

I am having the same problem I use surfshark vpn and µTorrent.

I'm back to v. 2.94 and, surprisingly, things look back to normal (crossing fingers…).

I've never had error message per se. But the “announce” process was failing for most torrents:
• sometimes being delayed by 2 hours, again and again;
• sometimes the inspector window showing “announce en cours” (announce waiting) indefinitely.

Also, the number of active torrents seen by the site would appear ridiculously low; I'm seeding several hundreds (now 473) but the site would see only a tiny fraction of that.

(The attached picture reflects the back to normal situation.)

It just says "Could not connect to tracker"

IT WORKED!!! sorry for my english.. so everytime i download a torrent I have to change the tracker?

[Daftken]

I thought it was an issue on my side! I can seed but download doesn't seem to be working

[Girakai]

I can download but I can't seed, and I seem to have tried most of the advice in this thread, including disabling the ssl tracker, editing existing torrent trackers to include http://tracker.gaytorrent.tw:2710/ before announce, updating the DNS, rolling back transmission, bouncing around to different VPN endpoints. I'm hoping to be able to get back to seeding/sharing soon

[zannor]

Still not working for me. I'm using the updated tracker but with Bigly or Deluge and I have set my dns to google and cloudflare. But all I get is "Error: Timeout".  I tried using tunnelbear and that seemed to work, but I generally don't use a vpn. I saw that some ips are being blocked because of the ddos attack. Is there any way to get my ip whitelisted?

nvm tunnelbear nolonger working

…aaaand it worked for a second then stopped working. I changed the tracker to the old url, then back to the new one, and a torrent started downloading, then stopped. I'm just going to assume the issues are persisting and hope they get fixed. Thanks for your hard work!  :dick:

[pleniluniosx]

Still  not working for me. Im using a Seedbox and my torrents arent downloading/seeding. I cant change the IP address.

[winter]

same here, been having issues on and off for weeks.

[subway1]

On my end it started to work yesterday (TM3 client), now all torrents work fine with the default https://tracker.gaytor.rent/ tracker.

[Achro2]

Not working here either (qBittorent).

Tried the tips already (also was already using the regular tracker).

[tempdownload]

I'm using Transmission 3.0 and all torrents still say cannot connect to tracker
