<![CDATA[Have I been kicked off the tracker?]]>Hi,

Please can anybody explain if the tracker is down? I tried downloading a new torrent but my client (qbittorrent 4.62) said skipping tracker announce (unreachable).

I have tried switching to another VPN server, restarted my client and restarted my computer. Now none of my torrents are connecting (same message as above).

I have tried forcing reannounce to no avail. My torrents using other trackers are connecting and downloading / uploading no problem. I am pinging the tracker and getting 97% packets received.

What have I done wrong? Have I been banned?

We have fixed the issue and everything should now be back up and running...

@BKisalive No... You will never be kicked for using freeleech torrents. They're the one torrent you can still download even if your download rights are disabled.

Personally it'll be staying on here as I download TV shows from the bays of pirates. 😏

That helped keep my torrents uploading last night.
Now that certificates have been updated, I re-enabled "Validated HTTPS tracker certificates" and restarted my qBittorent.
Is there anything else I should do?
And are there any security concerns from the temporary solve?

All of my torrents just started working again. Looks like the SSL certificate has been updated.

Thanks for the info Gregoid, just checked and the same for me, so looks like things are getting back on track and fixed. 🙂

Much appreciate any help.

Obviously this is temporary until things are resolved.

The download is impossible, the upload has no errors whatsoever. Waiting for it to be solved soon

This all happened during a small outage so it took me forever to figure out what the issue actually was.

I see seeding is fine but downloading is impossible (for me at least.)

Hopefully this is sorted out soon, but thank you for the temporary fix. 🙂

That totally worked! Just hope it is announced when everything is fixed so I know when to turn it put it back.

@BKisalive I've been getting "certificate verify failed" errors on all my torrents, starting sometime today. It appears the SSL certificate for their tracker has expired. Hopefully they'll get it fixed soon. I am however still seeding, but cannot start a new download.

I'm seeing this also.
