PASSKEY Info : https://www.gaytor.rent/faq.php#16
OVERVIEW :
What's a 'passkey'?
A passkey is a key associated with your account that uniquely identifies you as a gaytor.rent user.When a .torrent file is downloaded from your account, the passkey is automatically added to the announce URL in the .torrent file. Therefore whenever that .torrent is used the tracker will associate it with your account, no matter what IP you are connecting from.
Make sure you keep your passkey and .torrent files private at all times.
Do not give .torrent files you downloaded at gaytor.rent to someone else, do not upload it to other websites! Everybody connecting to the tracker using your .torrent file will leech from your account!How do I reset my passkey?
Go to your page and request a new passkey. Note that by using this you will invalidate all the .torrent files that you may have previously downloaded, and will have to download them again.
Just for further clarity, you request a new passkey via your 'Profile' page by clicking your username in the top-right and then selecting 'Profile'.
There's a checkbox to 'Reset passkey' a few lines above 'Browse default categories' section.
I just checked the box and hit Submit Changes at the bottom.
Hope it works for you too

@ryan0202012 ...
resetting PASSKEY is not a solution ...
it will revert to Timed Out status or updating after a period of time ... [a system glitch]- so do not reset your PASSKEY if you haven't done so far ...
It's coming from the site, regardless of client ...
However not all of us aren't affected yet ...
Hoping the SYSOP can figure out what's goin' on ... -
@MrMazda
I just took a peek and it seems now only ~20 of ~250 torrents are timed out. Hopefully this a sign of things improving... -
@tnar ...
Fortunately It's fine right now ...
I just exited my client restarted PC and client and observe, all the active torrent [Tracker] updated immediately ...
So this issue occurs when maintenance happen, seems like a leftover bug ...
I'm pretty sure this Timed Out will Go Away [soon] and not to annoy again ... -
Each day varies for me. One day its all working, the next only few.
-
@DirtyNick
Yeah, now I'm back to 160/250 timed out. I spoke too soon earlier. -
@DirtyNick ...
yeah it's a system bug, right now it started all over again so there is no point ...
I did shut down my client, there on period and time out ...

It is good that the issue has been acknowledged finally.
Besides the immediate fix, it would be very useful if the admins could come up with one or more steps to more conclusively determine that the server/tracker is at fault in the future. Anything that avoids the unnecessary tug-of-war that transpired over the last 2 weeks as we tried to convince folks that there is a problem with the tracker and not with individual user clients.
Regrettably, some users ended up resetting their passkeys in the false hopes of a quick fix - another thing that could have been avoided by a quicker acknowledgement of the issue than the 10 days it took here.
-
Did they really fixed it? Having issues still at the moment. Is it because I reset my passkey the other day?
-
@DirtyNick same here, nothing has been resolved yet. Since you reset your passkey, you'll need to redownload every torrent to start seeding again.
-
@spiffyweasel-0 Done but still having issues.
-
@DirtyNick Have you restarted your torrent client?
-
@MrMazda
I restarted my client 2+ hours ago after I saw the notice, and it looked good for a while, but now I'm back to 200/250 torrents showing Connection Error - Timed Out. -
@DirtyNick By restart you mean exit and then launch again then yeah
-
"TRACKER CONNECTION ERROR: CONNECTION TIMEOUT"
I restarted torrent client so many times. But still timing out. Zero peers connected. Anyone else having issue?
-
I tried again but this time using a VPN at a US(Atlanta) location and suddenly everything is running again. I'm scared to dc now so im gonna stay on and will update again if running without VPN is the issue.
-
@darkeden-0 I was able to connect without using VPN. but took me almost an hour or so before all my torrent worked. One by one they just started to connect.
-
Same problem for me... only 402 of 800-something are connected
