[SOLVED] torrent trackers are blocked

Postby morgano » Feb 24th, '15, 12:46

I try to share the mageia beta isos, but find the trackers do not respond. This have been going on for weeks.
I believe my ISP is blocking them, as other torrents like libreoffice are running OK.
It is good we have multiple trackers, but looking at the names of then, like "istole.it" i can understand why my ISP is blocking them.
I suggest we should use only well reputated trackers.
what about http://linuxtracker.org/ ?

The .torrent files were replaced a week or so ago. linuxtracker is included and is working for me. You could try replacing the .torrent files with the latest from the mirrors and re-loading them in your bittorrent client.

The original .torrent files are dated 13th February, the amended ones 19th February.

Thanks, now there are more trackers included, and three of them works for me right now.
However i do not find linuxtracker amongst them

You can also add a tracker yourself to the torrent ...

I'm using the .torrent files in the attachment to this email:
https://ml.mageia.org/l/arc/sysadmin-di ... 00029.html
I had assumed (wrongly it seems) that they are the same as the ones that tmb later uploaded to the mirrors.
