TRACKER (Problems and Solutions)

Are you under attack again? I've been getting tracker timeouts all day. My ISP is not blocking anything - I can get to other trackers and leach and seed at will on any other torrent I've tried today.

What is the tracker's IP? It is resolving as 89.149.226.119. Is that correct?

There seems to be a problem with your nameservers as well. When I resolve through my own DNS I get this:

d-addicts.net. 13989 IN NS ns1.d-addicts.com.
d-addicts.net. 13989 IN NS ns2.d-addicts.com.

(Mine is just a forwarder, I am using my ISP's DNS servers to resolve)

When I resolve through another nameserver outside my ISP's network I get this:

d-addicts.net. 86400 IN NS ns1.addicts-seikai.net.
d-addicts.net. 86400 IN NS ns2.addicts-seikai.net.

Neither of the first two servers respond to queries. Since they are authoritative from my DNS server's POV, I am not getting name resolution.

So, something is amiss with the two nameservers as well as the tracker in the 89.149.0.0 network.

Denial of service attack, perhaps?

The only two reasons that come to mind for seeing two different NS's for the same forward zone are DNS misconfiguration and manipulation by third parties. Tonight I see the NS records for d-addicts,net as belonging to the two servers that were working last night, ns1 && ns2.addicts-seikai.net, and the references to ns1 && ns2.d-addicts.com are gone.

In any case, the intermittent availability of the tracker ceased shortly after I posted. It wasn't that it wasn't there or wasn't found, it just wasn't responding to more than one out of twenty of my SYN's. Someone with no life was probably mucking with it again.

Thanks for taking the time to look into it.

Well this is in regards to This Torrent

I don't know why it isn't registering on the Tracker... I didn't do anything different from previous releases... Just used uTorrent to create the Torrent... But it just won't register on the Tracker... So not too sure what the problem is..

I was able to seed it via DHT (uTorrent) but not directly to the Tracker for obvious reasons (UnRegistered).

I'm really confused here - this may not actually be a "Tracker" problem, cuz the more I read, the less I think I understand! Goggle eyes

I'm using the uTorrent (1.6.1) client, and for one of my files that I'm seeding, the share ratio on that is showing that I'm currently at .99 or so, but when I look at the peer status page on the torrent itself, it's saying next to my ip addy that my share ratio is 0.000. The other file I'm seeding is about the same ratio on uTorrent, and on THAT file, it's showing a nice "perfect" next to my addy. Am I doing something wrong on my end that for some reason it's not registering on the BNBT tracker that I'm seeding? Or is the BNBT peer status list not really a tracker?

I got some screen caps so I know I'm not crazy, but I can definitely see that I'm seeding in uTorrent with a "perfect" ratio, right next to another file that says I'm totally not! *so lost* I just don't want other ppl to think I'm not sharing! I am!!!

Just FYI.

I just found out that if the torrent client is DHT enabled, the connection to tracker will fail , thus resulting in no downloads. I had this problems for days which I had no idea why.

So disable DHT if you have problems downloading. (for utorrent, if your icon is "RED arrow down" , u have a tracker connection issue which maybe linked to the DHT )

Hidden:

EDIT: Never mind. I have just found out that the torrent doesn't need to have the same name as the file folder (didn't know that before). I will create a new one with another name and upload it. Yet you can delete the other torrents if they are still around somewhere Smile

I tried to read through this thread, but not sure where my problem fits in. Never used to have this problem, but been experiencing it for a couple of days now--

So I'm seeding 2 torrents. When the d-addicts tracker updates, it goes "offline (timed out)". The ports are forwarded fine. A quick fix I found is to exit my client (BitTorrent) and open it again, and all goes well (arrows pointing up are green again) up until the next tracker update when then arrows turn red and I stop seeding.

Any info on this problem is appreciated! Apologies in advance if this has been addressed before and I didn't get it (I'm slow Sad

). Thanks.
