I think my ISP has blocked port 6969. Now what should I do?

Viper, you shouldnt start using port 80 though, its a software portmap and i dont think it can handle as much peers as port 6969 does.

(You can edit the tracker address in most BT clients)

Although at the time of this post, the tracker is indeed down.

EDIT: I take that back. I'm told it's just overloaded (that's what TG will do for 'ya, lol).

20.000 peers is a little too much

ill try to get more upload by replacing the modem sometime soon...

Hrm... I've been sitting on the latest topgear torrent for a few days now - I figured it might still be 'tracker overloaded' errors like some of you were describing... I'm still unable to start a download or talk to the tracker at all. Am I the only one or is anybody else seeing this?

(if I'm the only one I'm going to assume the network has blocked torrents upstream and I'll try and find another location to grab it from).

Lemme know!

Well, if you're using a good client (like uTorrent or Azureus), it'll automatically switch to the backup tracker or even use DHT if need be.

Hi and many thnaks for all guys for your work;
Someone can tell me if the tracker is ok now because can't connect?
Many thanks

Viper007Bond · July 21st, 2006, 02:26 AM

No, it's been down for over a month.

bigfoot1942 · July 22nd, 2006, 11:02 PM

i was discouraged because it kept crashing every two days or so.
I started it again today, lets see how it goes. Maybe i should just do a complete reinstall...
