Tracker: [Couldn't connect to server]

npharris212

Hi. I've been using GT.RU for years without trouble. The last 12 months I have been using a seedbox, also without trouble. I had several leeching/seeding torrents running overnight and, as of this morning I am getting a tracker error - "Couldn't connect to server". I tried with newly downloaded torrents and get the same error. Torrents connecting to trackers other than GT.RU work fine. Assistance is appreciated.

The tracker does appear to be down. I am sure that staff are trying to sort this. All my GTRU torrents are red, too. Perhaps this is just a seedbox problem?

I have a seedbox and Utorrent running on my PC, and GayTorrentRU are red and stopped everywhere…and they show me uploading and downloading 0...so they have a tracker problem!

I am having the same issue. Hopefully it isn't down for too long.

Guys, we seem to have some tech difficulties. Please bear with us and the problem should be rectified as soon as possible.

It is odd, however, that on the main torrent page the torrents still seem to have numbers next to seeders and leechers. Normally when the tracker is down, those numbers would go to 0 while that is the case?

Dax

This is caused by residual seeding. Really low speeds something like zero point something kbps. It's not actual seeding.

Love and hugs to all you guys who make gaytorrent.ru the best sites of 'em all!

Well, at GT.net when the tracker goes down, the numbers go to 0, even if the torrents are still actually connected and seeding/leeching. No doubt, a subtlety in the way the two sites collect and record stats.

The seeding/leeching will not contribute to stats if you stop/restart the torrents while the tracker is down, but the stats ought to pick up fine if you leave the torrents as they are, once the tracker is online again and reporting picks up. People should just leave the torrents - stopping or restarting while the tracker is down may cause misreporting problems in our clients when the tracker comes back online again.

glad to hear I am not alone and that it is a malfunction that folks are working on.

The problem is solved now. Gradually all torrents will be running smoothly! :cheers:
