      Please look for the "hosts" file, if there are lines for gaytorrent.ru or .tw . If yes, remove the lines with gaytorrent. ONLY these, nothing else!

      Mac OSX / GNU Linux:
      For that, in the Terminal type:

      sudo nano /etc/hosts

      It will ask for your admin password…

      Make the changes and press: ctrl-x, Y and finally Enter to save

      Windows XP, Vista and 7:
      1/ In the Start menu select Accessories > right click on Notepad and select to start as administrator
      2/ In the Notepad select File > Open > navigate to C:/ > Windows > System32 > drivers > etc
      3/ Select in Notepad to show all files bottom right instead .txt files only, open the hosts file you'll see

      If you see entries for gaytorrent.ru, gaytorrent.tw and gtru.net, just delete those lines.

      Save the file, which will only possible if you opened notepad with right mouse click as administrator as said upstairs.

      ATTENTION: Do NOT touch any other entries, wrong manipulation may result in loosing internet navigation.

      Remark: A member reported that his anti-virus software was preventing him to change the hosts file and he had to temporary disable the real-time protection.
      Edit: Added Joker's reply to this instructions for Mac OSX. Added remark about AntiVirus.

          Haven't been able to connect or download for a few days now. I have went through and did what was found above, this is what I have when I follow what was said above.

          185.30.164.12 tracker.gaytorrent.tw

          I then closed out my utorrent program, and then relaunched it, as well I have also tried deleting the torrents in the que that read finding peers, and then reloaded them, as well I have tried to download a few new torrents as well. Still all read "finding peers". Not sure what else to do.

            # 185.30.164.12 tracker.gaytorrent.tw

            or delete that line, but only that line!

              Sorry, but not finding any of this information useful.  Been over a week since ! last download from GT.  Today all trackers for files I'm trying to download say: offline (timed out).  Have cleared my DNS cache, reset modem, re opened uTorrent, updated trackers, but still no luck.

              Can anybody explain how to fix this to a non tech savvy person??

                @Popper:

                It should be

                185.30.164.12 tracker.gaytorrent.tw

                or delete that line, but only that line!

                Not sure what that means exactly. But that's the only line that is in the hosts file

                  # 185.30.164.12 tracker.gaytorrent.tw

                  or delete that line, but only that line!

                    Please look to my earlier post about changing the hosts file entries, if there are any for gaytorrent:

                    Mac OSX / GNU Linux:
                    For that, in the Terminal type:

                    sudo nano /etc/hosts

                    It will ask for your admin password…

                    Make the changes and press: ctrl-x, Y and finally Enter to save

                    Windows Vista and 7:
                    1/ In the Start menu select Accessories > right click on Notepad and select to start as administrator
                    2/ In the Notepad select File > Open > navigate to C:/ > Windows > System32 > drivers > etc
                    3/ Select in Notepad to show all files bottom right instead .txt files only, open the hosts file you'll see

                    If you see entries for gaytorrent.ru and gtru.net, just put an # sign in front of them or delete those line.

                    Save the file, which will only possible if you opened notepad with right mouse click as administrator as said upstairs.

                    ATTENTION: Do NOT touch any other entries, wrong manipulation may result in loosing internet navigation.

                            Same than Vista and 7. Actually it is even simpler, because the it works even without the "run as administrator" (less secure OS).
                            I've added XP to the list of Windows systems.
