Didn't work for me :cry2:
Not if you disable the SSL tracker in your profile.
@vegas7uncut
Did you try to change the tracker in your torrent client properties of each file ?I has finally worked for me ! ;D I've tried everythnig before that, even change of torrent client…
Thanks a lot @MrMazda !
But will I have to change the tracker everytime from now ??
Given the way that torrents work, this is simply not possible. 
hey, mrmazda. i recant. i got the torrents working for a minute, just long enough to get seeders for my torrents. but now, all the settings i've tried with my vpn have failed, including the same settings that worked initially. nordlynx protocol, udp, tcp, obfuscated servers. i use qbittorrent and the error message says simply "not working" 0 peers. do you think resetting my passkey would fix this?
edit: i will try rebooting, thanks
Hi kyle09,
I use both qBittorrent and NordVPN as well and I still can't get torrents from this site to work unless I turn off NordVPN. I couldn't quite understand how you got yours to work. Any advice?
hey sorry for the late response. i haven't tested yet today. at first, all i did on nordvpn was change from NordLynx protocol to UDP and enabled Obfuscated servers. That worked for a while and then it didn't. Just a "not working" message on qBittorrent. So eventually what I did was disable the NordVPN very briefly, just long enough to catch a few seeders on qBittorrent. Exit qBittorrent, then connect to NordVPN and then the seeders will stay even though the tracker will say "Not Working"
edit: on nordVPN there is a setting called Custom DNS. I added 8.8.8.8 and 8.8.4.4 it's working now!!
This is actually really useful information. Thank you.
There is currently a known database issue affecting some users with the SSL tracker. Try turning the SSL tracker off in your profile settings.
As well, to change the torrents already in your torrent client from SSL to non-SSL change the beginning of the announce URL from
https://tracker.gaytorrent.ru/
to
It didn't work. As long as the VPN is activated, it would render the torrent, regardless of SSL, to be "Not Working."
Are you using NordVPN by any chance? For some reason we seem to have a lot of NordVPN users who have this problem.
how do you turn the SSL tracker off
and is this still a problem as I still cant seed
We just completed the database updates today, so it should be resolved. If it's not, then you can turn the SSL tracker off either by clicking "Profile" at the top of the page, disabling the SSL tracker, then saving the changes at the bottom of the page, then downloading the .torrent files again, OR you can disable it manually for each torrent already in your torrent client by changing the beginning of the tracker announce URL.
Change this:
https://tracker.gaytorrent.ru/
to this:
http://tracker.gaytorrent.tw:2710/
This will connect to the regular tracker, rather than the SSL tracker.

Have you tried turning off the SSL tracker?
Sorry to chime in so late… I just noticed this thread now.
What you describe is the #1 sign that you do not have the correct port forwarding settings on your network. You need to make sure that the port your torrent client uses to connect is forwarded through your home router and/or VPN to your computer, both in TCP, and in UDP. This is a critical, yet often overlooked step, necessary to get proper upload traffic with our tracker.
We have received a number of complaints from NordVPN users who are unable to connect to our site. This would appear to be something on the NordVPN side, which is dropping the connection before it reaches our servers for some reason. The reason for this is not currently known, however we are investigating it to figure out what exactly is happening and why connections through NordVPN do not seem possible currently.
When you click on a torrent, then click the "Trackers" tab, does it show an error message next to the tracker, and if so, what error message does it show?
It shouldn't affect freeleech. It will either affect everything or nothing.
No. Resetting your passkey won't fix the problem, and will only create a lot more work for you.
With there being no error, this is likely the sign of a timeout, which could mean that there is something further wrong that is going on.
Out of curiosity, what VPN do you use? I personally use PrivateVPN myself.
Lastly, I noticed you use qBitTorrent. Have you disabled or adjusted the settings for torrent queueing? This could be another part of the problem, depending on the number of torrents you have. If disabled, you should have no issue. If enabled to limit the number of simultaneous downloads, I would recommend that you change the maximum number of active torrents and maximum number of maximum uploads to 999. As strange as this may sound, this is often the cause of a lot of problems with qBitTorrent.
When the torrents stop working, do you see any kind of error message in the trackers tab on your torrent client, and if so, what is it?
It's possible that the issue could be related to a recent change to the system's back-end. If this is the case, you may be able to resolve this by rebooting your computer to flush your computer's DNS cache.
Earlier we were having problems with the servers. We should be back up and running now.
We were having server issues, which was preventing things from working. Everything should be back to normal now.
We were having problems with our tracker earlier, which was causing a lot of stuff to not work. The issue should now be resolved.
We were having issues with our tracker not working properly. The issue should now be resolved.
We were having server issues earlier, which may account for the problem. The link should work for you now.
I have one file that is seeding (almost 4GB now, and I am not being credited) but cannot download anything.
Your torrent client only updates with the tracker every 30 minutes. For this reason, you may see a delay in your stats updating. As long as you keep seeding your torrents, your stats should update.
