@MrMazda:
Also, take into account the fact that port forwarding is CRITICAL for our tracker. If the port your torrent client uses is not forwarded through your router or VPN to your computer, both in TCP and UDP, you will have a plethora of troubles trying to get any upload traffic, especially if there are other active and connectable peers in the pool.
I cannot stress the importance of this enough.
Port forwarding really doesn't have anything to do with any tracker, and it's extremely rare nowadays that someone would have to port forward. Unless you are playing certain high-end internet games that require it.
