@ricky Thanks for the reply...I found that the SSL announce box was checked...I've been using the system for years...and I can only assume that updates had a default and changed this in the last few weeks or days
My system has been working very well for years...
I looked at the torrents and found they ALL (even years old torrents) now have an "https" tracker with a ".ru" extension BUT the new tracker has a "http" with a ".tw" extension....so all 200 of the active older torrents are now broken...I'm really disappointed and I may try to tackle updating the files...
I grabbed a few new files and they are working as usual...

new and previous downloaded torrents are not working. When I check the tracker status on BitTorrent all of them now show Not Working...I can download the torrent file but thats all...no updates have been added to my mac in weeks...
Things were running normally...
My dashboard even shows 0/0 active shares and downloads...I have over 300 .ru torrent shared...
Please help...
Yes - I am able to download and upload from other torrent sites

OK staff and admin this is really getting to be a problem…Uploads are being labeled with BAREBACK category to get clips downloaded and users are being misled and wasting space downloading a clip they did not want or would not have downloaded...
Its time to either warning the uploader and removing the clip or set a system in place to allow a user to be reported by the community and the clip be removed for misleading the community...
It s a great space for all of us to enjoy and share the porn we want but I also think the studios will start to come after the system for misrepresenting as well as the sharing of their property ... SO Im not just complaining Im trying to get you to see that this is a real issue...
I hope you take this seriously and act on it...
Misleading the community should be grounds for a ban or at least a timeout...
