It just keeps going as long as someone wants to download them. I have a few that are over 2000%

Grande Simoes (his OF in the watermark) is the black guy. The other is Blessed Boy. Both Brazilian.

@ethanjackman
If you haven't restarted your client since the problem with this site was resolved a week or so ago, doing so will help, at least it did for me.

@DirtyNick
No timed out connections for 24+ hours now. Seems to be fixed for me, finally.

@MrMazda
disabling IPv6 seems to be working for me. All ~250 torrents I am seeding are now showing a normal status - none are timed out. I'll check back in the morning and see if that's still the case.

Update: ~12 hours later, I'm back to 2/3 of the torrents timed out.

@eobox91103
Any special characters in file names? That has caused me problems in the past.

@Vincent9756 Restarted my client 8 hours ago or so. After an hour or so, most were connected, but now I'm back to 200 of 250 timed out. Not fixed.

@turlough
This morning 200/250 are showing as timed out. So not fixed.

@MrMazda
I restarted my client 2+ hours ago after I saw the notice, and it looked good for a while, but now I'm back to 200/250 torrents showing Connection Error - Timed Out.

@DirtyNick
Yeah, now I'm back to 160/250 timed out. I spoke too soon earlier.

@MrMazda
I just took a peek and it seems now only ~20 of ~250 torrents are timed out. Hopefully this a sign of things improving...

@raphjd
with all due respect, a number of people here have said they are only seeing it on this tracker. Personally, I am seeing nothing like this on the other 5 trackers I use regularly, and I've been seeing it here solid for 5+ days.

@vashkevron
I have seen behavior like you describe, but today, it's mostly about 5% OK / 95% timed out.
I'm going to see if adjusting some timer values (like increasing the timeout) makes a difference.

@frostycab

My BiglyBT says it's B3.5.0.0/4 az3. It has been at least a month since last update. Same with my O/S, router, etc.

Whatever is going on may well be something related to the source of the traffic; yours would be different from mine assuming you're not secretly my next door neighbor or something.

Others have mentioned this, but I see it also. Torrents will connect and be fine for a while when I start a new torrent, or if I restart my client, as many as 100 or so will connect fine for an hour or so. After refreshes, almost all of them end up showing a timed out connection. Currently: 21 OK, 327 timed out. Other trackers: 100s OK, none timed out.

Maybe there is something to @spiffyweasel-0's idea about overeager DoS protection.

@vashkevron
I have the same experience, from the US, for 4 days. I use BiglyBT/Vuse. 50-99% of everything from this site only shows as timed out. So that's at least three clients in multiple countries. It seems unlikely that everyone's ISPs, VPNs, etc. all started exhibiting this behavior at the same time.

I have hundreds of torrents from 6 trackers in this client, and only torrents from this tracker have issues.

@eobox91103

You can ignore specific groups as well. That solves most of my issues with clutter.

@sirtricksalo

I am seeing this also. Maybe an attack on the tracker?
