Welcome to TorrentBytes!

Our goal is not only to live up to the legacy of our former community and carry on the legacy left by RedBeard, but to create a better community for the benefit of all. Our goal is to provide the absolute latest stuff. Therefore, only specifically authorized users have permission to upload torrents. If you have access to 0-day files do not hesitate to contact us!

This is a private tracker, and you have to register before you can get full access to the site. Before you do anything here at TorrentBytes; read the site rules! There are a few rules to abide by and we do enforce them!

Before you go any further; read the TorrentBytes user agreement.

Site information


What is this bittorrent all about anyway? How do I get the files?

Check out Brian's BitTorrent FAQ and Guide.


Where does the donated money go?

Torrentbytes is situated on two dedicated servers. All donated money goes towards our server costs, and is managed by our treasurer.


How can I donate ?

Either click the "Support Us, Donate"" icon found on the top right of every page, or alternatively click here.


Where can I get a copy of the source code?

The TorrentBytes source code isn't publicly available, but you can download a basic version of the code from tbdev.net.



User information

I registered an account but did not receive the confirmation e-mail!

Check your email spam filter settings and your spam folders. If you haven't recieved a confirmation email, contact the Staff via the IRC Support Channel.


I've lost my user name or password! Can you send it to me?

Please use this form to have the login details mailed back to you. You will be required to enter your Pin/Verification Code to recover your details.


I've lost my Pin/Verification Code, What should I do?

It is unfortunate if you do not have your PIN as we no longer give PIN recoveries. All members are forced to create their own (1 time only) after 9 October 2008. If you have lost it or do not remember it, you will not be able to change your email, password or passkey.


Can you rename my account?

Yes, but we do not do it. Please don't waste both our time by asking.


Can you delete my (confirmed) account?

Yes, but we do not do it. Please don't waste both our time by asking.
If you wish your account to be deleted, simply do not browse the site for 42 days.


So, what's MY ratio?

Click on your profile, then on your user name (at the top).

Providing you have the show userbar option checked in your profile then your ratio will be displayed on the top left corner of each page. Alternatively you will also find it displayed on your profile, which can be found here, then click on your user name (at the top of the page).

It's important to distinguish between your overall ratio and the individual ratio on each torrent you may be seeding or leeching. The overall ratio takes into account the total uploaded and downloaded from your account since you joined the site. The individual ratio takes into account those values for each torrent.

You may see two symbols instead of a number: "Inf.", which is just an abbreviation for Infinity, and means that you have downloaded 0 bytes while uploading a non-zero amount (ul/dl becomes infinity); "---", which should be read as "non-available", and shows up when you have both downloaded and uploaded 0 bytes (ul/dl = 0/0 which is an indeterminate amount).


How low can my ratio drop before I get disabled?

This is not something we are prepared to disclose as all members are encouraged to try and obtain a 1:1 ratio.


I received a Warning Low Ratio Message. How long do I have to improve my ratio?

We again won't disclose the details, just keep seeding and as your ratio climbs eventually the message will clear.


My account has been disabled. What do I do now?

If your account has been disabled and you do not know why, feel free to join the IRC Support Channel to find out why you were disabled.
Accounts disabled due to poor share ratio or confirmed cheating will not be re-enabled. Almost everything else can be discussed.


Why is my IP displayed on my details page?

Only you and the sites staff can view your IP address and email. Regular users do not see that information.

The IP shown on your active torrents is displayed so you can make sure nobody else is using your account.


Help! I cannot login!? (a.k.a. Login of Death)

This problem sometimes occurs with MSIE. Close all Internet Explorer windows and open Internet Options in the control panel. Click the Delete Cookies button. You should now be able to login.
Clearing browser cache and cookies should also fix the problem on other browsers.

Please be aware that if you have a dynamic IP address you will be required to login each time it changes, this doesn't effect any downloads or uploads you may have running only the browsing of the site.


Why am I listed as not connectable? (And why should I care?)

The tracker has determined that you are firewalled or NATed and cannot accept incoming connections.

This means that other peers in the swarm will be unable to connect to you, only you to them. Even worse, if two peers are both in this state they will not be able to connect at all. This has obviously a detrimental effect on the overall speed.

The way to solve the problem involves opening the ports used for incoming connections (the same range you defined in your client) on the firewall and/or configuring your NAT server to use a basic form of NAT for that range instead of NAPT (the actual process differs widely between different router models. Check your router documentation and/or support forum. You will also find lots of information on the subject at PortForward).

If you still can't manage to make yourself connectable, feel free to ask for help on our forums.

What are the different user classes?

  User   The default class of new members.
  Power User   Sexier than users. These users have more site features at their disposal.
  StarStarStarStarStarStar   Has donated money in order to TorrentBytes online.
  VIP   Is considered an Elite member of TorrentBytes, has Free Leech on all torrents, is immune from inactive account disablement. Have access to exclusive area on forums where some site rules do not apply. Some active enough users of lower classes are also given access as per staff decisions.
  Other   Custom title.
  Uploader   Same as VIP, with additional uploading rights.
  Moderator   Can edit and delete uploaded torrents. Moderates Forums, Torrent comments and disables accounts. These are the people you should contact first if you need to reach Staff.
  Staff Leader   Leads Moderators. Same privileges as Administrator. Be afraid, be very afraid.
  Administrator   Can't juggle. Other than that can do pretty much everything on site. You rarely need to PM them; Please contact Moderators instead.


How does this promotion thing work anyway?

  Power User   Must have been be a member for at least 4 weeks, have uploaded at least 25GB and have a ratio at or above 1.05.
The promotion is automatic when these conditions are met. Note that you will be automatically demoted from
this status if your ratio drops below 0.95 at any time.
  StarStarStarStarStarStar   A torrentbytes member who has donated towards the server costs.
  VIP   Assigned by staff at their discretion to users they feel contribute something special to the site.
(Anyone begging for VIP status will be automatically disqualified.)
  Other   Conferred by staff at their discretion (Again anyone begging will be automatically disqualified.).
  Uploader   Appointed by Staff Leaders or Admins (see the 'Uploading' section for conditions).
  Moderator   You don't ask us, we'll ask you!



Why can't my friend become a member?

The site userlimit is 50000 users. When the limit is reached we stop accepting new members.
Accounts are automatically deleted, so keep trying.
We do not have a reservation or queuing system, don't ask for that.
We do not have an invite system either, so don't ask for invites. You can't have one.


Do I have to use my account to remain a member?

If you do not log into your account for a period of time then it will be permanently deleted due to inactivity.
Unused accounts are pruned from the database at regular intervals, multiple times a day.
At the moment you need to use the site at least once every 6 weeks (or 42 days) in order not to get your account deleted.
Only SITE activity counts. Seeding, Leeching or RSS activity does not count!


I've got a seedbox, should I notify someone?
No. This does not change anything at our end, so we are not interested.

How do I add an avatar to my profile?

First, find an image that you like, and that is within the rules. Then you will have to find a place to host it, popular choices are Photobucket, Upload-It! or xs.to). All that is left to do is copy the URL you were given when uploading it to the avatar field in your profile.

Please do not make a post just to test your avatar. If everything is allright you'll see it in your details page.



Can I share my account with my friend?

Although we can't tell you implicitly what you may or may not do with your account, we highly advise against it. Don't complain to us if your 'shared' account gets stolen because the person you shared it with changed the password, email or leeched on it excessively and it has gotten disabled or is about to be disabled. So in answer to your question, it is not recommended. One person per account, per IP.


What do I get for donating?

You get a warm and fuzzy feeling inside, and the knowledge that you donation has been spent on keeping the site alive for a little longer.You also get a shiney icon next to your nick-name on the site, to show your friends and family how much you care about Torrentbytes.

Star  = 1 donation.
Star  = 2 - 3 donations.
Star  = 4 - 5 donations.
Star  = 6+ donations.
Star  = Total donation amount between 50 - 99 euros.
Star = Total donation amount of 100+ euros.

Is that it? Nothing else?

Yes, that's it. Just that. Donating to TorrentBytes will not entitle you to, amongst other things, receive upload credit, FreeLeech, Title, Immunity from accout deletions, nor is it a permission to break the site rules.
We will never support pay2leech on this site.



Site Features


What are the RSS feeds and how do I use them?

A RSS feed can be used to notify you when new .torrents are uploaded to the site, some torrent clients also have the ability to automatically download the .torrents and set them running in your client.
You can find the links to the feeds here and a tutorial on how to use them can be found here.

There is also a stand alone program you can use called tbnotify (for windows users) which has been developed for use here at TorrentBytes.


What is the weekly lottery?

The lottery gives all users and power users the oportunity to win free leech GB's for their account, everyone is automatically entered into the lottery draw by default but you can withdraw if you don't wish to be entered by altering the "lottery participation" section found on your profile settings page.

The draw is made every Sunday at 21:00 (GMT) and participation is 100% free.


What are the IRC channels and how can I join them?

The IRC channels are a place for members to hangout and chit-chat with each other, the main channel has a torrent announce bot which alerts you when something new has been uploaded without you having you continually check the site.

To join the channels you can follow the simple guide found here.


What is this Bookmark feature and how do i use it?

The bookmark feature is a way for you to bookmark both .torrents and forum threads so you can return to them at a later date without having to search.

Please be aware that this feature is only available to power users or above.

  • To bookmark a .torrent you just need to click "bookmark" link found on the details page of all .torrents.

  • To bookmark a forum thread you need to click on the icon that relates to the thread in question.

    You can view your bookmarks by clicking the icon contained within the userbar or by following this link


    What is Free Leech [FL]?

    If you see the FL text next to a torrent it means that the download amount for that torrent will not be added to your ratio, however you will still be credited with your upload amounts as per normal.


    What is a pre-time?

    The pre-time indicates the amount of time taken for the release to be pre'd on a topsite (released) to it being uploaded to the tracker.

    These are displayed on the browse page.


    What is the SSL download link and should I use it?

    SSL (Secure Sockets Layer) is the standard security technology for establishing an encrypted link between a web server and a browser. This link ensures that all data passed between the web server and browsers remain private and integral. SSL is an industry standard and is used by millions of websites in the protection of their online transactions with their customers.

    SSL only needs to be used if you are experiencing problems when trying to download torrents, the SSL will encrypt your connection with the torrentbytes servers leaving you free to download when you might previously have been blocked.


    Why can't other users see my upload & download stats?

    Your upload and download stats are hidden from all other members by default, however you can display them if you wish by following these simple instructions.

    Go to your profile settings page, and in the info box do the following...

    [showstats=all] (To display your stats the all members).
    [showstats=friends] (To display your stats to only the people on your friends list).


    Why does the NEW! tag not go away on Browse?
    Because you have not seen all the new uploads on your default categories since your last visit.
    To get the tag go away, simply scroll the Browse pages onwards untill there is a page that has a torrent without the tag or push the 'Catchup new tags" link on the right side of the Cateory selector.

    		•


    Stats


    Most common reason for stats not updating

    • The user is cheating. (a.k.a. "Summary Ban")
    • The server is overloaded and unresponsive. Just try to keep the session open until the server responds again. (Do not flood the server with consecutive manual updates.)
    • You are using a faulty or beta version of your client. If you wish to use client beta version you do so at your own risk.

    Best practices

    • If a torrent you are currently leeching/seeding is not listed on your profile, just wait or force a manual update.
    • Make sure you exit your client properly, so that the tracker receives "event=completed".
    • If the tracker is down, do not stop seeding. As long as the tracker is back up before you exit the client the stats should update properly.

    May I use any bittorrent client?

    Yes at this moment in time you may use any client (this may be subject to change in the future), but it is your responsibility to make sure you use a stable client version. We would recommend either uTorrent or Vuze.


    Why is a torrent I'm leeching/seeding listed several times in my profile?

    If for some reason (e.g. pc crash, or frozen client) your client exits improperly and you restart it, it will have a new peer_id, so it will show as a new torrent. The old one will never receive a "event=completed" or "event=stopped" and will be listed until some tracker timeout. Just ignore it, it will eventually go away.


    Multiple IPs (Can I login from different computers?)

    Yes, the tracker is now capable of following sessions from different IPs for the same user. A torrent is associated with the user when it starts, and only at that moment is the IP relevant. So if you want to seed/leech from computer A and computer B with the same account you should access the site from computer A, start the torrent there, and then repeat both steps from computer B (not limited to two computers or to a single torrent on each, this is just the simplest example). You do not need to login again when closing the torrent.




    Uploading


    Why can't I upload torrents?

    Only authorized members (Uploaders) have permission to upload torrents.


    What criteria must I meet before I can join the Uploader team?

  • You need to have genuine access to scene releases (files from other torrent sites or other p2p systems are not considered as sources).

  • You will need a minimum upload speed of 2Mbit for Music and Small apps, and a minimum of 10Mbit for all other files.

  • You will need to have a pre time of 24 hours or less.

  • Finally you will need to ensure your uploads remain seeded for 24 hours or until they have enough seeders to support themselves.


    • If you meet this criteria then please feel free to complete the uploader application form and a staff member will reply to you as soon as possible.


    Can I upload your torrents to other trackers?

    No. We are a closed, limited-membership community. Only registered users can use the TB tracker. Posting our torrents on other trackers is useless, since most people who attempt to download them will be unable to connect with us. This generates a lot of frustration and bad-will against us at TorrentBytes, and will therefore not be tolerated.

    Complaints from other sites' administrative staff about our torrents being posted on their sites will result in the banning of the users responsible.

    Also due to the amount of work our uploaders do creating new packs for torrentbytes, if you are found to be uploading these packs on other sites you risk your account being disabled.


    Downloading


    How do I use the files I've downloaded?

    Check out this guide.


    Downloaded a movie and don't know what CAM/TS/TC/SCR means?

    Check out this guide.


    Why did an active torrent suddenly disappear?

    There may be three reasons for this:
  • The torrent may have been out-of-sync with the site rules.

  • The uploader may have deleted it because it was a bad release. A replacement will probably be uploaded to take its place.

  • Torrents are automatically deleted after 42 days (Not including free leech packs which are deleted when they have no activity).



    • How do I resume a broken download or reseed something?

    Open the .torrent file. When your client asks you for a location, choose the location of the existing file(s) and it will resume/reseed the torrent.


    Why do my downloads sometimes stall at 99%?

    The more pieces you have, the harder it becomes to find peers who have pieces you are missing. That is why downloads sometimes slow down or even stall when there are just a few percent remaining. Just be patient and you will, sooner or later, get the remaining pieces.


    What are these "a piece has failed an hash check" messages?

    Bittorrent clients check the data they receive for integrity. When a piece fails this check it is automatically re-downloaded. Occasional hash fails are a common occurrence, and you shouldn't worry.

    Some clients have an (advanced) option/preference to 'kick/ban clients that send you bad data' or similar. It should be turned on, since it makes sure that if a peer repeatedly sends you pieces that fail the hash check it will be ignored in the future.


    The torrent is supposed to be 100MB. How come I downloaded 120MB?

    See the hash fails topic. If your client receives bad data it will have to redownload it, therefore the total downloaded may be larger than the torrent size. Make sure the "kick/ban" option is turned on to minimize the extra downloads.


    Why do I get a "rejected by tracker - Port xxxx is blacklisted" error?

    Your client is reporting to the tracker that it uses one of the default bittorrent ports (6881-6889) or any other common p2p port for incoming connections.

    TorrentBytesdoes not allow clients to use ports commonly associated with p2p protocols. The reason for this is that it is a common practice for ISPs to throttle those ports (that is, limit the bandwidth, hence the speed).

    The blocked ports list include, but is not neccessarily limited to, the following:

    Direct Connect
    411 - 413
    Kazaa
    1214
    eDonkey
    4662
    Gnutella
    6346 - 6347
    BitTorrent
    6881 - 6889

    In order to use use our tracker you must configure your client to use any port range that does not contain those ports (a range within the region 49152 through 65535 is preferable, cf. IANA). Notice that some clients, like Vuze, use a single port for all torrents, while most others use one port per open torrent. The size of the range you choose should take this into account (typically less than 10 ports wide. There is no benefit whatsoever in choosing a wide range, and there are possible security implications).

    These ports are used for connections between peers, not client to tracker. Therefore this change will not interfere with your ability to use other trackers (in fact it should increase your speed with torrents from any tracker, not just ours). Your client will also still be able to connect to peers that are using the standard ports. If your client does not allow custom ports to be used, you will have to switch to one that does.

    Do not ask us, or in the forums, which ports you should choose. The more random the choice is the harder it will be for ISPs to catch on to us and start limiting speeds on the ports we use. If we simply define another range ISPs will start throttling that range also.

    Finally, remember to forward the chosen ports in your router and/or open them in your firewall, should you have them. See the Why am I listed as not connectable?  section and links therein for more information on this.


    What's this "IOError - [Errno13] Permission denied" error?

    If you just want to fix it reboot your computer, it should solve the problem. Otherwise read on.

    IOError means Input-Output Error, and that is a file system error, not a tracker one. It shows up when your client is for some reason unable to open the partially downloaded torrent files. The most common cause is two instances of the client to be running simultaneously: the last time the client was closed it somehow didn't really close but kept running in the background, and is therefore still locking the files, making it impossible for the new instance to open them.

    A more uncommon occurrence is a corrupted FAT. A crash may result in corruption that makes the partially downloaded files unreadable, and the error ensues. Running scandisk should solve the problem. (Note that this may happen only if you're running Windows 9x - which only support FAT - or NT/2000/XP with FAT formatted hard drives. NTFS is much more robust and should never permit this problem.)


    What's this "TTL" in the browse page?

    The torrent's Time To Live, in hours. It means the torrent will be deleted from the tracker after that many hours have elapsed (yes, even if it is still active). Note that this a maximum value, the torrent may be deleted at any time if it's inactive.


    How can I improve my download speed?


    The download speed mostly depends on the seeder-to-leecher ratio (SLR). Poor download speed is mainly a problem with new and very popular torrents where the SLR is low.

    (Proselytising sidenote: make sure you remember that you did not enjoy the low speed. Seed so that others will not endure the same.)

    There are a few things that you can try on your end to improve your speed:


    Do not immediately jump on new torrents

    In particular, do not do it if you have a slow connection. The best speeds will be found around the half-life of a torrent, when the SLR will be at its highest. (The downside is that you will not be able to seed so much. It's up to you to balance the pros and cons of this.)


    Make yourself connectable

    See the Why am I listed as not connectable?  section.


    Limit your upload speed

    The upload speed affects the download speed in essentially two ways:
    • Bittorrent peers tend to favour those other peers that upload to them. This means that if A and B are leeching the same torrent and A is sending data to B at high speed then B will try to reciprocate. So due to this effect high upload speeds lead to high download speeds.
    • Due to the way TCP works, when A is downloading something from B it has to keep telling B that it received the data sent to him. (These are called acknowledgements - ACKs -, a sort of "got it!" messages). If A fails to do this then B will stop sending data and wait. If A is uploading at full speed there may be no bandwidth left for the ACKs and they will be delayed. So due to this effect excessively high upload speeds lead to low download speeds.
    The full effect is a combination of the two. The upload should be kept as high as possible while allowing the ACKs to get through without delay. A good thumb rule is keeping the upload at about 80% of the theoretical upload speed. You will have to fine tune yours to find out what works best for you. (Remember that keeping the upload high has the additional benefit of helping with your ratio.)

    If you are running more than one instance of a client it is the overall upload speed that you must take into account. Some clients (e.g. Vuze) limit global upload speed, others (e.g. Shad0w's) do it on a per torrent basis. Know your client. The same applies if you are using your connection for anything else (e.g. browsing or ftp), always think of the overall upload speed.


    Limit the number of simultaneous connections

    Some operating systems (like Windows 9x) do not deal well with a large number of connections, and may even crash. Also some home routers (particularly when running NAT and/or firewall with stateful inspection services) tend to become slow or crash when having to deal with too many connections. There are no fixed values for this, you may try 60 or 100 and experiment with the value. Note that these numbers are additive, if you have two instances of a client running the numbers add up.


    Limit the number of simultaneous uploads

    Isn't this the same as above? No. Connections limit the number of peers your client is talking to and/or downloading from. Uploads limit the number of peers your client is actually uploading to. The ideal number is typically much lower than the number of connections, and highly dependent on your (physical) connection.


    Just give it some time

    As explained above peers favour other peers that upload to them. When you start leeching a new torrent you have nothing to offer to other peers and they will tend to ignore you. This makes the starts slow, in particular if, by change, the peers you are connected to include few or no seeders. The download speed should increase as soon as you have some pieces to share.


    Why is my browsing so slow while leeching?

    Your download speed is always finite. If you are a peer in a fast torrent it will almost certainly saturate your download bandwidth, and your browsing will suffer. Most clients have features that allow you to limit the download and upload speeds.

    Browsing was used just as an example, the same would apply to gaming, IMing, etc...


    My ISP uses a transparent proxy. What should I do?


    Caveat: This is a large and complex topic. It is not possible to cover all variations here.

    Short reply: change to an ISP that does not force a proxy upon you. If you cannot or do not want to then read on.

    What is a proxy?

    Basically a middleman. When you are browsing a site through a proxy your requests are sent to the proxy and the proxy forwards them to the site instead of you connecting directly to the site. There are several classifications (the terminology is far from standard):

     Transparent   A transparent proxy is one that needs no configuration on the clients. It works by automatically redirecting all port 80 traffic to the proxy. (Sometimes used as synonymous for non-anonymous.)
     Explicit/Voluntary   Clients must configure their browsers to use them.
     Anonymous   The proxy sends no client identification to the server. (HTTP_X_FORWARDED_FOR header is not sent; the server does not see your IP.)
     Highly Anonymous   The proxy sends no client nor proxy identification to the server. (HTTP_X_FORWARDED_FOR, HTTP_VIA and HTTP_PROXY_CONNECTION headers are not sent; the server doesn't see your IP and doesn't even know you're using a proxy.)
     Public   (Self explanatory)

    A transparent proxy may or may not be anonymous, and there are several levels of anonymity.


    How do I find out if I'm behind a (transparent/anonymous) proxy?

    Try whatismyip.com. It checks the HTTP headers that the server where it is running received from you and should be able to tell you if you're using a proxy. The relevant ones are HTTP_CLIENT_IP, HTTP_X_FORWARDED_FOR and REMOTE_ADDR.


    Why am I listed as not connectable even though I'm not NAT/Firewalled?

    The TorrentBytes tracker is quite smart at finding your real IP, but it does need the proxy to send the HTTP header HTTP_X_FORWARDED_FOR. If your ISP's proxy does not then what happens is that the tracker will interpret the proxy's IP address as the client's IP address. So when you login and the tracker tries to connect to your client to see if you are NAT/firewalled it will actually try to connect to the proxy on the port your client reports to be using for incoming connections. Naturally the proxy will not be listening on that port, the connection will fail and the tracker will think you are NAT/firewalled.


    Can I bypass my ISP's proxy?

    If your ISP only allows HTTP traffic through port 80 or blocks the usual proxy ports then you would need to use something like socks and that is outside the scope of this FAQ.


    Otherwise you may try the following:
    • Choose any public non-anonymous proxy that does not use port 80 (e.g. from this, this or this list).
    • Configure your computer to use that proxy. For Windows XP, do Start, Control Panel, Internet Options, Connections, LAN Settings, Use a Proxy server, Advanced and type in the IP and port of your chosen proxy. Or from Internet Explorer use Tools, Internet Options, ...
    • (Facultative) Visit ProxyJudge. If you see an HTTP_X_FORWARDED_FOR in the list followed by your IP then everything should be ok, otherwise choose another proxy and try again.
    • Visit TorrentBytes. Hopefully the tracker will now pickup your real IP (check your profile to make sure).

    Notice that now you will be doing all your browsing through a public proxy, which are typically quite slow. Communications between peers do not use port 80 so their speed will not be affected by this, and should be better than when you were "unconnectable".


    Why can't I signup from behind a proxy?
    It is our policy not to allow new accounts to be opened from behind a proxy.



    Why can't I connect? Is the site blocking me?


    Your failure to connect may be due to several reasons.


    Maybe my address is blacklisted?

    The site blocks addresses listed in the (former) PeerGuardian database, as well as addresses of banned users. This works at Apache/PHP level, it's just a script that blocks logins from those addresses. It should not stop you from reaching the site. In particular it does not block lower level protocols, you should be able to ping/traceroute the server even if your address is blacklisted. If you cannot then the reason for the problem lies elsewhere.

    If somehow your address is indeed blocked in the PG database do not contact us about it, it is not our policy to open ad hoc exceptions. You should clear your IP with the database maintainers instead.


    Your ISP blocks the site's address

    (In first place, it's unlikely your ISP is doing so. DNS name resolution and/or network problems are the usual culprits.)
    There's nothing we can do. You should contact your ISP (or get a new one). Note that you can still visit the site via a proxy, follow the instructions in the relevant section. In this case it doesn't matter if the proxy is anonymous or not, or which port it listens to.

    Notice that you will always be listed as an "unconnectable" client because the tracker will be unable to check that you're capable of accepting incoming connections.




    What if I can't find the answer to my problem here?


    By all means feel free to post in the Forums or contact Moderators or FLS. You'll usually find the forums a friendly and helpful place, provided you follow a few basic guidelines:
    • Make sure your problem is not really in this FAQ. There's no point in posting just to be sent back here.
    • Before posting read the sticky topics (the ones at the top). Many times new information that still hasn't been incorporated in the FAQ can be found there.
    • Help us in helping you. Do not just say "it doesn't work!". Provide details so that we don't have to guess or waste time asking. What client do you use? What's your OS? What's your network setup? What's the exact error message you get, if any? What are the torrents you are having problems with? The more you tell the easiest it will be for us, and the more probable your post will get a reply.
    • And needless to say: be polite. Demanding help rarely works, asking for it usually does the trick.
