prg.to (tracker)

[bryanskrantz]

why is that tracker soo polular? I mean the torrent cant connect to it most of the time yet its the most popular tracker. why is that?



edit: I ment tracker.prq.to

because you don't have to upload the torrent to the tracker for it to work.
you just put the announce url in your torrent and youre done.

EDIT: i use it as a backup tracker in case the main tracker i use goes down

I've noticed it too,
but I might add it works great every time for me.

Yeah, thats thepiratebay tracker. Its very convenient to use because you dont have to register the tracker.

I've also experienced the unconnectableness of it... I think its mainly because of the large load on it. Hit Manual Connect every minute or so and you'll eventually connect (don't jam the button or you'll get banned for hammering the server).

another great "tracker" to add is the 3 bthub redirectors

My effort to bring some scalability to Bit Torrent's trackers and reliability to torrent hosting is here. BTHub's dynamic DNS will auto-reroute you to a new online tracker when the original goes down

simply replace [hash] with the torrents sha1

http://[hash].bthub.com:2710/announce
http://[hash].bthub.com:6969/announce
http://redir.bthub.com/redir.php?hash=[hash]
