torrentbytes back online?

[Superkiller]

well they look to be back ")
new database i think
open sigh ups but been waiting for the confirm email for 15 and nothing

still Fixing the new site .......

"2007-07-17 - It's been a very long month or two since our beloved Torrentbytes was last seen alive, but now we are back. Our good friend Alex has made his decision which means we need to start from scratch, in every aspect of the word. On IRC and MSN some of us may have got a little angry and possibly got pissed off with whatever, and it's only to be expected given the circumstances. So, let's look to the future and put the past behind us. Windpaw/Alex is long gone and we have done our best to keep him well away from us and the site. Our hardcore members WILL return, along with a lot of our previous members im sure. The userbase will be full before the end of the month, so from the offset let's try and remain positive and full of spirit. Yeah, the whole situation sucks... but all we can do is make the best of it. This is a fresh start, so lets have some fun like we did. Let's sort out anything that we thought needed 'fixed' on the 'previous' TBy and push to make this the site it once was. VIVA LA TORRENTBYTES"

From the irc channel:


* Now talking in #torrentbytes-support
* Topic is 'SITE: ONLINE - TRACKER: ONLINE .::. .::. This channel is a support channel, not for chit-chat nor idling! .::. All accounts are gone, please re-register! .::. WE ARE WORKING ON THE MAILSERVER ERROR! Please wait! .::. We are manually confirming accounts, please be patient!'

...when I signed up there was 700 registered users now it says 300, wtf? And I still haven't got an confirmation email.

[necromantic]

This is very good news, I hope TB can reclaim their former glory. I'm still waiting on my confirmation email as well Tristan.

[sababot]

go register :D

[mforcex]

you aren't getting a confirmation email, just login and download from the huge selection of 29 torrents.

[sear]

I registered guess now I'll have to play the waiting game:whistling

[Enlightened]

Yep, No confirmation email received. So No point registering.

[top25]

they are manually confirming accounts just register and sign in i did.

[mestari]

TB was great...but why they are raping all the good memories...!

[Enlightened]

they are manually confirming accounts just register and sign in i did.

U mean going to the IRC?

[FACE_TO_FACE]

The current user account limit (2,000) has been reached. Inactive accounts are pruned all the time, please check back again later...

[Tristan9669]

The current user account limit (2,000) has been reached. Inactive accounts are pruned all the time, please check back again later...

wow 2000 users and no invites. is TB level 10 now? :lol::lol::lol:

[top25]

they are manually confirming accounts just register and sign in i did.

U mean going to the IRC?

I did'nt have to go to the irc i just registered and signed in they said they are manually confirming accounts.

[thegoan]

dayum... that was fast.... saddly couldnt get in...

[Spanky]

Open again now..

[Tbag]

Signup is open now. But i couldn't register.

[Beenieman]

same here.. blank white screen :(

[thegoan]

they reached the 2k limit but signups are still open... i guess its justa dummy page... at first i got a mysql error then just a blank page...

[cattani]

i try twice to signup but same full white page after i submit my info.
anybody on the irc channel for more info ?

again
"The current user account limit (2,000) has been reached. Inactive accounts are pruned all the time, please check back again later..."

[KSA]

LOL :D, why did they limit the user account to 2,000?

They are new now, and they need more users to be able to stand up again & get strong!

:P

[torrentt]

i registered, didn't gt any email, can't login, when i try to register again a get a msg that my email is already in use, when i recover my password i get a msg that this email isn't on their database
weird site

[Spanky]

Sign up is working properly now.

They limit the users, so the site doesnt get hammered with everyone trying to get in at the same time. They will probably get back up to 50.000 members but it will take a few days.

[Pazzini]

Edit: Never mind :) - all sorted

[Spanky]

Bloody hell, dont you guys know how to read.

[Pazzini]

Bloody hell, dont you guys know how to read.

Evidently not :P :lol::lol:

[cattani]

now 4k user registered

[Spanky]

:P Well you should be in there now. :D

[Pazzini]

:P Well you should be in there now. :D


Edit: Never mind :) - all sorted

All is cool thanks m8 ;)

[thegoan]

i think the limit is now at 5k

[cattani]

grow grow up

in a second we know

over, close here 5k

1000 people in 25 minute, from 4k to 5k, unbelivable

[mforcex]

Damn I was sleeping when there were 2k users, I could have traded it for FTWR and UK-T!

[Tiffany]

TB was great...but why they are raping all the good memories...!

Content-wise, they suck. The only good thing about them is their forums (which looks like won't be as good as before since they only are accepting ~5K members atm).

[IceTee]

Is anyone else getting this msg after you fill the sign-up page:

Parse error: syntax error, unexpected ':' in /www/www.torrentbytes.net/email.inc.php on line 3

:pinch:

[RainRoofer]

If your acc is not confirmed by confirmation mail go to their chan and request it manually to be done.
I also get this error

Parse error: syntax error, unexpected ':' in /www/www.torrentbytes.net/email.inc.php on line 3

[nihility]

yeh i was getting that error, tried again just then and limit reached

i guess we have to wait til they add more spots

[ghurka]

Damn I was sleeping when there were 2k users, I could have traded it for FTWR and UK-T!:lol:

Must say that after waiting a long time to get into TB it was the biggest disappointment out of all the BT sites. Yet another statistic of the WIAW thread.

Not gonna bother signing up this time just to have another entry on my bookmarks.

what do u mean, where do u go?

[Beenieman]

still not working for me. not really worth the hassle either unless they have speeded things up since lasttime.

[BamZow]

Guys, after you leeched / seeded a couple of torrents, go look at your stats. After that, go look in their forum for how many who has problems with this.

It´s like quad leech and double seed :frusty:

[zxcv]

Me too the same error!


what do u mean, where do u go?
I suppose that him said that you have to go to the irc channel.
Sorry I can't help you and me either

[danutzz2010]

I can't register:| stupid error:|

[zxcv]

I don't know how they will fix this troble, because I see that too many unconfirmed accounts will be. Hope not to re-register again.

just check tb's links page.

[KevinGarnet]

great news.. they show that they are alive now.. some problems still are but i hope everything will be fine some time later..

[! ANGEL !]

stupid site:angry:

[ohmboys]

is it all new accounts ?

[Daniel]

I don't know how they will fix this troble, because I see that too many unconfirmed accounts will be. Hope not to re-register again.
I registered about 9-10 hours ago and today my account is confirmed even though I've never received an email. Looks like they were doing this stuff manually ;)

I've got no clue about those ratio issues because honestly, the offered torrents aren't that exciting and one third of them is without seeders anyway.

[neoz]

I signed up and never got the email and I can't log in at all. I had uploads in the TB ranges and a ratio of over 10 .. I sure hope I get back on! Torrentbytes was the only tracker I've used extensively..

[Spanky]

Some of the torrents Im on show no seeders or leechers, but there is a few of us on the torrents.

Its best to download the torrent yourself and see how many seeds/leeches there is. There is a problem with the TB tracker as stats are way out.

Looks like the download stats may be reset once the tracker is fixed. So leech away and seed as much as you can before the wait times come into effect. ;-)

[Gish]

[kaffeine]

So there is no way of getting are old accounts back?

They say the old db was stolen, so i guess no....

[sear]

but dam it's fast

[dano24]

[lee551]

WE have to take the site down for a bit to figure out what is going on:)

[dano24]

[kaffeine]

Very true...

[terracide38]

I'm getting a:


Parse error: syntax error, unexpected T_VARIABLE in /www/www.torrentbytes.net/takesignup.php on line 95


when trying to sign up. =(

[FireMan]

Hello people,
viva le Torrentbytes.net
welcome to the new live in TBytes.
Congratulations staff, good work.

:gunsmilie

[Beenieman]

still busy for me

[dano24]

yup its still busy but when it does let you on you get error when trying to sign up

[DaleyG]

Damn, this kinda sux.
I had a 500+ GB share ratio, and its all gone now :(
Hopefully I can just create a new account.

Still busy!

(and me waves Hi to everybody here on FST, Im new here!)

[cattani]

[amirji]

Still back and forth from working and not... Looks like tomorrow morning.. :-(

[DaleyG]

Lucky i could register again ;)
Waiting for a confirmation!

[Beenieman]

Don't hold your breath m8 I've been waiting 2 days and I ain't going on irc to get it sorted either so sod it.

:frusty:

[v3nger]

I never received any confirmation or used IRC, just try logging in with your new account details, it worked for me

[QuickJelly]

It seems my rTorrent wont report my stats to the tracker (I'm not seeing my upload from the last 3 hours in my profile). I dont know if that has something to do with it being slow or anything, but it works fine with other trackers. Hmm...

[terracide38]

They are manually confirming accounts. I never received a confirmation e-mail but my login worked after a day.

[cattani]

new annonunce:
"WE have to take the site down for a bit to figure out what is going on:)"

[Kirkedir]

Too bad for Tb. :(
They were the best once upon a time. :D

[KevinGarnet]

also it has one small problem.. sometimes when you want to login you have to wait because it the tracker are too many people.. i think some time later it should be repaired..

[stroj]

Nice they dont want to give up...but i dont see a reason to use TB again.
Constant server problems (cant even register properly). My buffered account is gone. Lack of speed/content. I would gladly see their imrpovement, but this what they got now is just failure

[TheFoX]

Don't forget that they have just lost their main coder, so things are going to be patchy.

Frustrating as it may be, once they get themselves sorted out, I'm sure things will get back to normal. People's curiosity will certainly help that to happen.

[QuickJelly]

Staff said the slow speeds and busy servers wont be permanent. As soon as they fix that and people's upload/download as well as get some content uploaded I think they can be pretty good again.

[FireMan]

The site is down for me.
I think that it is in maintenance to rectify points that if find to function less well. :yup:

:gunsmilie

[ose]

down for me too ..

[dre145]

fuck TB i had an account with 500 gbs uploaded and 100 down, I thought they might become something good like they were before but they are dying, im not signing back up again, thier uploaders suck, servers suck, admins suck, just the userbase and forums are good

[underandover]

Torrenbytes staff say they are now able to restore the old db, will just have to recover password once its up.
