Since most trackers require you authenticate yourself before downloading the metadata, I doubt it'd work in the first place. And even if it did, I wouldn't advice using it, because of the different IP.
You can't use txtor with a private tracker unless you give them your username and password information.Quote:

they ask for the link too ? damn
I think there offering a legitimate service, but they also realize its not practical to ask people for login/password information.Quote:

They run a pretty straight forward site.
BCG has this feature as well.
I think it's mainly just for people in college/other monitored ISPs that block the downloading of .torrent files, so they can simply download it as a .txt extension.
Obviously this site can't get a private site torrent for you, seeing as you need authentication to visit the site in the first place.
Although if it actually did manage to grab a .txt of a private torrent, I don't really see how it would be against any kind of rules, it should be fine. It doesn't do anything tracker side, it's just another way to download the torrent.

Not when the tracker already has that option, and of course not if your ISP doesn't block .torrent downloading. :)Quote:
