I must admit I'm slightly put off by the deception but at this point in time staying a member, still very reliable torrents IMO.

Really now, who would join a torrent site that has banner ads all over the internets? You people are crazy.

I'd say it's feeling with his fella trying to screw 10x more people this time :lol:

I see no ads, I even disable ad block and still no ads. :noes:

^Maybe he's referring to ads on other sites as well as promotions ("astroturfing") on invite forums not the on-site ads.

It's your opinion, don't judge for others ;)
Lots of people don't care where they advertise or from where members are coming from.
All i can see is they have members and huge number of members are joining TD tracker.

Good job with the "research" Rart, thanks for taking the time to do that. :)

Yes, I noticed this too. Speeds were also very slow for torrents with so many peers, whereas other big trackers such as TL or IPT manage to max out my download in no time. :huh:

It is possible for the tracker to limit the amount of peers delivered, but most of them will just proceed to give you more IPs every time you ask.

Learn some C++ coding and MySQL also ;)

Site can in fact limit how many peers you are allowed to connect to as Anon said. Most don't however. There are quite a few that will only give you 50 per scrape. Also the torrent client itself can limit how many you get if you check your settings.
I doubt limiting would have anything to do with anti-piracy. If they were worried about anti-piracy they would close open signups and mass advertising the site first imho.
