Concerns about new secret trackers

[walczanin]

whats site you talking about wild? SCN?

RTS

I have not looked up scn as of yet, and not sure i will. But did look up the info on rts and i was shooked to see how easy it was and where they were hosted. I just cant beleave they would put them self in that kind of a risk.

I give it 2 months tops before host is force to take site off line or fbi come in and take servers.


RTS info





Wild

They are probably thinking of some sort of comeback responce.
Maybe they didnt know you couldnt host torrents in the U.S. or something.
Its a big nono.
Theres quite a few sites that host in the U.S. but I personally wouldnt recommend it.

Me and Wild were talking about them being hosting on SL just last night.
I personally would recommend slapping Staff on sites who are hosted in the U.S. with a big wet fish.
All they do is put their users as well as themselves at risk.
Forget the coding/exploit issues. I recommend move the site to a SECURE server and fast. Anyone who can state they care about their sites users and still host in the U.S. obviously doesnt give a damn about their users.
(My opinion)

I guess they chose softlayer because of the review on the sct forum :

* SoftLayer
- Great speeds (including Gbit servers) and awesome servers!
- Offers support via online chat and emails are answered almost within an hour (or less) during business hours.

Yep first step right now should be moving the site out of the usa.

Step 2 should be stop offering up access and posting that the site has there own seeding servers. Pretty stupid thing to do, mostly because of risk.

Step 3 fixs all the known holes the site has. Every site as had to do this.

After all this then maybe the site will make it but even still this is just the first few steps out of many if they want a tracker that can make it.

you do know that this hosting company has a history of getting radied. I know of 3 times in last 3 years. Where ftp servers have been taken.

From what I have figured out... The servers are hosted in TX and they plan to move the hosting "soon". I am not sure why they would host them in the States to start with. This not only puts them at risk, but all the users of the tracker. Combine this will several hole in their code, and you have a recipe for disaster.

Maybe they should have asked for help from other Sysops that have experience in this type of thing and really planned out things before the launch. I never wish failure on anyone, but pre-planning and making sure you have everything together is a good idea before launching a tracker.

I also have been amazed at the so called speed of this tracker as well. For a site that had such high requirements, how can you have uploaders that have very poor connections? I had a torrent running last night with 2 seeds and I was only pulling speeds of 20kb at most. To test this i went to another tracker that is a level 2 mind you and pulled the same torrent with 3 seeds at over 90kb. hmmmm

Speed i am sure will be slow at first. Speeds can be slow because the 2 seeders capped there lines or because of all the hops it as to take AKA routing between seeder/leecher.

But that would mean that the seeders capped that torrent at 10kb up. Why would you upload it in the first place if you limit the up on it? There were no other leechers by the way. Also ther would not seem to be a need to cap the up if you are running a 100/100 like so many of them were required to have. Not bashing just curious.
