    Question Mark

    im talking about that one http://txtor.dwerg.net.
    is it risky?

    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.

    In which case I would highly recommend you don't

    They even state that themselves
    It doesn't help you out for private sites (i.e., where you need to login to download a torrent), because we'd have to relay your credentials and we doubt you'd want us to give your username and password.

    I think there offering a legitimate service, but they also realize its not practical to ask people for login/password information.

    The main use of their site is for public trackers when the torrent extension file is blocked.

    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.

    i saw on trackers the option to download torrents also as a text file, so i guess its no need for this crappy site or not ?

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