torrentbytes

[BattlePuppy]

I was wondering if any of you guys were having trouble connecting to torrentbytes. I can access the site from school but not from my home. My isp is verizon if that matters.

[abdoboss]

me too i think server down

[Collector69]

same here cant get on for a few days

[AnestesiaGeral]

...yap, still down...

[ta2]

Server is not down, DNS problems only. Close all of your browser windows and add the following lines to your hosts file @ C:\WINDOWS\system32\drivers\etc\hosts:

85.17.40.246 www.torrentbytes.net
85.17.40.247 tracker.torrentbytes.net

i don't understand what i have to do

[DigitalJunkie]

He/She means you edit the Hosts file with Notepad to include IP addresses for TorrentBytes.net, so that you don't need to use DNS (Domain Name Server) to get the IP addresses!

[redMonster]

I am able to connect to TB successfully since today.

[TruFakzor]

i was able to, but im not able to anymore

[Hath]

It's working fine for me. I have never had problems there.

[drghdr]

it's no work,
it's down

[Lecia]

it isnt working

[invitemeh]

the site is working for me now

[gpm]

i think that everything now is ok

[sonsonalex]

working fine now

[shivwhorra]

Its good now.

[rd1234]

How about torrentbytes.net today?

Seems to be resolving to scenetorrents.org and unable to connect?

Can anyone confirm if working? Thanks.

[TexBrad]

it has been a mess today some starting to get through

[napster10]

yes it isn't working

[drtoker]

tb servers have been comprimised and are redirecting/attacking to sct

[frostyuk1979]

wow it is completely dead now anybody know when it's going to be back up

[Bahnzo]

yeah still dead

[ghostat2005]

i have this problem also

[frostyuk1979]

Mmmmm as it gone for good now ?????

[valvestate]

i cant seem to find any info on the sites status. does anyone have admin/webmaster contact info? a quick port scan shows ftp and smtp open. i wonder if you could login through ftp to get torrents?

edit: also what is the irc channel and server?

[ghostat2005]

This Irc for torrentbytes.net


P2P-IRC (irc.p2p-irc.net)

[jonitorinco]

This Irc for torrentbytes.net


P2P-IRC (irc.p2p-irc.net)

No information there...

Topic for #torrentbytes-support is “Site: offline | Tracker: offline | This is a support channel, not for chit-chat nor for idling. | Never give out personal info like mail etc. in here! | We don't know what is going on with the site, but this is no longer due to the DDoS, no ETA. This is all info we have, so don't ask for more info please!”

[ghostat2005]

Ok man but anyone have new news for TB

[cramer]

This is all info we have, so don't ask for more info please!

Your site is down all week, but you don't know anything? I find that very hard to believe. There's more than one person on the planet who can login and see w.t.f. is wrong with the servers/site. I'm pretty sure their admins/mods have their own private channel (irc, email, im, phone) for staying in touch. To have zero information after a week? They aren't remotely that incompetent.

In a strange coincidence, thepeergroup.net disappeared at the same time. Their dns records have gone missing. (hosted by GoDaddy, so who knows what's been screwed up there.)

[Edit: btw, for those who don't want to fire up an IRC client, netsplit.de (http://irc.netsplit.de/channels/details.php?room=%23torrentbytes-support&net=P2P-NET) monitors their support channel.]

[nasir]

It is still down.
The 1st day it went down, the site was redirected to ScT very strange.

[meyou123]

Well last time they had sign ups, I signed up, but I don't think they hold a candle to sites like torrentleech.

I hate the way they put you at a disadvantage when you sign up, because they only allow you to download torrents that are 24 hours old torrents! Then you have trouble getting your ratio up because they put you at that disadvantage! And on sites like that, nobody seems to want to download anything off of you when the file is 24 hours old!

I switched to newsgroups. No stupid ratios to worry about....but I still use torrentleech occasionally.

But I finally just asked torrentbytes to close my account and haven't been back since, because I simply disagree with the way they hobble you on new torrents when you are starting out! To me that is stupid!

[rd1234]

Strange so many of us managed to join Torrentbytes and keep our ratio up.

It will be a shame if the site is gone, because I've never seen a faster tracker (consistently) than Torrentbytes ... probably because they didn't tolerate leechers who don't have the decency to keep their ratio up.

If you're a leecher, than yeah stay off BT and pay for premium newsserver.

I DID keep a ratio up at both torrentbytes AND torrentleech!

But it was not so hard starting out on torrentleech...Because I was given THE SAME OPPORTUNITY EVERYONE ELSE HAD STARTING OUT!

Torrentbytes makes it just that much harder on a new person to start out! They only let you up stuff over 24 hours old and THEN nobody wants them....because everyone already has them. So it takes you a very long time to get started there.

I did not say you could not get up your ratio, fanboy! I said it was much harder than other sites...and as far as I am concerned I will use newwsgroups rather than go through that dumb hassle.

But you are fool if you think I ever tried to cheat or leech!

I just said it was unfair to start out there and it is. Sorry if you can't handle the truth but that is the way it is. Get your head out of the sand and you might see that.

[TucaLuca]

Torrentbytes makes it just that much harder on a new person to start out! They only let you up stuff over 24 hours old and THEN nobody wants them....because everyone already has them. So it takes you a very long time to get started there.

Honestly, all the stuff that I downloaded only starts out uploading after the 24 hours. Especially after a week (or with dvds after 2 weeks even) it really starts to upload. I usually only upload stuff once a month for 2-4 days to make up for all the downloading. It's not that hard :) (just dont try it with the latest lost episode or something like that ;))

p.s. it sucks though that torrentbytes is down... they might not even come back when you look at the news (Leaseweb is forced by BREIN to hand over the personal details of people behind Ladytorrent. Torrentbytes is also hosted within the leaseweb network). But we'll see.

[cramer]

Negative. They are hosted by NForce. Maybe within a leaseweb facility, but not necessarily. And since they have to start with a fresh install, it'd be trivial to move somewhere else. Maybe TPB will start a hosting service. :icon_pira

That's true indeed, nforce is intermediary. Still, I wouldn't stay in Holland for too long. You never know when BREIN is gonna hit ya ;-)

But I guess they are just struggling to get back up their feet and create a secure install this time. Ah well, I'm out though...

Well mabye you might not have had the uploading problems I did, but I eventually gave that site up altogether, because it was hampering my upload ratio.

So now I use torrentleech instead for the occasional torrent, but I am mostly using newsgroups, with no uploading back now.

[publane]

This discussion is quit funny. I signed up with Torrentleach and had a 48hour wait to download anything until I had downloaded 8 gig with a ratio 1.078. Was hard to upload old torrents that everyone else already had. Torrentbytes was only 24 hours and has a much faster download speed than Torrenleach! Hopefully Torrenbytes is back up and running soon.

[moha2k7]

server was down by attacks of hacker but now it resume everything

[ghostat2005]

Its still down with me if u know anything to do tell me

[mundix]

hmmm..its still down...
down know when it'll be back up, but the site says they'll be back soon..
it seems it would take awhile before torrentbytes comes back up..

[qwnpr]

Bad news about TB, check out their IRC support channel topic:

There were backups, but the person wont give them back. The site will be back, but there is No ETA (yet)! .::. All stats and accounts are gone, you will need to re-register. We are truly sorry - we hate it as much as you.

Aww. Am I the only one deeply saddened by this? I bet the re-signup rush will be even worse than when the TorrentBits -> TorrentBytes transition.

[capone2323]

I never was a member there. Is tl becoming what Tb was @ its good times?

Torrenleech does not have a waiting period as far as I know. At least they didn't when I signed up. So I don't see how you can do soo good on torrentbytes and not on torrentleech.

[Southgate]

TL does have a 48 hour wait now for new members. Noobs need to upload 7 gigs (was 8 gigs just a few days ago I think) to totally eliminate the wait period, which can be kind of tough to do quickly unless they know what they're doing.

[Collector69]

still cant get on

Geez. I hope they get those back-up back. took me ages to build my ratios. and true, I can still remember how hard just to get an account in TB

[rd1234]

Torrentbytes back ... but seems you have to signup from scratch.

I did manage to get in without the confirmation email, did you try to log in? make sure you only got 1 account and delete the other one. read in the rules that you will get banned with multiple account.

[qwnpr]

I am having signup troubles too.

For the latest info and support problems, join the #tb-support and #tb-support-chat channels at irc.p2p-network.net. Lots of nice people there willing to help and fix broken signups.

Thanks, I just did the same thing. It worked.

[qwnpr]

Signups are currently working again. If you don't get an activation email, you should join the IRC support channel and the staff will manually activate the account.

TB is back! =)

[meyou123]

Torrentbytes is DOWN AGAIN! They seem to be having troubles keeping that site up.

Now it says:

Cannot find "http://www.torrentbytes.net/"

TB is try to fix the D/U ratio issue. inaccurate reading.

[ChemicalX]

Yeah it seems like the TorrentBytes site is f'd yet again.
But I have faith in the TB team.

[enter8]

I hate to say this, but even if they do happen to resolve their tech issues (which I'm sure they will), doesn't the fact that, due to the lost membership info, they're letting everybody and anybody in change the nature of the tracker? Exclusivity isn't the most important feature of a tracker, but it certainly counts. It goes a long way, imo, in weeding out undesirable/anti-p2p elements.

[meyou123]

Well TB might be going to have to start from SCRATCH again, it looks like.....

LOL! Did I say that? I think not, TB put the site down coz of the U/D ratio issue. The first time they try to resolve the issue, it didn’t work. Many account holders are still experiencing the issue.

And for they sake of argument, they are having a bandwidth issue as well coz of the massive influx of people trying to signup.

I read somewhere that TB are trying the get the old code and database, but someone is refusing to hand it back. This is the reason for everybody to start to zero (ratio) again.

You may not have said it, but you acted like THAT was the issue! Why are you acting like a smartass?
And as far as them taking the site down, they should have a message on their site saying it, so that you can read it in all browsers, but they do not
have any such message.

[orange123]

Now, using "opera", I see this (on torrentbytes.net)

We will be reverting back to our old code and database, once the site goes live all members will be required to use http://www.torrentbytes.net/recover.php to recover their passwords before logging in. All old passwords will have been removed.There is currently no ETA...please be patient.

I need urgent help, I'm helping my friend to get a good ratio (my upload speed is about 200kb/s) on torrentbytes then his account was disable so If anyone that have contact with admins on torrentbytes can help me I'll appreciate.
