Description james Whitby 2012-08-08 13:40:21 CEST

Description of problem:

Appears the tracker is "out-of-business".

No dns address for two days.

Appears there isn't a backup tracker.

Please. What has it to do with Mageia?

Actually everything... :/

It's the tracker used for Mageia ISO torrents util our own system is created ...

I've tried to get some response from the DNS hosting and from an other mail contact I have, but so far nothing...

Comment 4 Sander Lepik 2012-08-08 14:47:44 CEST

I think we should create multi-tracker torrents in the future. To avoid such problems.

Comment 5 Romain d'Alverny 2012-08-08 15:16:58 CEST

What about trackerless torrents then? isn't the DHT supposed to act as sort of a backup already?

Comment 6 Manuel Hiebel 2012-08-08 15:36:13 CEST

what about changing the link to http://terasaur.org/search?query=mageia for now ? (direct access)

Comment 7 Romain d'Alverny 2012-08-08 21:16:18 CEST

Could this be an opportunity to close bug 104 as well?

Copied from the Mageia ML.

From their facebook page today.

My question is whether we can/should use the ip for the tracker address, at least temporarily.

Having added the above to my hosts file
I'm seeing about 2 seeds average after 2 days and no leeches.

Comment 9 james Whitby 2012-08-10 20:37:39 CEST

Tracker is back online.

Comment 10 Nicolas Vigier 2012-08-13 18:22:55 CEST

Closing as linuxtracker.org is back online.
