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.

Comment 2 Thomas Backlund 2012-08-08 14:37:51 CEST 
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.

we're having an issue with our domain name that we hope to have resolved shortly. You can add a line in your hosts file to point to

66.135.37.158 linuxtracker.org dev.linuxtracker.org

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.
