[...] Most of the time a BitTorrent download gets stuck, it’s because the tracker can no longer find seeders who have the entire file available for download. Website btReAnnouncR resurrects dead BitTorrent downloads by scouring the internet for all torrent trackers following the same torrent. Once it finds alternate torrents, you can create and download a custom .torrent download file in which you select the primary and alternate trackers yourself. In doing so, you’ll (hopefully) find several more peers that are seeding the same download. If you’ve ever spent hours downloading a file using BitTorrent just to find yourself stuck at 98% complete and desperately adding “Seed please!” comments to the tracker, btReAnnounceR might be just what you need.

simple to way to stop this from happening is use private trackers where you connect to ppl to seed for ages and have proper connections like 100mbit or 1gbit stupid n00b ass public trackers

I just use torrentz to find the other trackers then manually add them to a torrent.

The last step, and as important as the rest, is to seed your now-completed file so that the other schmucks sitting at 49.1% can finally finish it.

Assuming this is great, the coutermessures of TBP to get rid of fake trackers is then back to square 1. Since all anti-piracy outfits can register on this kind of sites with their trackers, without me knowing about it.

I’d agree with the some others here. Search for the file on a donkey network instead.

donkey/emule/etc. is a lot slower than bittorent, but files doesn’t disappear as fast there.

[...] Eventually, particularly when trying to download old torrents, most BitTorrent users find themselves with a transfer which stops due to the swarm having no seeds, not enough peers to cover the full release, or the tracker going down. btReAnnouncer is a handy site which could prove vital in reaching that magic 100%.

Stuck torrents may now be a more common problem, since ThePirateBay plans to remove secondary (backup) trackers from torrents.

That’s why it’s important to have dht and peer exhange activated on all torrents. It could really help you out if you’re in a pinch.

Demonoid tracked torrents contunued to work well after the site and tracker went offline. Only private flag torrents would be literaly dead should the tracker stop responding. As that is not a requirement on Demonoid, the majority of their torrents did not carry the private flag and peers were still accessible via dht or the other trackers on those torents. DHT is not only for trackerless torrents but also for connecting peers from different trackers or where there is a tracker but it is unavailable (provided the torrent does not carry the private flag).

@14 and 18

Perhaps you remember when Demonoid went down, and their ‘private’ torrents (read – internally tracked) ceased to function. It wouldn’t matter how many other trackers carry the same torrent file (isohunt, mininova, pirate bay, etc), if the tracker that is actually tracking it goes down.

DHT = trackerless torrents, which allows the client to use torrents that do not have a working tracker.

This is one of the advantages of leaving dht enabled.

ahahaha nice one #14..

although I would have no been so mean.. it is true, people think public is sooo bad..

read comments, check for known uploaders, check file contents, use common sense (No an entire DVD cannot be 100 meg)

Finding 1,000 trackers would be pointless, if no-one is seeding.

DHT is your friend. Enable it… in your torrents *and* your client.

@13 I’m only using public trackers, guess how many unseeded or fake files I’ve been stuck with … NONE! That’s only a problem when you’re a complete idiot without common sense and reading ability (like 70% of the internet)

dfsfsdfsdfds — Thu, 23 Oct 2008 12:48:10 +0000

don’t people already try to add trackers to the list to build seeds?

Since I have joined private sites. Guess how many unseeded or fake files I have been stuck with.

NONE,,, Public for the lose.

I wrote a little PHP script to pull the tracker from both Isohunt and Torrentz:

Heh I actually like the doctors pic and i think it kind of fits this post, but thats just me.

I generally use the google option but will check this out, thanks!

Main problem is when something is not that popular (ie only upped to one place) or when you dont have access to the file anymore.
Example, something i really wanted got deleted off demoniod, i am pretty sure it alive via dht but i dont have access to the actual torrent anymore because even clicking on google’s cache is then asking the demoniod program to pass the .torrent to me but it responds by “torrent removed”.

Any ideas from anyone here would be appreciated but I think in this case… its truly dead. As dead as nearly all ideas the RIAA/MAFIAA have :D

Cheers!

If you got your torrent from a metasite, they usually collate the trackers into their torrent anyway.
(Torrentz doesn’t, and even its tracker list tends to be shorter than other sources, which is why I tend not to use it)
Besides which, DHT will usually find peers if they’re not on the same tracker, if it doesn’t there probably aren’t any on other trackers. (unless they’re private ones)

Does this ReWhatever actually DO ANYTHING? Does it bring bits back out of the bit bucket? Sounds like it’s just a forum post dressed up in new clothes. Surely anyone would search for similar torrents to begin with — only then despair and start begging for reseeds.
