Here is Similar Story

With more than 10 million peers and 1,614,356 active torrents, Denis.Stalker ended up in third place in our ranking of the largest public BitTorrent trackers last summer. Running on the Opentracker software, the tracker has been a household name in the BitTorrent community for years.

A few months ago, however, the tracker suddenly went offline for no apparent reason. The official blog went silent and calls from the public to the once popular tracker remained unanswered.

Denis.Stalker itself never spread fake files. It never initiated the spreading of files at all. It was just a tracker.

But being an open tracker and having no attached forum or user base able to moderate or report the content it was open to abuse and was used by other people to spread malware and fakes.

I would guess that it was because of this that it became a favourite for the swarm-poisoners; the ones who released fake movies (often with well-known release groups’ names on them) and then swamped the trackers and indexers with hundreds of torrents and thousands or millions of peers in the hopes of drowning out any genuine releases.

Caveat emptor. If it looks too good to be true then it probably is.
