Many are nowadays using torrents to get many stuffs like Ubuntu * Cough * , Free Software's Like VLC *cough * , Firefox * Cough * .... ok lets cut the crap .. shall we...:D:D:D



How many of the times you downloaded your favorite torrent .. only find that there is very minimum seeders ... or possibly dead !!!

How many times have you got stuck at 99.9% ?? :D or 20% whatever it may be !!

Worry no more.. Here is a solution to all that ..

Here is what you do :

( I would advice for all the torrent users before downloading a torrent file , use the below method to see how many trackers are there and , i would also advice to use this method , as there is a increase in speed .... since seeders are more )

First you find the torrent you want say for eg in my case Ubuntu-7.10-(Gutsy) ** " Big Cough " ** [ Damn the weather :D:D]

I went to public torrent tracer.. and found that torrent... now is the important part


Step 1

Download your torrent file (*.torrent) and dont start the torrent now .. just download the file...

Step 2

Go to btReAnnounceR

Step 3

Upload the *.torrent you downloaded just now in it and Hit Upload


*preview.shareapic.net/preview4/012566993.jpg

Step 4

Now you will see all the related trackers for that torrent file other than the source of your torrent file you downloaded ( REMEMBER :If there isn't any other source ... then its worthless adding the same tracker.... )


*preview.shareapic.net/preview4/012566994.jpg

Step 5

Select the trackers of your wish and Hit ReAnnounce ( Its waste to add the same tracker from the same site... for eg : vip.thepirateb@y.com , public.thepirateb@y.com , etc.... since all these trackers from the same domain track the same file.... )

Step 6

Now it will present with ReAnnounced Torrent File , Download it and load it into your Download Client...

*preview.shareapic.net/preview4/012566995.jpg


Thats it... you have added all or some trackers other than the original tracker assoicated with the *.torrent file you downloaded initially

Now you will never Dry up of Seeders...


The same thing goes to dead torrents ...

You stuck with some level in your torrent download .. just upload the torrent and download the reannounced torrent and load it again onto your client in which u are downloading the torrent and remember to point to the already available downloading file instead of creating a new one ....

Advantage :

*** Since you add Trackers in the First place itself ( for who start the torrent intially by this method ) they will have great seeders

*** Chances of getting stuck at xx.xx % is very less

*** Improved speed

*** Older torrents / Dead Torrens can be Revived ... ( to some extent atleast , depends again on trackers , seeders... )

*** Since multiple Trackers are involved , tracker related problems are nearly solved...


Disadvantage :

*** This works very poorly on private torrents ... as the tracker are within the private trackers ... so very limited of external trackers...

*** Not all torrents have so much of other trackers ... so you should be lucky in those cases.


Please leave your comment guys..
And ask any doubt you want...

It will definitely increase the speed coz of increase in the number of public trackers and thus seeders / leechers.

Unfortunately, I am always on private trackers and I don't think it will work for those.

For the 99.x% problem, I just stop it there, rename the .avi.bc! or .avi.ut! file to .avi and play it. Has so far worked for me.

Thats for the tut though. Will help others who use public trackers.

Old trick....:cool::cool: works great.... Damn the RS :mad::mad::mad: , most of my half downlaods belong to RS files .... since they dont give us resume support...:mad::mad:

Instead use megaupload with free membership ... atleast they give resume function for free...:cool::cool::cool:

i dont get u .......
He wants to mean that,
get the tracker list from Torrentz.com
Launch ur torent client(I use uTorrent, so telling u uTorrent way).
Load torrent.
U get an initial screen showing details about the loaded torrent.
Go to Advanced tab from here.
Here u'll c a textarea havin the trackers for the torrent.
Paste the new trackers at this place providing a line gap.
bas u r done.

This is a manual and lengthy process of what u've suggested;):)

thnks buddy for the feedback ...

you are the first to report back...

ya i have mentioned it in my disadvantages ... it works poorly on private trackers... as the tracker is from the private site itself...

my advice would be ... try the same thing you want to download from a public tracker...

i mean search it there and if u didn't find it , then go for the private trackers ....

please do use this method all time you download a torrent

Naveen, after using ur procedure for quite a while, I think theoretically its full proof but practically if the added trackers are also can't provide any new seeds u r in deep sh33t.

Faced d same situation for ahem,cough,cough d/l a linux distro cough, cough (winter a gaya kaya?) for 3 days it downloading with 2.3KBps with at max speed 5KBps. Its pawning Broadband speed.

Conclusion, if d torrent is a bit popular u'll get seeds even without adding new trackers, following Naveen's procedure increases chance of completing d/l within projected time but can't gurrantee.
AND its ur bad luck if d torrent is a bit old and the main tracker is himself providing less than 10 seeds. Adding more trackers can't save u. (Its ur sheer good luck if after adding new tracker u get more seeds)

Tried this method right now with a *cough* *cough* (its very colddd here :D ) Linux distro... Speeds have increased, as have the no. of seeds and peers, but the increase in speed is marginal only in my case.. Probably thats because I'm already getting maxed out speeeds (~102 kBps down; ~97kBps up) with the default trackers only.. Will try some other torrent with less seeds and check it out..
Thanks...

as i have said early.. if the specific torrent u are downloading is from a private tracker or after uploading ur torrent to reannouncer site.. and lists are all same regarding the tracker .. then you can decide that the torrent u are about to download is either dead ( this i for reviving dead torrent ) or slow speed ( u are starting a new torrent using this method )

this time i was about to download a comedy f!lm and when i first started without this mehtod .. i had only 24 seeders.. but after uploading to reannouncer site , the seeder list was pumped upto 200K + seeders... and speeds were awesome... ( anyway u cant get more than u have subscribed speed ) i got a maxxed out speed of 30-34 kbps on my 256 kbps all time which is great considering i used to have only 25-30 kbps prev using the torrents....

anyway thnks for reporting back :)

Thanks...

thats wht i am saying .. u can max out ur bandwidth ... using this method... as seeder are pumped up and u wont dry go with seeders ...:-D:-D

i suggest u to use this method whenever u try to start a new torrent... fro the beginning itself...


Thanks... Will try it next time..


thnks ... use it and please do report it back:cool:
