Half a Decade

Five years ago, a star site was born. The circumstances were far from ideal: our initial community of refugees was still reeling from loss. We owe much to our precedessors, and shall never forget the site we wistfully recall as a mirage. The path from then to now was turbulent, and we have learned some lessons along the way. Chief among them is that our users, and their varied contributions, are at the core of our success. We are immeasurably proud of everything you — the uploaders, rippers, helpers, interviewers, seeders, reporters, editors, the list goes on — have built. This is not a curtain call, but you nevertheless deserve a standing ovation for your achievement, and the central role you have played in helping us reach this milestone.

As the old adage goes, time flies, and nothing lasts forever. We must enjoy the ride, but also hold one another to account. To that end, we hear the voices of constructive criticism. Many who challenge certain aspects of the site's philosophy and decisions, are among its most ardent supporters and contributors. That is a sign that you love this place like we do, and want it to evolve for the better. While we cannot always deliver what you want, we promise to consider your suggestions with the nuance they deserve, and be more diligent in providing context for our decisions.

Of course, no birthday party is complete without party favors, which are detailed below. Enjoy!

Everyone should now have 50 FL tokens to grab whatever you would like! The tokens will expire on January 7, 2022 at 23:59 UTC. If you don't use them, you will lose them. To receive tokens your account must have existed and been leech-enabled at the time of this announcement. You may consult Freeleech Tokens to understand how these work.

The following torrents, comprised of user recommendations, have been set to Freeload until November 30 23:59 UTC, which is a new feature designed to reward long-term seeding and retention. When a torrent is marked Freeload, only current seeders and those who have seeded in the prior week, accrue upload credit for data they send to the swarm. No one is charged for downloading.

Potential issues accessing the tracker, IRC network or site via SSL

Public Service Announcement

Accessing the tracker, IRC network or site via SSL.

TL;DR

On September 30 2021, an old root certificate of our SSL Certificate Authority expired. Technical details are available at the end of this post, but this was not a surprise, and had been telegraphed for quite some time. This is not a site or tracker bug. Most of our users, operating modern browsers and devices, should not notice any change. However, those on older desktops or servers, may have trouble connecting to our HTTPS tracker (HTTP is unaffected), SSL IRC server or site, and therefore have to update some software, or manually download a certificate.

How do I know if I am affected?

If, in the past 48 hours, you encountered errors such as 'Peer certificate cannot be authenticated with given CA certificates', 'unspecified system error', or complaints from an application that our SSL certificate has expired (it did not), you are likely impacted. Note that Firefox maintains its own root certificate store, so while your browser may be fine, other applications, such as your torrent client, may still not function with RED via SSL.

Hang on a minute, why are none of my other trackers impacted?

Perhaps they are using a different Certificate Authority; the issue described in this post only affects Let's Encrypt.

What should I do?

If this is happening on a managed seedbox, reach out to your provider, and let them know they need to update your SSL software / configuration. You can guide them by noting this issue is caused by the recent expiry of the Let's Encrypt's DST Root CA X3 certificate.

If this is happening on your own desktop or server, the solution depends on your OS and other details. First, see if you can fix the issue yourself by following the links below. If that fails, do not hesitate to ask for Help. As a last resort, temporary solution for tracker-related issues, you can remove the s from https in your announce URL.

News - 28.02.21

As you've probably already noticed, we've just experienced some downtime on all our services. We had a few servers go offline (expectedly) and unfortunately had the backup servers go offline unexpectedly around the same time. No data has been lost, these were frontend servers. We are hard at work fixing all of our services and the site is back online, but IRC will take a bit longer.

In the meantime, RED has generously allowed us to setup an IRC channel over on their network. So if you need to get in your GGn IRC fix, head on over to #GazelleGames on irc.scratch-network.net! It won't have our lovely Vertigo but no worries, you'll see her again soon. We hope to see you there! https://gazellegames.net/static/comm...leys/smile.gif
