Tracker update -

Hi all,

A few of you have been wondering when we're going to get rid of that pesky "tracker troubles" notification at the top of the page - the majority of users will be having no troubles at all with the tracker, so it may seem a bit odd...

Ever since the DDOS happened we've been running the tracker through a less powerful server, to take advantage of it's DDOS protection and make sure that no surprise attacks can leave you bereft of TV again; it's this that's made us keep that notification up, mostly because the intermediate server has trouble with the HTTPS tracker a lot of the time.

Behind the scenes, we've been working to set up a better solution for the long term, with the aim of getting as close to 100% tracker uptime as we possibly can - Marf's been really excited about the prospect!


Today, I'm pleased to announce that we're beginning the public beta of this system, initially rolling it out to Gurus and above and all donors.

If you're a part of the beta, all new torrents you download will contain an extra tracker, "tvtroppo.tk" - this is a temporary domain that we're using for the beta, so don't be concerned if it changes at some point. For the purposes of the beta, we're not disabling the original tracker for any users, so that in the case of any issues you'll still be able to download to your heart's content.

If you're not a part of the beta, stay tuned - if all goes well, we'll be enabling the beta tracker for *all* users this Monday, for one day only. Cookies go to the first person who figures out why!

TL;DR - if you see an extra tracker in your torrents, don't worry - it's just us trying to up our game for you!
