People please take the time to read the entire thread. Many of the same questions and errors (and their solutions) keep getting posted. Here's the situation:

1. If you didn't download the new torrent file you may still be uploading and downloading. The problem is you aren't on the new tracker (like all of the other people you are connected to). That's why the seeder/leecher stats in your client don't match those on the Audio or Video BT page, which shows the stats for the new tracker.

2. If you are using many clients, such as the original BT client, BitComet, BitTornado, Shadow's client, ABC and some others, you may be getting error messages and cannot connect to anyone or upload/download. For the moment these clients are not working with our new system but eventually they will.

3. There are two clients that DEFNITELY work right now: Azureus and uTorent. There are links to download these clients at the top of every forum page. Azureus gets a bad rap for some reson but it really is a very nice client.

4. Mac users: Azureus is not usually a resource hog (as it has been rumored to be on PCs). I personally use that client and have had zero problems with it, just make sure your Java is updated. Please give that a shot or try Tomato Torrent:

There are other clients besides the original client and Azureus and Tomato torrent, feel free to try any of these others, such as Trasmission (this link is a search for "Bit torrent" at versiontracker.com):

5. If you are using Azureus or uTorrent and are not immeditaely showing up on the tracker page (or are getting random errors) please simply be patient. Many of these errors go away if you let the client be for a little bit!

6. Many torrents are not going to be well seeded at the moment since everyone who was using this site before yesterday needs to come back here, redownload their torrent files, and restart their torrents. This will not happen immediately. Please be patent!

7. Lastly, please do not freak out. The site just underwent a major change. As expected there are some growing pains associated with this. thetradersden will continue to be a great torrent site for the forseeable future so please just be patient. Everything will be back to normal soon.
