Re: TTD not well.. download strategy to use (UPDATED!)
It seems that suddenly a lot of torrents have been turned to inactive.
Was this a deliberate decision to stabilize the site and to reduce the load? I got the impression when deciding to never let torrents get inactive that this aspect is/was not crucial for the increasing problems with the site. Anyway I hope this is not the end of TTD....

The tracker was not designed to handle so much traffic. Datahound's seeding alone generated about 20 announces per second on average, and with the rest of the members it maybe averaged double that. It possibly had peak demands of maybe 150 per second. I can't see a PHP tracker and spinning harddisks handling such a load. With one of the compiled trackers (Ocelot), 150 per second is nothing. So whatever happens, TTD will either have to use a compiled tracker (and SSDs), or somehow reduce the load (fewer torrents and/or members). Dime chose to limit the number of seeded torrents to 30 per member (60 for VIP). An alternative would be to use file hosting sites and not bittorrent. It would create new issues but seems to work better for other sites. The following members like this post: WilliamFruntz

Re: TTD not well.. download strategy to use (UPDATED!)
IMHO your suggestion of limiting the active torrents makes good sense. Lossless Legs discourages members continuing to seed torrents that are more than a couple of weeks old. Folks could always post reseed requests as needed.
I'd be sad to see TTD switch to file hosting sites - it is handy to be able to download a single track to sample the quality of a show, and this, plus the extra info available when a torrent fileset is posted, is very useful in checking against one's existing copies of a show to see if the "new" torrent represents a possible upgrade. The website represents a vast trove of knowledge and discussion, and, even if closed to new members and/or limited as to torrents per member, it would be great if it could be preserved. It would be a tragic loss to the community if TTD were to close completely. Take care and hope the Mayo Clinic can be of help for you. Alex |

Re: TTD not well.. download strategy to use (UPDATED!)
I asked this elsewhere, but this seems like a more appropriate place: I know we were supposed to pull down any shows that were older than 30 days. Given the site's sad possible future, is it okay to turn them back on again, or will that just wreak havoc?

Re: TTD not well.. download strategy to use (UPDATED!)
Once a torrent is removed from the site (put in the Inactive Torrent forums), then it is gone and would need to be reuploaded again.
