Sad to notice TTD is going away

I'm an admin at Zomb. I'll try to figure out the max users things with the site owner. Can't promise anything. Zomb is running on old codes too...

Zomb has sadly been somewhat quiet for several years now. Active userbase has shrunk significantly and uploads and stuff along with it.

I wonder if http://electricladyland.synology.me might be a viable alternative for the stuff unacceptable at Dime? The site is usually slow to connect, but fully functional. It's not exclusively a Hendrix tracker either, barely at all, in fact.

I'm still confused, though. That 3gb torrent (it's the Stones In Color DVD, btw, added today) is still running perfectly - no errors, red flags or any sign that anything is wrong - so I'll ask again - why must TTD close?

I am running EL on my private server, so thats the reason why it's slow, but free of costs. And I'm a Stones fan, but also Hendrix, so just named it after Hendrix' double LP. The folks most active on EL are the Dylan folks.
We have no issues with "unacceptable" stuff, as longs as things are not overdone. We usually say that up to 10% of "questionable" stuff on a torrent ist accepted.

Glad to hear it

Wow !! What big news. Completely understandable but sad nonetheless. TTD will be missed!! A massive, massive thanks to all the folks who kept it running and the moderators. We can never thank you enough.

Inactive torrents had been accumulating for years without any pruning. I wrote a browser script to delete unseeded torrents a few months ago. It pruned about 50% of the torrents available at the time (unseeded for a year or more). I don't have database access so this sub optimal method was a result of that

I'm very sad to hear that the traders den is shutting down The community that lead me become a taper and where I really started collecting tapes is going away I don't really have any words I always thought this website would be around.

Oh bollocks. First I discover I'm not the new king after all and then TTD goes down forever!! I blame those assholes in the government!!
Thanks to everyone involved for the many surprises and shared pleasures during the last 14 years of my membership. Health and happiness to you all.

Now I need to figure out how to archive some of the comment threads from here. Like some of the hilarious Freezer ones.

In the upper right "Thread Tools" you can pull down "Download This Thread" and it will save it as a text file.

Having been here since close to the beginning, this is a sad thing, however inevitable that the forum would cease to run on deprecated software.

Having said that, this community need not die, it just needs to adapt.

All it takes is a forum and cloud sharing. Simply share your files from your Google drive or Dropbox etc. HTTPS is faster and more secure. Use a seedbox with Opencloud on it. Use DHT torrents and post magnet links instead of .torrent links.

YOU HAVE OPTIONS! Yeah I know here come the skeptics, but trust me, this works well, all it needs is community to grow, just like TTD did at the start.

Simply migrate to a free forum account, Rebuild the subforums and start posting hyperlinks.

Thank you to everyone who run this site and contribute. Im shocked to be reading the site coming to an end. Thank you for 18 great years of hard work.

[duaneday]

Sincere thanks for all you've done to create this site and keep it going this long. And thanks to all of the uploaders who've shared so much great music. I enjoyed the chance to share a few goodies here, too, but it's very little compared to what many of you have given!!

[dylanstubs]

Thank you for everything you've done for the trading community. You were one of the best sites around, and will be missed.

[doobiezz]

WOW... I got a lot of great music (& videos) here!
Thanks for everything & best of luck in your future endeavours.

Sad.
If you're into collection jazz concerts, I started my own Facebook group where there is live concerts available to download.

So sad to know this. TTD became part of my life, I got so many great records here. It was a wild ride. I hope some other trackers can replace over here.
