no data received from tracker

Whoa, back up a step, my advice was for your personal information ie. it will help with the display of stats in your torrent client.

There is NOTHING you can do to influence the stats displayed on TPB. They will show what they show regardless of whether you're seeding or not. Regardless of whether you're announcing or not. And they are never reliable to the degree of accuracy you're seeking (the individual seeder level): not only does the bittorrent protocol not even attempt to provide that sort of reliability but the trackers in question all deliberately misreport swarms.

TPB doesn't look at DHT, and it only looks at the trackers it looks at. Adding trackers to your torrents (either in your client or in torrents you reupload) won't achieve anything because TPB won't even look at them.

Gah well that sucks. Thanks for the info. We'll just see how all this plays out then, I guess if the trackers in question quit having their hiccup things should return back to the way it was which works perfectly ok for me.

This just turned up http://torrentfreak.com/worlds-largest-b...ne-140226/

It's as "official" as you're going to get. [Read between the lines though: it's mere coincidence that (at least) the two largest trackers in the world have closed for extended periods of planned maintenance at the exact same time? ]

I can live with this, props for them finally communicating with the community about the issue. Looking forward to it being fixed and working again in the next week or so

Everything looking good, trackers back up and running and my torrent seeding stats on TPB website have returned to normal.

Good stuff!
