Looking more broadly we see that the entire list has remained relatively intact this year. A few sites have switched places but none of the major torrenting sites disappeared, which by itself is already quite an achievement.

NYAA.si is a popular resurrection of the anime torrent site NYAA. While there is fierce competition from alternative pirate streaming sites, the torrent portal continues to do well, climbing one position compared to last year.
The original TV-torrent distribution group EZTV shut down after a hostile takeover in 2015, with new owners claiming ownership of the brand. The group switched to a new domain last year and was inadvertently blocked in the Netherlands because it shared an IP-address with The Pirate Bay.
Fitgirl Repacks is by no means a traditional torrent site. It is the home of a popular group that releases slimmed down cracked versions of popular games, which keeps download times to a minimum. They publish torrents on other sites but also offer magnet links of their own, which is why we included the site here.
Everything is already in buckets. Even if we use the suggested by the bit torrent document system we can quicker find the bucket which could potentially contain the requested node id simply enumerating buckets and checking the minimum and maximum numbers on it. Then potentially that bucket should contain the closes nodes but they are value closest nodes not the XOR closest nodes (as I understand) which is somewhat different but somewhat similar.
Blocking Bittorrent is challenging, and can't really be done effectively with port blocks. The standard ports are 6881-6889 TCP, but the protocol can be run on any port, and the peer-to-peer nature of the protocol means that discovering peers that use unblocked ports is simple.
If you own the network and bandwidth is your big issue, then you would be best served by a bandwidth monitoring solution. Quality-of-service (QOS) control and bandwidth caps for endpoints could limit the impact the Bittorrent users are having on your overall bandwidth, without the cat-and-mouse game of trying to block a particular protocol.
Another approach would be to block the types of connections that Bittorrent requires. As a peer-to-peer protocol, peers outside your network need to connect in. A firewall could prohibit incoming connections to your user subnet, while permitting them to your intended outward-facing services. An IPS could put a threshold on the number of incoming and outgoing connections, since Bittorrent clients need to connect to multiple peers (and have multiple peers connect to them) in order to function.
Torrent programs can use both TCP and UDP ports.Bad news : you probably don't know torrent proxies that runs on port 80 ? They allow users to redirect their torrent traffic to the regular port 80, so you won't be able to do anything with ports.
Alternative : you could search for a list of popular torrent trackers and ban their IP (eg the most famous French tracker is tracker.t411.me : block it and the problem is solved. Users still can use proxies and VPN, but most of them will be discouraged). Search for torrent proxies too.
I selected Seedleech.com from The Beehive Tracker List, starting at the top and working my way down. #46 of 50, Seedleech.com, was the first tracker on that list that would accomodate the torrent, and it certainly seems to be working. After 3 hours, the torrent has 8 peers, of which 2 are seeders. Also, the .torrent info has been picked up from Seedleech.com by TorrentPortal. I learned a fair amount in the process - for instance, encyclopedic/educational themed torrents don't have many places that want to track them. Hopefully this exercise will help to get wpcd.zip back into more active play. -- Paleorthid 21:18, 1 August 2006 (UTC)Reply[reply]
Today I came across two high-availability (6.5 and 2.5: >1 availability is good) torrents of Wikipedia iso files, one with images (7.5 Gig), one without (2.48 Gig). They are dated December 9, 2005. The torrents are available from BlogLoads.de, and linked to byisoHunt. TorrentBox is also tracking the torrent for the larger iso, but the BlogLoads.de tracker has the availability. I assume these are the German language versions of Wikipedia mentioned in Wikipedia 1.0: Offline releases of the English language Wikipedia. -- Paleorthid 18:28, 2 August 2006 (UTC)Reply[reply]
I got organized here, making a list of torrents, trackers, and ed2k info. Also I made an iso from the wpcd.zip, got an ed2k for the iso, made a torrent and uploaded it. I am seeding it and will mail the torrent to NominalAdversary. I have laid out some observations about a favored approach as to what announce urls to include in created torrents. It is in line with what NominalAdversary aka Seth has figured out already: stuff the torrent with diverse announce urls to make up for the fact that individually, announce urls seem prone to getting stale or going offline. Enjoy. -- Paleorthid 07:17, 8 August 2006 (UTC)Reply[reply]
Do not upload our torrents to other trackers! and this generates a lot of frustration and bad-will means we have been in error to include bitThailand and Cyberstorm announce urls in the initial two wpcd.zip.torrents that WP torrent project prepared. This requires a change in behavior on our part. -- Paleorthid 07:17, 8 August 2006 (UTC)Reply[reply]
The Project Page is going to need a change, we're going to have to divide it up between anything thats German and then the WPCD release. Ontop of that we will have to subdivide each of them into their appropriate files. I think, we should create a subpage for WPCD release and German releases, because the Project Page is getting long and will continue to grow. The PocketPC release will also have its own page, but if there is a PDA version--that will be on the same page as the PocketPC. The talk pages of each seperate release will hold "questions/comments/problems" this way the Project Talk Page will not get cluttered and we won't have that incident where we really don't know which ed2k and torrent files we have or dont have. Continuing, on each individual release page the divisions will occur for each seperate file, and the possible means to get them (torrent or e2dk link) undeneath. Finally, since we're not just covering the torrent distribution anymore I think we need to change our name from Torrent Project to something else. Distribution Project perhaps, but then it would seem as if we covered handing out cds and an actual encyclopedia. Open for suggestions, lots of suggestions....

I was wondering if anyone has tried using Utorrent in their Laptop/Desktop and setting up the download location as WD My cloud. I know we have a Transmission build for WD , but i just dont want to install it and mess it up.
This first trickle of what would become a virtual torrent of emigrating saints crossing the seas to America began in 1840. The first mission in 1837-38, under the leadership of Heber C. Kimball, had given no instructions about emigration to the some 1,600 converts. But with the advent of the apostolic mission to the British Isles the brethren began to actively encourage the members to gather to Zion. Before the end of the century, some 45,000 new converts from Britain and Scandinavia emigrated. Most of the British converts would emigrate, so much so that for some 50 years the Church membership was predominately British. 2ff7e9595c
