Who Are We?
We are Christians that believe in Jesus Christ as Savior and Lord.
The goal of this ministry is to proclaim the Gospel throughout the world via Bittorrent.
Our hope is also that this site will be a resource to anyone that wants an answer, Lord willing in the future we hope to host alot more material to better equip the Saints.
Why are we so strict on piracy?
We are strict about the legitimacy of the content on this site because we strongly believe that it is wrong to pirate material, no matter what the purpose.
Why?
1. The Bible says not to steal.
"Rom 13:9 For this, Thou shalt not commit adultery, Thou shalt not kill, Thou shalt not steal, Thou shalt not bear false witness, Thou shalt not covet; and if [there be] any other commandment, it is briefly comprehended in this saying, namely, Thou shalt love thy neighbour as thyself."
Following that verse, the question is, does it seem loving to copy data that you do not have permission to copy?
I realize some would argue that this would not apply because your not taking a physical object, so let us go to the final point.
2. We are to be in subjection to authority, and what they say goes unless it contradicts God's Word. Therefore we submit and obey regarding this.
Titus 3:1 Put them in mind to be subject to principalities and powers, to obey magistrates, to be ready to every good work,
What Kind of Content do we Accept?
When posting torrents on the site, we try and post only those speakers that give sound doctrine.
This one is not up for debate, we will not host up anything for any other religion, nor will we host things that questionable.
I realize this subject may offend some and that may be, but this will not change period no matter who it offends.
The main things we are looking at when accepting content that is teaching God's Word is the following:
1. It teaches that Jesus is the God-Man.
2. It does not teach that the church has replaced Israel.
3. It is not KJV only.
4. It is not from a cult group.
5. It does not pull scriptures out of context.
6. It is not a woman pastor. To Clarify further, a Testimony, or a woman speaking on a subject such as a cult that is fine. However we do not find much else to be Biblically sound. (1 Timothy 2:12)
7. It fits with what this site believes & is not in what we do not believe.
Videos:
In general if the content is good it probably will be accepted, unless it is teaching, then what was stated above will be used.

What do We Believe?
(The Following was copied from one of the Calvary Chapel sites because it fit perfectly.)
1. We believe the Bible to be the inspired and only infallible, authoritative Word of God. Therefore, our ministry emphasizes the exposition of God's Word from Genesis to Revelation, line upon line, precept upon precept.
2. We believe that there is one God, eternally existent in three Persons: Father, Son, and Holy Spirit. - For more information scroll down.
3. We believe in the deity of Christ, in His Virgin Birth, in His sinless life, in His miracles, in His vicarious and atoning death through His shed blood, in His bodily resurrection, in His ascension to the right hand of the Father, and in His personal return in power and glory.
4. We believe that for the salvation of lost and sinful man, regeneration by the Holy Spirit is essential, and that repentance from sin and acceptance of Jesus Christ as Lord and Savior is the only way to come into a relationship with God.
5. We believe in the present ministry of the Holy Spirit, by whose indwelling the Christian is enabled to live a godly life; we further believe His power and gifts are available to believers today.
6. We believe in the resurrection of both the saved and the lost: they that are saved unto the resurrection of life, and they that are lost unto the resurrection of damnation.
7. We believe the Bible teaches a pre-tribulational rapture.
8. We believe that the Israeli people have the right to the land as promised to Abraham as an everlasting covenant.
We believe no one has the right to take the land from them.
(Genesis 17:7, Genesis 12:3)
Trinity
The Bible clearly teaches that there is only one God (Deuteronomy 6:4); (Isaiah 43:11); (44:6); (1 Corinthians 8:4); (Ephesians 4:6); (1 Timothy 2:5); At the same time, the Bible plainly indicates a plurality within God's nature, consisting of the three eternal and coequal persons: the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit, each the same in basic nature, but distinct in existence.
The word "Trinity"
Although the word Trinity does not appear in the Bible, the doctrine of the Trinity is a factual conclusion, reached by comparing and combining relevant scriptural truths. "We are setting these truths forth in words not taught by human wisdom but taught by the [Holy] Spirit, combining and interpreting spiritual truths with spiritual language [to those who posses the Holy Spirit]" (1 Corinthians 2:13)
The Trinity is one of the great mysteries of the Bible that cannot be fathomed by the finite mind. Yet if God were small enough to figure out, He wouldn't be big enough to worship. The Bible tells us that God's thoughts are not our thoughts, nor are His ways our ways (Isaiah 55:8-9);. Though we will never fully understand the doctrine of the Trinity, there is no reasonable doubt that it is clearly taught in the Bible.
The Father Is God
The Bible teaches that God is all-knowing (Job 37:16); (Romans 11:33);, all-powerful (Genesis 1:1-3); (Job 42:2);, all-present (Psalm 139:7-12),; eternal (Exodus 3:4;);(Revelation 1:8);, unchangeable (Malachi 3:6);(James 1:17);, holy (Isaiah 57:15); (1 Peter 1:15-16);, righteous and just (Psalm 116:5); merciful and gracious (Psalm 103:8);, and able to forgive sin (Exodus 34:6-7; (Mark 2:7); The Bible ascribes these characteristics to God alone.
The Son, Jesus Christ, Is God
The Bible ascribes the same attributes of God to His Son; Jesus Christ (Matthew 1:21-23); (Luke 5:20-24);(John 1:1);,(14); (8:58) ;(16:30); (17:5);(Hebrews 13:8);. Jesus Christ is worshiped (Matthew 14:31-33); (28:9;);(Hebrews 1:6); He is called God (Isaiah 9:6;); (Matthew 1:21-23); (John 1:1);(14); (20:28);, and He can forgive sins(Luke 5:20-24); (John 10:30-33);. These attributes are ascribed to God alone (also see: "Jesus Christ").
The Holy Spirit Is God
The activities and Characteristics of God are attributed to the Holy Spirit (Psalm 139:7-10); (Luke 1:35); (11:13); John 14:26); (Hebrews 9:14);. The Holy Spirit is a person (John 16:13-15); (Romans 8:27); (1 Corinthians 2:10-13);; (12:11),; He is Creator (Genesis 1:2); (Job 33:4),; and He is called God (Acts 5:1-11).; (Also see: "The Holy Spirit.")
A Rational, Biblical Conclusion
For the above reasons and more, we are left with no other rational, biblical conclusion than to believe that God the Father, God the Son (Jesus Christ), and God the Holy Spirit exist as a Holy Trinity: the one God of the Bible. There is no question of the existence of the Trinity. The only question is one of belief. We should want to know GOD not as we think He should be, but simply as the Bible reveals HIM to be.
What We Don't Believe
1. We don't believe in the KJV only trend that keeps popping up.
2. We don't believe that Jesus is Michael the Arch Angel.
3. We don't believe that Jesus is the brother of Lucifer.
4. We don't believe that the Church has taken the role of Israel.
5. We don't believe in evolution.
6. We don't believe the earth was created over millions/billions of years.
7. We do not believe in the big bang except, for the saying which goes "God said it and bang it happend." :)
8. We are neither Calvinist nor Armenist, we are in the middle.
9. We are not into the emerging church.

I registered an account but did not receive the confirmation e-mail!
You can use this form to delete the account so you can re-register.Note though that if you didn't receive the email the first time it will probably notsucceed the second time either so you should really try another email address.
I've lost my user name or password! Can you send it to me?
Please use this form to have the login details mailed back to you.
Can you rename my account?
We do not rename accounts. Please create a new one. (Use this form todelete your present account.)
Can you delete my (confirmed) account?
You can do it yourself by using this form.
So, what's MY ratio?
Click on your profile, then on your user name (at the top).
It's important to distinguish between your overall ratio and the individual ratio on each torrentyou may be seeding or leeching. The overall ratio takes into account the total uploaded and downloadedfrom your account since you joined the site. The individual ratio takes into account those values for each torrent.
You may see two symbols instead of a number: "";Inf."";, which is just an abbreviation for Infinity, andmeans that you have downloaded 0 bytes while uploading a non-zero amount (ul/dl becomes infinity);"; "";---"";,which should be read as "";non-available"";, and shows up when you have both downloaded and uploaded 0 bytes(ul/dl = 0/0 which is an indeterminate amount).
Why is my IP displayed on my details page?
Only you and the site moderators can view your IP address and email. Regular users do not see that information.
Help! I cannot login!?
This problem sometimes occurs with MSIE. Close all Internet Explorer windows and open Internet Options in the control panel. Click the Delete Cookies button. You should now be able to login.
My IP address is dynamic. How do I stay logged in?
You do not have to anymore. All you have to do is make sure you are logged in with your actualIP when starting a torrent session. After that, even if the IP changes mid-session,the seeding or leeching will continue and the statistics will update without any problem.
Why is my port number reported as "---"? (And why should I care?)
The tracker has determined that you are firewalled or NATed and cannot accept incoming connections.
This means that other peers in the swarm will be unable to connect to you, only you to them. Even worse,if two peers are both in this state they will not be able to connect at all. This has obviously adetrimental effect on the overall speed.
The way to solve the problem involves opening the ports used for incoming connections(the same range you defined in your client) on the firewall and/or configuring yourNAT server to use a basic form of NATfor that range instead of NAPT (the actual process differs widely between different router models.Check your router documentation and/or support forum. You will also find lots of information on thesubject at PortForward).
| |
|
Most common reason for stats not updating
- The user is cheating. (a.k.a. "";Summary Ban"";)
- The server is overloaded and unresponsive. Just try to keep the session open until the server responds again. (Flooding the server with consecutive manual updates is not recommended.)
How does NAT/ICS change the picture?
This is a very particular case in that all computers in the LAN will appear to the outside world as having the same IP. We must distinguishbetween two cases:
1. You are the single user in the LAN
You should use the same account in all the computers.
Note also that in the ICS case it is preferable to run the BT client on the ICS gateway. Clients running on the other computerswill be unconnectable (their ports will be listed as "";---"";, as explained elsewhere in the FAQ) unless you specifythe appropriate services in your ICS configuration (a good explanation of how to do this for Windows XP can be foundhere).In the NAT case you should configure different ranges for clients on different computers and create appropriate NAT rules in the router. (Details vary widely from router to router and are outside the scope of this FAQ. Check your router documentation and/or support forum.)
2. There are multiple users in the LAN
At present there is no way of making this setup always work properly.Each torrent will be associated with the user who last accessed the site from withinthe LAN before the torrent was started.Unless there is cooperation between the users mixing of statistics is possible.(User A accesses the site, downloads a .torrent file, but does not start the torrent immediately.Meanwhile, user B accesses the site. User A then starts the torrent. The torrent will counttowards user B's statistics, not user A's.)
It is your LAN, the responsibility is yours. Do not ask us to ban other userswith the same IP, we will not do that. (Why should we ban him instead of you?)
Best practices
- If a torrent you are currently leeching/seeding is not listed on your profile, just wait or force a manual update.
- Make sure you exit your client properly, so that the tracker receives "";event=completed"";.
- If the tracker is down, do not stop seeding. As long as the tracker is back up before you exit the client the stats should update properly.
May I use any bittorrent client?
Yes. The tracker now updates the stats correctly for all bittorrent clients. However, we still recommendthat you avoid the following clients:
• BitTorrent++,
• Nova Torrent,
• TorrentStorm.
These clients do not report correctly to the tracker when canceling/finishing a torrent session.If you use them then a few MB may not be counted towardsthe stats near the end, and torrents may still be listed in your profile for some time after you have closed the client.
Also, clients in alpha or beta version should be avoided.
Why is a torrent I'm leeching/seeding listed several times in my profile?
If for some reason (e.g. pc crash, or frozen client) your client exits improperly and you restart it,it will have a new peer_id, so it will show as a new torrent. The old one will never receive a "";event=completed"";or "";event=stopped""; and will be listed until some tracker timeout. Just ignore it, it will eventually go away.
I've finished or cancelled a torrent. Why is it still listed in my profile?
Some clients, notably TorrentStorm and Nova Torrent, do not report properly to the tracker when canceling or finishing a torrent.In that case the tracker will keep waiting for some message - and thus listing the torrent as seeding or leeching - until sometimeout occurs. Just ignore it, it will eventually go away.
Why do I sometimes see torrents I'm not leeching in my profile!?
When a torrent is first started, the tracker uses the IP to identify the user. Therefore the torrent willbecome associated with the user who last accessed the site from that IP. If you share your IP in someway (you are behind NAT/ICS, or using a proxy), and some of the persons you share it with are also users,you may occasionally see their torrents listed in your profile. (If they start a torrent session from thatIP and you were the last one to visit the site the torrent will be associated with you). Note that nowtorrents listed in your profile will always count towards your total stats.

Why can't I upload torrents?
Only specially authorized users (Uploaders) have permission to upload torrents.
This is done to prevent people from uploading pirated files.
What criteria must I meet before I can join the Uploader team?
You must be able to provide releases that:
• include a proper NFO,
• are genuine non-copyrighted or copyrighted but you own the copyright or have permission.
• Also you'll need to be able to seed, or make sure are well-seeded, for at least 24 hours.
• you should *Not required* have atleast 2MBit upload bandwith.
Alternatively:
If you would like to help out with Living Torrents's releases we would be greatful!
However we do require the following:
• You must include an nfo file for any release that has more than one file, if it is one it is up to your descrection whether to do this or not.
• You must use BitSpirit's torrent maker program for creating torrents.
• You must include in every torrent description at least the Speaker, Title, and type of media. Further description is optional.
• You must include in every torrent description at the bottom the place that the file origionated and the website if applicable, also you must include Living Torrents with the web address below that.
• For Zola Levitt Presents releases, please ask MMPD before releasing the first release, as there is a special procedure that must be done with AVI files. If it is .rm from levitt.tv go ahead and release it.
• After you release a torrent if you know of any torrent sites, if you like you may post it up to other sites, but please make sure there are at least 2 seeds to start with as if the torrent is flooded with one seed things could take forever to upload.
• If you have any questions please private message MMPD.
If you think you can match these criteria please contact MMPD.
Remember! Write your application carefully! Be sure to include your UL speed and what kind of stuff you're planning to upload, your statement of faith, as well as what church you belong to.
Only well written letters with serious intent will be considered.
Please also note if you have only been registered a week, you probably will not be considered for this unless you own the copyright of what you want to upload.
Please remember You must own the copyright or have permission, there are no exceptions to this rule! Also DO NOT use the application, private messages only will be accepted.

How do I use the files I've downloaded?
Will be rewritten in future.
Downloaded a movie and don't know what CAM/TS/TC/SCR means?
Will be rewritten in future.
Why did an active torrent suddenly disappear?
There may be three reasons for this:
(1) The torrent may have been out-of-sync with the siterules.
(2) The uploader may have deleted it because it was a bad release.A replacement will probably be uploaded to take its place.
(3) Torrents are automatically deleted after 28 days.
How do I resume a broken download or reseed something?
Open the .torrent file. When your client asks you for a location, choose the location of the existing file(s) and it will resume/reseed the torrent.
Why do my downloads sometimes stall at 99%?
The more pieces you have, the harder it becomes to find peers who have pieces you are missing. That is why downloads sometimes slow down or even stall when there are just a few percent remaining. Just be patient and you will, sooner or later, get the remaining pieces.
What are these "a piece has failed an hash check" messages?
Bittorrent clients check the data they receive for integrity. When a piece fails this check it isautomatically re-downloaded. Occasional hash fails are a common occurrence, and you shouldn't worry.
Some clients have an (advanced) option/preference to 'kick/ban clients that send you bad data' orsimilar. It should be turned on, since it makes sure that if a peer repeatedly sends you pieces thatfail the hash check it will be ignored in the future.
The torrent is supposed to be 100MB. How come I downloaded 120MB?
See the hash fails topic. If your client receives bad data it will have to redownload it, thereforethe total downloaded may be larger than the torrent size. Make sure the "";kick/ban""; option is turned onto minimize the extra downloads.
Why do I get a "Not authorized (xx h) - READ THE FAQ" error?
From the time that each new torrent is uploaded to the tracker, there is a period of time thatsome users must wait before they can download it.
This delay in downloading will only affect users with a low ratio, and users with low upload amounts.
| Ratio below | 0.50 | "; | and/or upload below | 5.0GB | "; | delay of | 48h | | Ratio below | 0.65 | "; | and/or upload below | 6.5GB | "; | delay of | 24h | | Ratio below | 0.80 | "; | and/or upload below | 8.0GB | "; | delay of | 12h | | Ratio below | 0.95 | "; | and/or upload below | 9.5GB | "; | delay of | 06h |
"And/or" means any or both. Your delay will be the largest one for which you meet at least one condition.
This applies to new users as well, so opening a new account will not help. Note also that thisworks at tracker level, you will be able to grab the .torrent file itself at any time.
N.B. Due to some users exploiting the 'no-delay-for-seeders' policy we had to change it. The delaynow applies to both seeding and leeching. So if you are subject to a delay and get the files fromsome other source you will not be able to seed them until the delay has elapsed.
Why do I get a "rejected by tracker - Port xxxx is blacklisted" error?
Your client is reporting to the tracker that it uses one of the default bittorrent ports(6881-6889) or any other common p2p port for incoming connections.
This tracker does not allow clients to use ports commonly associated with p2p protocols.The reason for this is that it is a common practice for ISPs to throttle those ports(that is, limit the bandwidth, hence the speed).
The blocked ports list include, but is not neccessarily limited to, the following:
| Direct Connect | 411 - 413 | | Kazaa | 1214 | | eDonkey | 4662 | | Gnutella | 6346 - 6347 | | BitTorrent | 6881 - 6889 |
In order to use use our tracker you must configure your client to useany port range that does not contain those ports (a range within the region 49152 through 65535 is preferable,cf. IANA). Notice that some clients,like Azureus 2.0.7.0 or higher, use a single port for all torrents, while most others use one port per open torrent. The sizeof the range you choose should take this into account (typically less than 10 ports wide. Thereis no benefit whatsoever in choosing a wide range, and there are possible security implications).
These ports are used for connections between peers, not client to tracker.Therefore this change will not interfere with your ability to use other trackers (in fact itshould increase your speed with torrents from any tracker, not just ours). Your clientwill also still be able to connect to peers that are using the standard ports.If your client does not allow custom ports to be used, you will have to switch to one that does.
Do not ask us, or in the forums, which ports you should choose. The more random the choice is the harderit will be for ISPs to catch on to us and start limiting speeds on the ports we use.If we simply define another range ISPs will start throttling that range also.
Finally, remember to forward the chosen ports in your router and/or open them in yourfirewall, should you have them.
What's this "IOError - [Errno13] Permission denied" error?
If you just want to fix it reboot your computer, it should solve the problem.Otherwise read on.
IOError means Input-Output Error, and that is a file system error, not a tracker one.It shows up when your client is for some reason unable to open the partially downloadedtorrent files. The most common cause is two instances of the client to be runningsimultaneously:the last time the client was closed it somehow didn't really close but kept running in thebackground, and is therefore stilllocking the files, making it impossible for the new instance to open them.
A more uncommon occurrence is a corrupted FAT. A crash may result in corruptionthat makes the partially downloaded files unreadable, and the error ensues. Runningscandisk should solve the problem. (Note that this may happen only if you're runningWindows 9x - which only support FAT - or NT/2000/XP with FAT formatted hard drives.NTFS is much more robust and should never permit this problem.)
What's this "TTL" in the browse page?
The torrent's Time To Live, in hours. It means the torrent will be deletedfrom the tracker after that many hours have elapsed (yes, even if it is still active).Note that this a maximum value, the torrent may be deleted at any time if it's inactive.

| How can I improve my download speed? - Top | | | |
|
Do not immediately jump on new torrents
The download speed mostly depends on the seeder-to-leecher ratio (SLR). Poor download speed ismainly a problem with new and very popular torrents where the SLR is low.
(Proselytising sidenote: make sure you remember that you did not enjoy the low speed.Seed so that others will not endure the same.)
There are a couple of things that you can try on your end to improve your speed:
In particular, do not do it if you have a slow connection. The best speeds will be found around thehalf-life of a torrent, when the SLR will be at its highest. (The downside is that you will not be able to seedso much. It's up to you to balance the pros and cons of this.)
Limit your upload speed
The upload speed affects the download speed in essentially two ways:
- Bittorrent peers tend to favour those other peers that upload to them. This means that if A and B are leeching the same torrent and A is sending data to B at high speed then B will try to reciprocate. So due to this effect high upload speeds lead to high download speeds.
- Due to the way TCP works, when A is downloading something from B it has to keep telling B that it received the data sent to him. (These are called acknowledgements - ACKs -, a sort of "";got it!""; messages). If A fails to do this then B will stop sending data and wait. If A is uploading at full speed there may be no bandwidth left for the ACKs and they will be delayed. So due to this effect excessively high upload speeds lead to low download speeds.
The full effect is a combination of the two. The upload should be kept as high as possible while allowing theACKs to get through without delay. A good thumb rule is keeping the upload at about 80% of the theoreticalupload speed. You will have to fine tune yours to find out what works best for you. (Remember that keeping theupload high has the additional benefit of helping with your ratio.)
If you are running more than one instance of a client it is the overall upload speed that you must take into account.Some clients (e.g. Azureus) limit global upload speed, others (e.g. Shad0w's) do it on a per torrent basis.Know your client. The same applies if you are using your connection for anything else (e.g. browsing or ftp),always think of the overall upload speed.
Limit the number of simultaneous connections
Some operating systems (like Windows 9x) do not deal well with a large number of connections, and may even crash.Also some home routers (particularly when running NAT and/or firewall with stateful inspection services) tend to becomeslow or crash when having to deal with too many connections. There are no fixed values for this, you may try 60 or 100and experiment with the value. Note that these numbers are additive, if you have two instances ofa client running the numbers add up.
Limit the number of simultaneous uploads
Isn't this the same as above? No. Connections limit the number of peers your client is talking to and/ordownloading from. Uploads limit the number of peers your client is actually uploading to. The ideal number istypically much lower than the number of connections, and highly dependent on your (physical) connection.
Just give it some time
As explained above peers favour other peers that upload to them. When you start leeching a new torrent you havenothing to offer to other peers and they will tend to ignore you. This makes the starts slow, in particular if,by change, the peers you are connected to include few or no seeders. The download speed should increase as soonas you have some pieces to share.
Why is my browsing so slow while leeching?
Your download speed is always finite. If you are a peer in a fast torrent it will almost certainly saturate yourdownload bandwidth, and your browsing will suffer. At the moment there is no client that allows you to limit thedownload speed, only the upload. You will have to use a third-party solution,such as NetLimiter.
Browsing was used just as an example, the same would apply to gaming, IMing, etc...

| My ISP uses a transparent proxy. What should I do? - Top | | | |
|
What is a proxy?
Basically a middleman. When you are browsing a site through a proxy your requests are sent to the proxy and the proxyforwards them to the site instead of you connecting directly to the site. There are several classifications(the terminology is far from standard):
| ";Transparent | "; | A transparent proxy is one that needs no configuration on the clients. It works by automatically redirecting all port 80 traffic to the proxy. (Sometimes used as synonymous for non-anonymous.) | | ";Explicit/Voluntary | "; | Clients must configure their browsers to use them. | | ";Anonymous | "; | The proxy sends no client identification to the server. (HTTP_X_FORWARDED_FOR header is not sent;"; the server does not see your IP.) | | ";Highly Anonymous | "; | The proxy sends no client nor proxy identification to the server. (HTTP_X_FORWARDED_FOR, HTTP_VIA and HTTP_PROXY_CONNECTION headers are not sent;"; the server doesn't see your IP and doesn't even know you're using a proxy.) | | ";Public | "; | (Self explanatory) |
A transparent proxy may or may not be anonymous, and there are several levels of anonymity.
How do I find out if I'm behind a (transparent/anonymous) proxy?
Try ProxyJudge. It lists the HTTP headers that the server where it is runningreceived from you. The relevant ones are HTTP_CLIENT_IP, HTTP_X_FORWARDED_FOR and REMOTE_ADDR.
Why is my port listed as "";---""; even though I'm not NAT/Firewalled?
The tracker is quite smart at finding your real IP, but it does need the proxy to send the HTTP headerHTTP_X_FORWARDED_FOR. If your ISP's proxy does not then what happens is that the tracker will interpret the proxy's IPaddress as the client's IP address. So when you login and the tracker tries to connect to your client to see if you areNAT/firewalled it will actually try to connect to the proxy on the port your client reports to be using forincoming connections. Naturally the proxy will not be listening on that port, the connection will fail and thetracker will think you are NAT/firewalled.
Can I bypass my ISP's proxy?
If your ISP only allows HTTP traffic through port 80 or blocks the usual proxy ports then you would need to use somethinglike socks and that is outside the scope of this FAQ.
Otherwise you may try the following:
- Choose any public non-anonymous proxy that does not use port 80 (e.g. from this, this or this list).
- Configure your computer to use that proxy. For Windows XP, do Start, Control Panel, Internet Options, Connections, LAN Settings, Use a Proxy server, Advanced and type in the IP and port of your chosen proxy. Or from Internet Explorer use Tools, Internet Options, ...
- (Facultative) Visit ProxyJudge. If you see an HTTP_X_FORWARDED_FOR in the list followed by your IP then everything should be ok, otherwise choose another proxy and try again.
- Visit this site. Hopefully the tracker will now pickup your real IP (check your profile to make sure).
Notice that now you will be doing all your browsing through a public proxy, which are typically quite slow.Communications between peers do not use port 80 so their speed will not be affected by this, and should be better than whenyou were "";unconnectable"";.
How do I make my bittorrent client use a proxy?
Just configure Windows XP as above. When you configure a proxy for Internet Explorer you're actually configuring a proxy forall HTTP traffic (thank Microsoft and their "";IE as part of the OS policy""; ). On the other hand if you use anotherbrowser (Opera/Mozilla/Firefox) and configure a proxy there you'll be configuring a proxy just for that browser. We don'tknow of any BT client that allows a proxy to be specified explicitly.
Why can't I signup from behind a proxy?
It is our policy not to allow new accounts to be opened from behind a proxy.

| Why can't I connect? Is the site blocking me? - Top | | | |

Maybe my address is blacklisted?
The site blocks addresses listed in the (former) PeerGuardiandatabase, as well as addresses of banned users. This works at Apache/PHP level, it's just a script thatblocks logins from those addresses. It should not stop you from reaching the site. In particularit does not block lower level protocols, you should be able to ping/traceroute the server even if youraddress is blacklisted. If you cannot then the reason for the problem lies elsewhere.
If somehow your address is indeed blocked in the PG database do not contact us about it, it is not ourpolicy to open ad hoc exceptions. You should clear your IP with the database maintainers instead.
Your ISP blocks the site's address
(In first place, it's unlikely your ISP is doing so. DNS name resolution and/or network problems are the usual culprits.)
There's nothing we can do.You should contact your ISP (or get a new one). Note that you can still visit the site via a proxy, follow the instructionsin the relevant section. In this case it doesn't matter if the proxy is anonymous or not, or which port it listens to.
Notice that you will always be listed as an "";unconnectable""; client because the tracker will be unable tocheck that you're capable of accepting incoming connections.
