It looks there are a couple of possible replacements under construction. They don't have any real open sign-ups yet, though.

thanks for this.ridleybradout wrote:This might look dodgy, but it's safe - basically a less organised Russian version of What (as a good chunk of it's content was simply lifted from there).

I've got really fast internet & the latest version of UTorrent. Anyone have ideas as to why I seem to be unable to upload/seed after torrents have finished downloading?

Not port forwarded?

It appears that I am. Could be some more advanced settings I'm not privy to. There's a lot of confusing/conflicting info out there too on a quick google search.

If someone who is well-versed in this uploading/seeding business wants to help me out via PM, I will share the name of what seems like the first legit What replacement. (I had an old friend set up my client with the previous trackers & am now pretty lost)

I signed up there, but I used a dummy email since the open sign-ups make me nervous. There are a few others that arent accepting invites yet that I'm more interested in.

I'll do my best. There are like 3 replacements in the running right now, and only one "feels" like the same sort of carefully curated site. But invites aren't open yet.

In general, take the necessary precautions: an e-mail address made just for this with no relation to your real name, a username that's unique to the site, and a unique password. Use a VPN for extra security if you're worried.

If anyone was signed up for NoStream, get out now. A list of users' e-mails and IP addresses were leaked, and possibly passwords, too.

OK. here, finally is the story. Waffles went down for financial reasons, and stayed down due to staff issues that will not be hashed in public, don't bother asking. Lack of communication was because of the staff element, I was hoping the downtime would last a day or two at most at the beginning, but that obviously isn't what happened. This happened at a really inopportune time, we were just as surprised at what happened since we went down as you were.
We've changed hosts to get a situation that is within our current means. We still owe a debt to the old host that will need payment, and we still need money to pay it. Because we're changing hosts (and equipment), we don't know how long it will take before we are able to come back up. But I will make sure our twitter and this space are updated with news as it comes, particularly if an ETA arrives.
Some answers to frequently asked questions: No, we're not adopting gazelle. The amount of development time it would take to do that is not available. For now, things will be as they were when we went down.
No data appears to be lost, we have the site code as it was when we went offline.
We're keeping the current invite policy in place when we reopen. We recruit at a couple of private torrent sites, plus invites are open. So will we offer something more liberal? That depends on what we find our current capacity to be after we get set up.
That's all for now. Let's hope the migration goes simple and easy.

What's the take on L i b b l e? Is that the frontrunner right now? I would like an invite, if anyone has one.

Libble's been around since like 2007/2008, and from what I understand it's a stable tracker but limited in size.CopperTom wrote:What's the take on L i b b l e? Is that the frontrunner right now? I would like an invite, if anyone has one.
