Welcome to Torrent-Damage!
Our goal is not to become another Bytemonsoon or Suprnova (not dizzying either of them though).
The goal is to provide the absolutely latest stuff. Therefore, only specially authorised users have
permission to upload torrents. If you have access to 0-day stuff do not hesitate to
contact us!
This is a private tracker, and you have to register before you can get full access to the site.
Before you do anything here at Torrent-Damage we suggest you read the rules!
There are only a few rules to abide by, but we do enforce them!
Before you go any further you should read the Torrent-Damage user agreement.

What is this bittorrent all about anyway? How do I get the files?
Check out Brian's BitTorrent FAQ and Guide
How do I donate to Torrent-Damage?
Every page contains a graphic link at the bottom next to the disclaimer with the text Paypal Donate
Do I get upload stats / ratio for donating?
No you do not. Torrent-Damage is not a pay-for-leech tracker, and never will be. To see all the benefits of donating, visit the Paypal Donate page.
Where does the donated money go?
Torrent-Damage.net is situated on a dedicated server somewhere in the world. For the moment we have monthly running costs of approximately € 249. On a sidenote, all excess donations are kept strictly for usage on site's purpose.

User information - Top
I registered an account but did not receive the confirmation e-mail!
Use this form to get the confirmation re-sent to you.Note though that if you didn't receive the email the first time it will probably not succeed 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?
Renaming accounts is not done without good reason, and usually not done unless you are an elite member of our community (VIP and above). If you wish to request a name change please send a PM to one of the Administrators who will either grant or deny your wish.
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 torrent
you may be seeding or leeching. The overall ratio takes into account the total uploaded and downloaded
from 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, and
means 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!? (a.k.a. Login of Death)
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 actual
IP 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 does it say that I am not connectable? (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 a
detrimental 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 your
NAT server to use a basic form of NAT
for 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 the
subject at PortForward).
To check your connection to the tracker you can use this port tester.

How can my friend become a member?
When the site has over 40000 members, registration will be invite only. You will need an an invitation to register at that time.
Accounts inactive for more than 42 days are automatically deleted.
How do I add an avatar to my profile?
First, find an image that you like, and that is within the
rules. Then you will have
to find a place to host it, such as Photobucket,
Upload-It! or
ImageShack.
All that is left to do is copy the URL you were given when
uploading it to the avatar field in your profile.
Please do not make a post just to test your avatar. If everything is allright you'll see it
in your details page.
How long can I park my account for?
You can park your account for 120 days. If you want to be immune from inactivity then you can either log in within the 120 day period or donate enough to receive VIP status. Accounts which are not parked and not logged into within 42 days are pruned.

Stats - Top
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.)
- You are using a faulty client. If you want to use an experimental or CVS version you do it at your own risk.
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?
We recommend that you use one of the following clients:
• µTorrent,
• Azureus,
• BitTornado.
The following clients are banned from this tracker:
• BitComet,
• BitLord,
• outdated versions of all clients.
• µTorrent 1.7 & 1.7.1 (due bugs & security issue)
We still recommend that 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 towards
the 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 cancelling 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 some
timeout occurs. Just ignore it, it will eventually go away.
Multiple IPs (Can I login from different computers?)
Yes, the tracker is now capable of following sessions from different IPs for the same user. A torrent is associated with the user when it starts, and only at that moment is the IP relevant. So if you want to seed/leech from computer A and computer B with the same account you should access the site from computer A, start the torrent there, and then repeat both steps from computer B (not limited to two computers or to a single torrent on each, this is just the simplest example). You do not need to login again when closing the torrent.
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.
In the ICS case it is preferable to run the BT client on the ICS gateway. Clients running on the other computers
will be unconnectable (their ports will be listed as "---", as explained elsewhere in the FAQ) unless you specify
the appropriate services in your ICS configuration (a good explanation of how to do this for Windows XP can be found
here).
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.)

Uploading - Top
Why can't I upload torrents?
Only specially authorized users (Uploaders) have permission to upload torrents.
Can I upload your torrents to other trackers?
No. We are a closed, limited-membership community. Only registered users can use the Torrent-Damage tracker.
Posting our torrents on other trackers is useless, since most people who attempt to download them will
be unable to connect with us. This generates a lot of frustration and bad-will against us at Torrent-Damage,
and will therefore not be tolerated.
Complaints from other sites' administrative staff about our torrents being posted on their sites will
result in the banning of the users responsible.
(However, with the exception of TD Internals (marked as .iNT-TD), the files you download from us are yours to do as you please. You can always create another
torrent, pointing to some other tracker, and upload it to the site of your choice.)
What criteria must I meet before I can join the Uploader team?
You must be able to provide releases that:
• include the original NFO,
• are genuine scene releases.
• have all files in original format (usually 14.3 MB or 47.6 MB RARs),
• you'll be able to seed, or make sure are well-seeded, for at least 24 hours.
You should have at least 2MBit/s upload bandwidth and have a ratio greater than 1.05.
How do I apply to be an uploader?
If you think you can match the above criteria do not hesitate to contact one of the administrators, providing information pertaining to the following:
What kind of connection do you have, i.e. ADSL, ADSL2, SDSL, Cable, Ethernet, Fast Ethernet, Gigabit Ethernet or other
What is your up & down speed In megabits or kilobits per second
Will you be using a "seed box" or similar, or will you be uploading from home
What are you using as a source i.e. Topsite, personal archive, home made, other torrent sites, usenet, etc.
What do you plan to upload primarily i.e. XviD, MP3, DVDR, PC-ISO, etc.
Remember! Write your application carefully! Only well written letters with serious intent will be considered. Users who have a poor ratio (i.e. below 1.05) should not apply.

Downloading - Top
How do I use the files I've downloaded?
Check out this guide.
Downloaded a movie and don't know what CAM/TS/TC/SCR means?
Check out this guide.
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 site
rules.
(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 when there is no activity on them for more than 30 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 is
automatically 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' or
similar. It should be turned on, since it makes sure that if a peer repeatedly sends you pieces that
fail 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, therefore
the total downloaded may be larger than the torrent size. Make sure the "kick/ban" option is turned on
to minimize the extra downloads.
Why do I get a "rejected by tracker - Maximum torrents reached error?
Torrent Damage restricts the amount an individual can download at a time based on their user class. Please note that a torrent you are "part seeding" is still considered as leeching because you do not have the torrent 100% complete.
| User Class |

Why do I get a ratio warning? And will I be banned?
Torrent Damage has a ban policy for members with a low ratio. Once you have received a ratio warning, you will have a period of 7 days to improve your ratio. After that your ratio must meet the following requirements, else a ban will follow.
(Note: The issue of the warning and the ban are automatic.)
| Downloaded |
more than 1.0GB |
|
your ratio must be higher than |
0.05 |
| Downloaded |
more than 2.5GB |
|
your ratio must be higher than |
0.075 |
| Downloaded |
more than 5.0GB |
|
your ratio must be higher than |
0.10 |
| Downloaded |
more than 10.0GB |
|
your ratio must be higher than |
0.20 |
| Downloaded |
more than 15.0GB |
|
your ratio must be higher than |
0.30 |
| Downloaded |
more than 20.0GB |
|
your ratio must be higher than |
0.40 |
| Downloaded |
more than 25.0GB |
|
your ratio must be higher than |
0.50 |
My ratio is OK, but why do I still have a warning?
Ratio warnings are set and unset by the system auomatically. Your ratio warning will last the whole 7 days, even if you improve your ratio enough in the first day. Ensure that you keep your ratio over the required amount for the amount you have downloaded, because at the end of the ratio warning you will be re-evaluated on your current download amount, and not the original downloaded amount when your ratio warning was issued.
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.
Torrent Damage 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 necessarily 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 use
any 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 size
of the range you choose should take this into account (typically less than 10 ports wide. There
is 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 it
should increase your speed with torrents from any tracker, not just ours). Your client
will 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 harder
it 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 your
firewall, should you have them. See the
Why does it say that I am not connectable? "---" section
and links therein for more information on this.
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 downloaded
torrent files. The most common cause is two instances of the client to be running
simultaneously:
the last time the client was closed it somehow didn't really close but kept running in the
background, and is therefore still
locking 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 corruption
that makes the partially downloaded files unreadable, and the error ensues. Running
scandisk should solve the problem. (Note that this may happen only if you're running
Windows 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.)

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 is
mainly 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 the
half-life of a torrent, when the SLR will be at its highest. (The downside is that you will not be able to seed
so much. It's up to you to balance the pros and cons of this.)
Make yourself connectable
See the Why does it say that I am not connectable? section.
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 the
ACKs to get through without delay. A good thumb rule is keeping the upload at about 80% of the theoretical
upload speed. You will have to fine tune yours to find out what works best for you. (Remember that keeping the
upload 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. BitTornado) 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 become
slow or crash when having to deal with too many connections. There are no fixed values for this, you may try 60 or 100
and experiment with the value. Note that these numbers are additive, if you have two instances of
a 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/or
downloading from. Uploads limit the number of peers your client is actually uploading to. The ideal number is
typically 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 have
nothing 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 soon
as 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 your
download bandwidth, and your browsing will suffer. To stop this from happening, you can limit the download speed in your client.
Or you can 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 proxy
forwards 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 running
received from you. The relevant ones are HTTP_CLIENT_IP, HTTP_X_FORWARDED_FOR and REMOTE_ADDR.
Why is my port listed as not connectable; even though I'm not NAT/Firewalled?
The Torrent Damage tracker is quite smart at finding your real IP, but it does need the proxy to send the HTTP header
HTTP_X_FORWARDED_FOR. If your ISP's proxy does not then what happens is that the tracker will interpret the proxy's IP
address as the client's IP address. So when you login and the tracker tries to connect to your client to see if you are
NAT/firewalled it will actually try to connect to the proxy on the port your client reports to be using for
incoming connections. Naturally the proxy will not be listening on that port, the connection will fail and the
tracker 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 something
like 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 Torrent-Damage. 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 when
you 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 for
all HTTP traffic (thank Microsoft and their "IE as part of the OS policy" ). On the other hand if you use another
browser (Opera/Mozilla/Firefox) and configure a proxy there you'll be configuring a proxy just for that browser. We don't
know of any BT client that allows a proxy to be specified explicitly.
Am I allowed to use a proxy to access Torrent-Damage?
No. Proxies and anonymizing services of any type are not to be used here. Any account found accessing the site through such a service runs the risk of being disabled.

Why can't I connect? Is the site blocking me? - Top
Maybe my address is blacklisted?
The site blocks addresses listed in the (former) PeerGuardian
database, as well as addresses of banned users. This works at Apache/PHP level, it's just a script that
blocks logins from those addresses. It should not stop you from reaching the site. In particular
it does not block lower level protocols, you should be able to ping/traceroute the server even if your
address 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 our
policy 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 instructions
in 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 to
check that you're capable of accepting incoming connections.

| Power User |
|
2 Tickets Upon Promotion |
| Xtreme Power User |
|
2 Tickets Added Upon Promotion |
| Xtreme Force User |
|
2 Tickets Added Upon Promotion |
| Xtreme Damage User |
|
2 Tickets Added Upon Promotion |
| Xtreme Damage Lover |
|
2 Tickets Added Upon Promotion |
| Xtreme Damage Addict! |
|
2 Tickets Added Upon Promotion |
| VIP |
|
25 Tickets Maximum |
People that have donated and have at least Power User status, can request invites up to a maximum of 10 invites.
But be careful if your ratio drops below 0.95 you will lose your title, and you will lose ALL invites.
How do I invite my friend?
You can go to your Invite Page and click New Ticket.
When a ticket is created you type in your friends email address in the field next to the ticket number, and send it.
He will receive an email with the ticket number, and a link to the site.
When do I get more invites?
At each promotion (eg. from User to Power User) you will recieve 2 additional tickets.
If you did not get all the invites, you can *not* ask for more, unless you spent all your invites. In that case you will get 2 more invites and you can repeat this procedure as long as you invite 'good' users. Inviting bad ratio users will make you loose your invites.
I have used all my invites but I want to invite my friend?
If you cant wait until you get your new rank/title, you could send
your friend to our IRC channel and join the official invite channel #TD-invite.
There might be a friendly soul that will invite him to the site.

What if I can't find the answer to my problem here? - Top
You can try these:
Post in the Forums, by all means. You'll find they
are usually a friendly and helpful place,
provided you follow a few basic guidelines:
- Make sure your problem is not really in this FAQ. There's no point in posting just to be sent
back here.
- Before posting read the sticky topics (the ones at the top). Many times new information that
still hasn't been incorporated in the FAQ can be found there.
- Help us in helping you. Do not just say "it doesn't work!". Provide details so that we don't
have to guess or waste time asking. What client do you use? What's your OS? What's your network setup? What's the exact
error message you get, if any? What are the torrents you are having problems with? The more
you tell the easiest it will be for us, and the more probable your post will get a reply.
- And needless to say: be polite. Demanding help rarely works, asking for it usually does
the trick.
