You'll notice that we're not providing torrents anymore...there's kind of a long story to this. The quick and dirty of it is that we're moving to OSL and they've asked us to not run a tracker from it. Since they're willing to provide the extra bandwidth and everything else, we really don't need to provide torrents anymore, and it's more work to do so anyway...so yeah :P
I never got why you did that I would download it and seed it but I would never get any peers so I assumed nobody used it.

The torrent pointed to the download location anyway, so likely people would have the file downloaded by the time other seeds had a chance to appear. So, probably true, not much need for torrents even then unless server had a speed limit on the torrent download thereby allowing possibly a little peer sharing. Oh well, all in the past I guess.
I also noticed the torrents used to be not properly registered to the site, just shortly after the release anyway.

It doesn't stop somebody from making a torrent on a free tracker though...

What about the existing torrents for the files, will those eventually go too?

Why was extra stats removed? I quite liked that plugin...

Edit: urgh, should've searched first :oops:
i've actually removed the plugin from svn since it's too broken
Pity though, I wasn't having any problems with it.

people used it. we had over 8k completed downloads from our tracker during the short time that we had them. thankfully deluge has plenty of users, which limited the affect that it had on each user.
