b"Earlier today (sometime over night?) the server began having problems. An issue with one of the drives in our array caused the system to mount in RO mode (read only) which prevented data from being written to the drive. \r\n\r\nWe contacted our host this morning and they were able to diagnose and replace the bad dri…

b"Well, the kids are back to school here in Atlanta and the year is more than half over. We've had a good summer here in the Linuxtracker world with the addition of several new distributions to the download list. If you haven't had the chance to check them out, please do.\r\n\r\nPlease remember that cracks/warez and o…

b"First off we want to wish everyone a good summer (or winter for our friends in the southern hemisphere) and we hope everyone is enjoying their vacations.\r\n\r\nSecondly, we sent out an email a while ago about pruning the database. We want to remind everyone that ALL you have to do to prevent your account from being…

b"If you haven't noticed, we've made some changes this week to the location of some of the things on the site as well as the way some of the things function.\r\n\r\nFirst, we're pleased to announce that the RSS Feed is finally working properly for things such as rtorrent or utorrent and downloads are now properly atta…

b"What?? Thats right, we've added the ability to post your comments directly to google+ from the torrent details pages. So now, if you comment on a torrent here it posts to your G+ Profile making you look like the knowledgeable guru that you are. In addition, if a torrent is posted to G+ (by clicking the +1 link) it s…

b"We wanted to update the Linuxtracker community on what has happened over the past couple of days.\r\n\r\nIt began on Monday when we were attempting a dist-upgrade on our server. Things were going fine until we needed to reboot. The server would not come back on line. After contacting our host, it was determined that…

b'We had some interest in whether or not LT would/could accept bitcoins. We have an address: 162F9w8ixesFjkoHeafNZf6dGGSbsSznV1 you can use to send us coins if you would like to donate to the site that way. \r\n\r\nWe are currently in the process of exploring how to add the ability to donate via BTCoin via the site (l…

b"I hate to break it to everyone, but wait times are coming to LT....\r\n\r\nThe linuxtracker.org server costs around $80 a month to maintain. Some months we're able to cover that from the ads (mostly google ads alone) and some months (like January) we're not. That puts us in a bind when it comes to hosting (the host …

b"So here we go on to March. Linuxtracker's anniversary passed quietly in February (February 5th) and we are going on 9 years worth of tracking Linux torrents. We have no plans to stop any time soon.\r\n\r\nOn another note, the ads that help pay for the servers were taken offline earlier on February when the service t…

b"Two months in and we're heading ahead at full steam... Just wanted to check in and let you know that we are working behind the scenes to make sure that the site stays available to everyone.\r\n\r\nWe're also working to make improvements to the site and server that should benefit everyone.\r\n\r\nThanks for tracking!…
