Spoofing

Open ghost opened this issue 3 years ago • 3 comments

Is there any attempt to verify the accuracy of reported stats from the trackers before adding them to the list of stable trackers?

I use the main list frequently but I have to remove http://bt.okmp3.ru from my list every time, and it always come from NTO.

This tracker reports a seed for every torrent it gets, and it took me some time to "track" it down... but yeah it's a shady tracker.

Others have come up in the past but this one seems persistent.

Do you at least maintain a blacklist? Surely you must.

I'm just letting you know my experience.

Cheers.

Similar to #119 Lists reasons for not considering a blacklist.

That's fine, but I actually stopped using NTO due to this issue.  Cheers!

I think other users can maintain a blacklist list and make it public, the user can choose to use it.

You can make a program, this program can use multiple sources (list/whitelist/blacklist) to generate a list. This is a good idea.

And this project can consider whether to include these third-party blacklists list by default.

But seriously, Tracker is not something that changes frequently, there is no need to re-pull or replace it often.
