As we've grown past 3 million peers, it's gotten harder and harder for the tracker to keep up with the increased load. Recently, this manifested itself in a high percentage of tracker timeouts, which annoyed us as much as they annoyed you!
After a fair amount of hard work by WhatMan and lenrek, we've resolved the tracker issues - the load is now balanced across two trackers. There will still be problems every now and then, which are inherent in handling 3 million peers on a tight budget - however, the tracker is, for the most part, quite usable now. We thank you very much for the patience you displayed while we worked on resolving this matter.
On a different note, our new developer porkpie has implemented his first major feature - thread subscriptions! You can subscribe to a thread by clicking the [Subscribe] link on the top.
Thank you for your efforts, porkpie
