Thread: IPTorrents soon to ban all Vuze/Azureus versions

I just stumbled upon this at iptorrents home section:

Banned Torrent Clients

Dear Members,

Following the recent upgrade to our new source code, the following torrent clients are now banned.


ABC
All BitComet up to v5.x
Bitbuddy
BitLord 1.1
BitSpirit 3.3.2.100
BitTorrent++
Limewire (all versions)
Nova Torrent
Older Azureus versions
Rufus
Shareaza
TorrentStorm
Transmission Below V 1.34
utorrent1.7.1
utorrent 1.7.5 (fake version)

The following torrent clients are permitted
µTorrent 1.8.2
BitTorrent 6.0
Halite 0.3.1
KDE3 (KTorrent 2.2.4)
Transmission
uTorrent 1.6.1
Deluge 0.5.9.3

Not recommended

We do not Recommend Azureus/Vuze at all and very soon Azureus/Vuze will be banned at IPT ( all versions ) ! ! !

UTorrent 1.7.7 - Several other trackers have banned this client for reporting bad data to the tracker.
please avoid this version - it may lead to problems for you if we have to ban it.

Beta versions may appear on this list as tested, but they are not recommended,
if you use a beta version and your stats are not updated properly then dont complain to us.
Stick with the tried and trusted releases and you should not have any problems.


This message will be updated as and when other torrents clients are added to either of the lists.

We still have the ability to use client spoofing, so I guess it's not a major issue.

Hehe.I don't care about it because i use utorrent+waffles method, but banning a client because you can cheat with it is stupid.I understand banning bitcomet, but Vuze....
Give me a break

LL already banned Vuze due to "excessive scrape requests"

is μtorrent + waffles

Well, uTorrent Multi mods don't work at Waffles. If you mean RM with uTorrent emulation and the Waffles method, then yes

that site?

You mean LL?

I'm not at IPT, but this was the reason LL gave for banning Vuze:

Ok Vuze Ban....and reason as to the ban

1,200 peers using Vuze - - Results of hit's to site in time frame 25,000 announces/scrape calls

10,000 peers using Utorrent - -Resulte of hits to site in same time frame 5000 announce/scrape call

As can be seen Vuze traffic was 5 times higher than that of Utorrent with only a 12% the users of utorrent ??????

I'll supply you with caps, hold on.

Here's a scrape result from LL:

Code:

Sorry for the delay, I was burning some DVDs. I have PMed you LL's reply - they don't respect &compact=1, so peer IPs are sent in a human-readable format.
