Since the nice folks over at Genunix the makers of Belenix (an OpenSolaris distribution) have decided to use us to distribute their torrents, and their trackers were failing under the load, I've decided to upload their torrent to torrentbox with us listed as an additional tracker, hopefully this will help out the folks at tuxdistro.

A personal note to folks who think that isoHunt and the bittorrent protocol don't have significant non-infringing uses: pull your heads out, the above project is exactly the type of thing that we're here for.

I'm sure that's working out great for everyone in the US who was interested in trying it and is now banned.

That is unfortunate isn't it. But Belenix's torrents are tracked by more trackers than just Torrentbox's, as is many torrents, so it doesn't matter. It's more moot when combined with DHT (so you don't need _any_ tracker).
