Details

Description:
The torrents on the Arch download page are using an old tracker / announce URL. LinuxTracker.org changed their site and have dropped all old torrents not using the new tracker URL and the old tracker URL is not responding. New Arch torrent files with the new tracker have already been created and uploaded to LinuxTracker.org. The Arch site should use the new torrents or change the tracker to the new URL. Torrents saved from LT for the Arch web site should be retrieved as a guest user since LT adds a userid to each downloaded torrent.

Steps to reproduce:
Get a torrent file from http://www.archlinux.org/download/ and view the tracker. The old URL is:
http://linuxtracker.org/announce.php.

Reason for closing:  Fixed
Additional comments about closing:  Closing again.
Should be fixed once the files are replicated out. If it doesn't work in say.... 4 hours time, then reopen ticket.

The torrent files from the Get Arch page are still using the wrong tracker URL causing timeouts. They should be using:
http://linuxtracker.org:2710/00000000000000000000000000000000/announce

Ahh. The files were not named properly.
They are changed on the mirror master now. It will take an hour or two for them to get replicated out to the ftp.archlinux.org site.

They should work by the morning.
