Is this site got PwneD?!

Known Faults

• Donation Page and features, not complete or active. This isn't much a problem as we are non-profit and haven't yet run up any large bills.
• After posting a private message, it may reset what's 'new' or old status on torrents.
• Manual-scrape may timeout with torrent with problematic trackers. A database error is returned, no error handling.
• Fix Smile referencing and to which text entries should or shouldn't have smilies. Add Beer smilely for Isaak!
• Snatched list of who has downloaded a torrent is not complete. List is usually a fraction of those that downloaded the file and completed the torrent contents. This feature maybe removed for anonymity reasons.
• RSS feeds broken or aren't displaying a proper list of searched torrents.
• Shoutbox message font sizing does not work.
• Search breaks on single-quote character.

In The Works

• Make tutorial on how to share content best.
• 'Media Package Distribution feature'. Members able to upload packages for easy duplication and printing of covers to mail drop, or other distribution receipt.
• Remove upload/download ratio-system. ConspiracyHub does not use ratio limits or restrict members from joining. We are not building a club, we are building knowledge and action in the community.
• Renovate the User Profile and User Editing, sections.

Searching For Torrents

Conspiracy Hub allows quoted search ability, much like Google. In a search you can either type each keyword to be discovered, or place each in a quoted-string. A quoted-string will exactly match a sentence or a word using what's contained within the quotes.

Placing a negative/hyphen character in front of a keyword or quoted string will invalidate the record if it contains that item. A hash character at the front of a search word or string, will discover records from the tags-database. You can negate tags by putting the hyphen character ('-') at the front of the tag-word.

A combination of criteria works. For example the below scenario will find all records with 'illuminati' in their keybase, or a tag with "jones", but drop all records with "alex" in their keybase.

How Do I Logout

In the Menu menu, the option to logout is located there. Click here to Logout, otherwise.

I hear I must only upload torrents of compromised state?

The Conspiracy Hub wants to promote the purchase of sold productions, so we enforce the rule that content must be of less quality or missing parts, compared to a complete version. We also require that links to where one purchases an item, be included. Public domain content can be freely referenced. In regards to this stipulation, it is out of The Conspiracy Hub's ability to investigate all references without sponsoring to scrutinise.

Including Tracker Announce Urls

We encourage torrent shared all over the internet. Our message is to get out, not become exclusive so we recommend that you use an international announce-url for torrents you want to share else where. Our tracker should be included as a backup only, not the main tracker.

How Do I Get These Torrent Shared Things?

The Conspiracy Hub only shares references to full files. A reference literally means in this case a small file used to obtain a bigger remote file, shared by people around the World. A 'Torrent' is the popular name given to these small reference 'kickstart' files. A utility program called a bittorent-client is required to process the kickstarts.

To get yourself a torrent client, we suggest you try uTorrent from http://www.utorrent.com/. uTorrent works both on Windows as a de-facto, and Apple+Linux, under Wine Windows api-emulation.

An alternative recommended client is Azureus, also known as Vuse. Obtained here,http://www.azureus.com/. Vuze is based on Java so it should work on many platforms. It does take more advance options to be set to gain proper control over the client. Azureus has one of the best torrent creation features, allowing you to add DHT-mode which shares content without looking at a specific website to gain new links, and then there is Shareaza Magnet keys feature which takes the share level to other protocols called Gnutella2 and eDonkey networks.

Sharing Your Own Torrent

Torrent clients usually have a utility to make torrents. Simply direct the tool to make the torrent of the appropriate files, checking you don't include files that are system related, like hidden files, or those you don't want included. Placing multiple files into a file-folder is the way to go, especially if they are from a kit or of similar subject or author. Then create the torrent on that folder. Pick a single file if you want just that

Name your files clearly, avoiding special characters!

To share your torrent only for Conspiracy Hub downloaders, you need to add our announce address, which is "http://conspiracyhub.com/announce.php".

Add other tracker-announce addresses if you wish to share at other sites, example, adding "http://tracker.publicbt.com:80/announce" will allow you to share your torrent at most torrent list sites. You can have multiple announce addresses which is known as backups. Conspiracy Hub's should be a backup, not the main announce-url, when using multiple addresses.

If your are using uTorrent then read this! Each tracker in your tracker-list for the torrent you create, must contain a blank line between each tracker in that list! If you do not do this then only the top tracker will be used by most torrent-clients.

How Do I Remove A Torrent Reference File?

If you are the owner then you should see a icon near the download icon, '', that will process a deletion when pressed. Then you should be able to upload a replacement file if that was your intention. You may like to copy your original contents first before deleting, by editing, copying, then deleting the torrent.
In the torrent profile, press '' to delete.

Good Sharing Practices

• Don't include web links as some trackers refuse to accept torrents which contain them, leaving you to recreate the whole metafile/kickstart
• Name your file smartly, removing special characters, and format without spaces to save name length
• Include other tracker announce url's, making sure they are active
• Use Conspiracy Hub's announce as a backup where possible, unless you want to only share here

My Torrnet Reports Zero Peers

Either your torrent is faulty or no people are sharing the contents related to the torrent. Noting, our tracker updates statistics every hour, timed from the last update for external torrents, and every (10) minutes for local torrents. You can manually update statistics, but the torrent must be of an external type, or if you have special privileges like being the owner of the torrent. Manual updated torrents maybe skip the next automatic update process since they are considered current!
In the torrent profile, press '' to update manually.

ThePirateBay.org tracker, one of the biggest in the World at the time of writing this, has blocked the scrape process that obtains peer counts. This has caused major issues with torrent failing which results in server time-outs. Due to this we have coded our website scripts to get around this issue but some torrents only contain all broken trackers, so these torrent metafiles/kickstarts will not be compatible with our server, and will fail a manual-scrape. Torrents that include our site's tracker will be put into backup mode if they have no external peer sources working. This means they will be specially managed locally if all external references are broken.
