Over the past few days I have noticed that some trackers are starting to finally ban misbehaving applications. The most annoying of these are not reporting seeding properly, which screws up anyone that runs a tracker that relies on share ratios.
As of today I am seeing both Xtorrent and BitRocket in the ban list, and both are current. Older versions of Transmission are also banned, but 1.04 is running fine. I also noticed a funny thing, the ban error for Xtorrent says that it is an older version of Transmission, so either it is a bad filter, a stupid cut and paste error on their part, or Xtorrent is using both MIT and GPL licensing, so I am sure this is either a coincidence or just an error of omission.
