Q. How should I name the files before I upload them to the tracker? Is there a standard, or preferred method?
A. Please name your files as follows:
Tracks: tthYYYY-MM-DD.source.file type (For example, "tth2004-09-18.heb.flac16" represents the Tragically Hip show from September 18, 2004 recorded with High End Binaurals and compressed as FLAC1 files.)

Q. If I am in the middle of downloading shows on the tracker, and my internet connection closes, for whatever reason, when I reconnect with my Bit Torrent software, I get a tracker error:
Error: Tracker Response Error:Unrecognized host (69.63.61.91). Please go to <!-- m --><a class="postlink" href="http://www.thehiptracker.com">http://www.thehiptracker.com</a><!-- m --> to sign-up or login.
What does this mean, and how can I fix it?
A. Everytime your connection closes and you reconnect, you are assigned a new IP (that's the number that you posted: 69.63.61.91). That number, in conjunction with a cookie, is how the tracker remembers who you are. All you need to do is log in to the tracker website using your internet browser (IE, FireFox, Safari, etc) after your connection is reopened, and it will see that you have a new IP, and everything will resume as normal.
