    My torrent client (Tixati) reports "Connection timed out" for URL:
    http://bttracker.debian.org:6969/announce
    
    Here is magnet link for one of the torrents, but I don't think it
    matters:
magnet:?xt=urn:btih:fdcvdfxvo5j4icwow35vqyl6ngk2p3o3&dn=debian-11.2.0-amd64-netinst.iso&tr=http%3A%2F%2Fbttracker.debian.org%3A6969%2Fannounce
    
    This is odd, because many other torrent trackers and hundreds of
    torrents work just fine.
    I don't know how to check if it is working. A plain simple 'wget'
    request gives:
        $ wget -O- http://bttracker.debian.org:6969/announce
        --2021-12-21 23:32:43-- 
    http://bttracker.debian.org:6969/announce
        Resolving bttracker.debian.org (bttracker.debian.org)...

        Retrying.
    
    And if I send same request to another tracker I get.. well at least
    something:
        $ wget -O- http://tracker.humblebundle.com:2710/announce
        --2021-12-21 23:39:44--

    Could it be that Debian torrent tracker blocks out requests from Tor
    network?
