jamike77 Posted January 26, 2015 Report Share Posted January 26, 2015 Hi all - About a week ago uTorrent suddenly stopped connecting to DHT. I even tried different torrent clients, tried installing on another computer, tried using a different wireless router, but the issue persists. I called my provider (TalkTalk UK) and was reassured that they don't throttle or block any torrent traffic. I tried disabling Windows Firewall altogether but this didn't fix it either. What else can I be missing? What I think had caused the issue is that I had been using BitTorrent Sync app in order to sync data between my laptop and my tablet. This could have a couple hundred gigabytes of traffic. I thought this was the reason why they blocked me but they were persistent in that it has nothing to do with my internet provider. Any ideas? Thank you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jamike77 Posted January 28, 2015 Author Report Share Posted January 28, 2015 Thank you for the suggestion. As mentioned I even tried another computer altogether but face the same issue. Also with a different wifi router. Although my provider keeps telling me they have nothing to do with it so not sure what else to try?! This is so frustrating...

DreadWingKnight Posted January 29, 2015 Report Share Posted January 29, 2015 Another computer on the same internet connection indicates a problem with the internet connection. Another computer on a different internet connection with the same provider indicates a problem with the provider. Are you using proxy settings?

jamike77 Posted January 29, 2015 Author Report Share Posted January 29, 2015 DreadWingKnight: you are absolutely correct, that is what does not make sense to me since my provider is saying they have not blocked it. It has also been confirmed online in a couple of articles that TalkTalk UK do no block or throttle traffic due to torrents. I don't use proxy settings, never have, it simply stopped working one day without me changing any settings. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DreadWingKnight Posted January 29, 2015 Report Share Posted January 29, 2015 Then something changed. ISP frontline techs have been known to either lie or be given false information. You tried your computer at another house with a different internet provider yet? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
