swagdaddysunnybear Posted April 24, 2015 Report Share Posted April 24, 2015 Hello there, I have a problem with uTorrent (actually every torrent-client so far) about it being stuck on "finding peers", though only on piratebay and kickass.to I've searched everywhere, gone through every forum I could find, but I cannot find the same issue that I have. I'll put a picture or two of what the trackers show. Though the problem only occurs with the previously mentioned sites, though I'm positive that the trackers are not down, as other people I know still use them. The security I have on my computer is the basic Windows Firewall (although uTorrent is allowed, something about peer-to-peer connections were not allowed, though unchecking this had no effect whatsoever), and Windows Defender as the anti-virus. I really hope there is some help to be found here. Thank you in advance! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DreadWingKnight Posted April 24, 2015 Report Share Posted April 24, 2015 Do torrents from http://slackware.com/getslack/torrents.php work or no? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
swagdaddysunnybear Posted April 25, 2015 Author Report Share Posted April 25, 2015 They did work a little while ago, but now it seems they don't work either. I receive the same "[DHT] Waiting for announce..." and the tracker is showing "Offline (timed out)" Of course, I've been messing quite a bit with settings on utorrent, which may be why the torrents didn't work, but they have worked previously Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
swagdaddysunnybear Posted April 25, 2015 Author Report Share Posted April 25, 2015 I just tried resetting the settings, and they do indeed work, with a download at over 2 MB/s However, I still have the "[DHT] Waiting for announce..." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Geekwoman Posted May 12, 2015 Report Share Posted May 12, 2015 I have the same problem. I have tried all things suggested on all forums re resume files and settings and uninstalling and reinstalling and even changing my anti-virus to one recommended to work with utorrent. (Avast) FYI slackware torrents do work, and the speed is great on that one torrent. I can't include a screen shot as illustration of the problem, for some reason it won't paste. I've tried in the dialogue box that pops up and also straight into this post. Basically, they all say 'Connection timed out' Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
