Dmc Posted April 27, 2015 Report Share Posted April 27, 2015 Why are my torrents sitting at connecting to peers and not downloading some times for days? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DreadWingKnight Posted April 27, 2015 Report Share Posted April 27, 2015 There's a shopping list of reasons ranging from "Your internet security software is blocking uTorrent" to "The torrents you're choosing are outright dead". We need more information from you including, but not limited to what internet security software you have installed, what internet provider you're using, and a screenshot showing the trackers tab with one of the problem torrents selected.

Dmc Posted April 28, 2015 Author Report Share Posted April 28, 2015 Hisorry I should have been more specific, my internet security is Norton, my internet provider is Telstra, this has been happening on and off for the last couple of months it will work one day and then not the next. I haven't changed any settings.How do I attach screenshots? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
affu933 Posted April 28, 2015 Report Share Posted April 28, 2015 I searched here and I couldn't find an adequate solution. I've been torrenting for 10 years and I've never had this problem before. I have around 50 torrents on queue, with a download maximum set at 5. Right now almost all of them say they're "connecting to peers" but there is clearly no progress. Maybe 1 or 2 of them will work at a time, usually with less than 1kb/s. This has been going on for several days and I can't figure out how to fix it.Normally my connection works fine. We did just get a new router. It seemed to make my torrents much faster for the first week, but now they're completely dead. I don't know if that might have something to do with it.

Dmc Posted April 28, 2015 Author Report Share Posted April 28, 2015 Yes Affu933 that sounds exactly like my problem, Then they just start and everything works fine until it doesn't again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DreadWingKnight Posted April 28, 2015 Report Share Posted April 28, 2015 Uninstall norton. And to attach screenshots you need to upload them to image hosting sites and link them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
