Necromaniac Posted February 7, 2016 Report Share Posted February 7, 2016 I have added a local proxy to my uTorrent proxy settings, and it does not seem to be working - it is stuck on "Connecting to Peers." At first I thought it was my proxy, but I have ensured it is fully working, and the port and host is correct, and authentication is ticked off (which is required by my proxy), I have also ensured that my proxy is working via other applications. To further ensure it is not my proxy, I have used multiple other publicly available proxies to ensure they are also not working, and I come up with the same issue. Any ideas?

PiusX Posted February 8, 2016 Report Share Posted February 8, 2016 Proxy setting setup goes beyond utorrent help-this is something you have to setup or configure on you own. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Necromaniac Posted February 8, 2016 Author Report Share Posted February 8, 2016 It was working fine a couple of days ago. The proxy is fully working on my browser, as I said. It is not the proxy. It is a problem with utorrent settings. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Necromaniac Posted February 9, 2016 Author Report Share Posted February 9, 2016 I have discovered that the proxy is actually working but for some reason I can still not connect to peers on any torrent using any proxy - my ip is indeed masked as I have discovered using a "Check My Torrent IP" torrent.

PiusX Posted February 10, 2016 Report Share Posted February 10, 2016 Proxy setting is beyond utorrent discussion. It's obviously not working since your ISP blocked torrent usage. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Necromaniac Posted February 10, 2016 Author Report Share Posted February 10, 2016 What is it that is not being understood. The torrents work fine when the proxy isn't on. The proxy is working fine with other applications. It is not anything but utorrent. My ISP has not disabled P2P/Torrents. Furthermore, the proxy is optimized specifically for peer-to-peer, and was working fine previous to my first post. Further information: My trackers are shown as the following - *udp://open.demonii.com:1337 invalid URL [DHT] waiting for announce... [Local Peer Discovery] working [Peer Exchange] working udp://exodus.desync.com:6969 disabled or connection timed out (with udp support) udp://tracker.coppersurfer.tk:6969 disabled or connection timed out (with udp support) udp://tracker.openbittorrent.com:80 disabled or connection timed out (with udp support) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PiusX Posted February 11, 2016 Report Share Posted February 11, 2016 You already got Invalid URL and disabled or connection timed out that would indicate something is interfering with the connections. ISP has every right to block and throttle torrent traffic and when they do they will throttle it to a crawl but they won't kill it but will make it crawl to the point it looks like it is dead. Proxy works fine for other apps because they are not torrents traffic that is why they work - ISP doesn't block regular traffic but when they detect torrent traffic they will throttle it.

Necromaniac Posted February 11, 2016 Author Report Share Posted February 11, 2016 Let me say this one more time. If ISP was blocking torrent traffic, then torrents wouldn't download because of it. Torrents are downloading fine, except when a proxy is being used. Please read my words instead of assuming the same thing 3 times. Also, proxy is working fine via other applications. Therefore, it is not my ISP, nor is it my proxy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DreadWingKnight Posted February 11, 2016 Report Share Posted February 11, 2016 Proxy providers can still block torrenting. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Necromaniac Posted February 11, 2016 Author Report Share Posted February 11, 2016 Again I go back to the previous statement. My proxy is advertised and optimized for P2P/Torrent usage. I already know it isn't the proxy provider. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

priyanka541 Posted February 11, 2016 Report Share Posted February 11, 2016 Check the following: Use proxy for hostname Lookups Use proxy for peer-to-peer connections And check everything under "Proxy Privacy". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Did you contact them and ask them directly or just posting what they wrote as a disclaimer so that you won't ask them? Proxy problems aren't a utorrent problem. I am starting to suspect the Proxy is the problem and issue here and nothing so far I see is utorrent related. I have Proxy set on mine and I have no problems. So unless your get into contact with the Proxy provider then utorrent can't do nothing more here. So if your going to say Proxies don't work - mine work just fine.
