Directioner_forever2224 Posted July 11, 2016 Author Report Share Posted July 11, 2016 Yes, i am able to download those properly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DreadWingKnight Posted July 12, 2016 Report Share Posted July 12, 2016 Then the problem is either that something in your setup is blocking magnets (You need DHT enabled for it) or the magnets were generated from torrents that originally had the private flag on them.

Directioner_forever2224 Posted July 12, 2016 Author Report Share Posted July 12, 2016 Is it possible that my router is preventing me from downloading?? How do i disable DHT?? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DreadWingKnight Posted July 13, 2016 Report Share Posted July 13, 2016 You don't want to disable DHT. Disabling DHT breaks magnets. It is possible that settings in your router are blocking. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Directioner_forever2224 Posted July 14, 2016 Author Report Share Posted July 14, 2016 So how do i make sure that DHT is enabled?? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DreadWingKnight Posted July 14, 2016 Report Share Posted July 14, 2016 In uTorrent's preferences. And you need to make sure to unblock it in any firewall you have. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Directioner_forever2224 Posted July 14, 2016 Author Report Share Posted July 14, 2016 I will try to see if my router is the issue and if it is still not working i will get back to you Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Directioner_forever2224 Posted July 20, 2016 Author Report Share Posted July 20, 2016 Hi, I looked into unblocking my router and realised that the router isn't the problem as it isn't blocking anything, so i still can't download, but at least i know it isn't the router. Thanks for all your help:) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
