Harry2000 Posted July 12, 2016 Report Share Posted July 12, 2016 Hi All First time poster here (and fairly new to torrenting) thanks for any help provided! I am currently downloading two Torrents I wouldn't classify as dead but that are not popular ( usually 3-4 seeds on during the course of the day none of which I can connect too). My problem lies with the peers I am connected to. Currently I have around 1% of each Torrent but that's where my download stopped. I am still checking the peer list during the day and am usually connected to between 10 and 30 peers. Of those peers usually half have 70%+ of the file. Now to the problem is most of these peers have the 'D' flag up so going by what I have read I should be downloading from them but am not. Anyone seen this before? I have tried resetting, randomizing ports etc but am still not getting any download from peers flagged 'D'. Any thoughts? Thanks Harry. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DreadWingKnight Posted July 12, 2016 Report Share Posted July 12, 2016 What setup guide did you use to configure uTorrent? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Harry2000 Posted July 12, 2016 Author Report Share Posted July 12, 2016 I tried to look at the setup guide in the sticky of this thread but am getting an 404 error bad link. I am willing to try and have tried what has been put in the sticky Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DreadWingKnight Posted July 12, 2016 Report Share Posted July 12, 2016 Did you try scrolling down through the sticky instead of clicking? The links in the thread are leftover from the old forum software and are merely internal to the thread. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Harry2000 Posted July 12, 2016 Author Report Share Posted July 12, 2016 Thanks for the quick replies I had a look through. I also went through Utorrent setup after install. I am fairly stumped on this one as It seems to be a selective issue some torrents download no problem while others including the ones I am talking about seem to start then stop. And as already said I will have a bunch of peers with more of the file than me (by more I am talking over 70% more) and 'D' flag up but my client doesn't download from them (mind you uploading from my client works!)

PiusX Posted July 19, 2016 Report Share Posted July 19, 2016 Then you got a dead or no peer torrent or worse fake torrent. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
