RosieAgain Posted October 13, 2016 Report Posted October 13, 2016 Hello all -- I've read the last 10 or so threads with this topic, but their solutions were not my solution. So I'd be grateful for your help! Problem: Not always, but most of the time, I cannot connect to any peers. Things I have tried: Upgrading to v. 3.4.9. This made the problem worse. Rebooting utorrent and computer. Once in blue moon this works. Resetting wifi adapter in windows. Connecting via ethernet. Running a speed check on my wifi. It is fast. Using torrents I know have lots of seeders. Using a different wifi connection. Shutting off my antivirus (Avast). One time this worked for a few seconds, but it did not work when I tried several more times, so I guess it was a coincidence. I'm out of ideas. My websurfing works fine. I saw in other threads youse guys asked for a screenshot of trackers so here is one. NB: My interface does not show me your sig files and I cannot find a place to change that. So if you need me to download a file, I can't do it from your sig. Thanks :).

Transfer cap settings are good, as are everything else I can understand in the settings. I also forgot to mention that I uninstalled and reinstalled the current version. Another behaviour I forgot to mention: Sometimes d/ls work but rate is absurdly slow -- kb, not mb. This morning, one file will d/l but others from the same site will not. Here are screenshots of the one that will and one that won't. Any ideas?
RosieAgain Posted October 13, 2016 Author Report Posted October 13, 2016 Update: I tried a different torrent d/l program on the same torrents, and it works fine. So utorrent is def the problem.
DreadWingKnight Posted October 13, 2016 Report Posted October 13, 2016 You didn't fix your transfer cap settings. ALL of your screenshots show "Stopped by transfer cap"

Well, sort of.. I had set the transfer cap for uploads only... and that worked before. But now, when it reaches the upload cap utorrent halts downloads, too. It's a bug. But, thanks to DWK pointing out the sit, I have a workaround -- just shut off the upload cap.

Please clarify. I saw the choices: uploads, downloads, or uploads AND downloads. It seemed clear that if I didn't choose the 'and' I should not get the 'and'
DreadWingKnight Posted October 14, 2016 Report Posted October 14, 2016 It stops ALL transfers based on the specific type of cap you specify.
