JustWatching Posted April 26, 2018 Report Share Posted April 26, 2018 I usually have utorrent running all the time. When new DL's come in to the RSS downloader they are always get stuck on 'Connecting to peers' . I have to shut down u torrent and wait about 10 minutes then open utorrent and they will connect and start DL just fine. Anything I can do to remedy this?

rafi Posted April 27, 2018 Report Share Posted April 27, 2018 To be clear, the holdup is even when you wait for 10-15 minutes? RSS is working fine here with the latest version on Win10, your versions? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JustWatching Posted April 27, 2018 Author Report Share Posted April 27, 2018 Oh no, when the torrent comes in from the feed, it gets stuck on connecting to peers. I have to close utorrent completely, wait 10 minutes or so and re-open it, at that time, the torrent will go past 'connecting peers' and start the download. This has been happening on previous versions of utorrent as well. I am using windows 7 ultimate 64 bit utorrent version 3.5.3 I woke this morning to see one torrent having come in, its just sitting here on 'connecting to peers' I close utorrent and will open it in 5 or ten minutes and the torrent will continue on past 'connecting to peers' and start the download.

rafi Posted April 27, 2018 Report Share Posted April 27, 2018 Maybe some corrupted settings? Close uTorrent, Back up your settings.dat and try with mine (in my sig, modify per your needs). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JustWatching Posted April 27, 2018 Author Report Share Posted April 27, 2018 Is the an export/import option in order to back up these settings and use yours instead? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rafi Posted April 27, 2018 Report Share Posted April 27, 2018 No, you just replace your settings.dat file with mine. Done. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JustWatching Posted April 27, 2018 Author Report Share Posted April 27, 2018 Ok i will use your settings, and wait for my next RSS torrent to come and let you know. Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JustWatching Posted April 30, 2018 Author Report Share Posted April 30, 2018 That did the trick Rafi, appreciate it. Works like a charm now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rafi Posted April 30, 2018 Report Share Posted April 30, 2018 Great! BTW, I am trying something new these days, that replaces the internal RSS downloader - Medusa / https://cdn.pymedusa.com/ . I did need to modify it a bit to fit my utorrent needs, tho... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JustWatching Posted July 30, 2018 Author Report Share Posted July 30, 2018 Hate to bring this up again, but it is back to getting stuck on Finding peers if I have utorrent running for a while. Still using your settings file. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rafi Posted July 31, 2018 Report Share Posted July 31, 2018 Maybe you have corrupted my file... Try testing with a well known fast torrent - like ubuntu. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JustWatching Posted July 31, 2018 Author Report Share Posted July 31, 2018 Same issue. . when utorrent is on for a long period and a torrent gets added automatically via the rss downloaded it will not get past 'Finding peers' Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rafi Posted July 31, 2018 Report Share Posted July 31, 2018 Trackers list is threre, not empty, and all are accessible & working and peers' list is not 0 for that torrent ? There are tracker-less torrents out there, on some RSS feeds. Best make sure DHT is enabled too, just in case. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JustWatching Posted August 1, 2018 Author Report Share Posted August 1, 2018 Yes there are trackers and peers... DHT is enabled. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rafi Posted August 1, 2018 Report Share Posted August 1, 2018 If you tried and re-copy and re-use my settings (in case it got corrupted/moved/replaced) - possibly ISP related... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
