Juster Posted December 30, 2006 Report Share Posted December 30, 2006 Hi, I really need help with utorrent. I can seed but I can't download and I have a red icon in the status bar. The only way it downloads is if I restart and get about 1 kb download rate for about a minute. I have been trying to fix it for 2 to almost 3 days without luck. I have tried port forwarding and everything else I could find. I even messed up Firefox and can't get it to work now. It's been running fine before but I don't know what happend, please help. ThanksModem: Motorolla SURFboard SB5120ISP: Time Warner - Road Runner (Transitioned from Comcast)Router: DI-614+ I have no firewall on that I know of, I even disabled Windows Firewall.Internet works fine and I can seed but no download I have to torrents stuck at around 90% and 1 has 14415 seeds, 3124 peers and the other has 3962 seeds 1760 peers.

Juster Posted December 31, 2006 Author Report Share Posted December 31, 2006 Ok I connected my pc directly to the modem so that means its the router. So can someone help me fix it. Or I will have to find my Linksys router and this one is going to be fed to my pellet gun. But now im gonna need a new wireless router, just got to convince my dad to by a new one hehe.Edit: Had to go back to router because of the phone (Vonage). But when I had the computer connected directly it was downloading at .1 - .9 kB's and that sucked. And it say's port not open PLZ HELP!!!!!!

Juster Posted December 31, 2006 Author Report Share Posted December 31, 2006 Finally got the answer. It was'nt my computer or router etc. The torrent was a fake and quite a bit have been popping up. Sorry if I wasted anyones time, this was the first time I encountered a fake torrent. This is a post I found on another site(dont think I can post the link):--------------------------------------------------------------------------------Lots of fake torrents, usually most wanted titles. You can recognize them by: - huge number of seeds and less peers - tracker is usually http://midnightbits.xxuz.com:2710/announce - Uploader comments: [ Find more at http://www.torrentportal.com ] All torrents stop downloading at 98.5% or similar. --------------------------------------------------------------------------------Another fake tracker goes by the name of phogo, these tracker show large number of seeds that dont connect. I learned that the hard way and spent about 3 day of useless work and even bought a new router. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
