ak471992 Posted January 6, 2007 Report Share Posted January 6, 2007 I have a weird problem. basically when i add a torrent to start downloading it doesnt show any peers or seeds in the brackets even though it says there are many seeds and peers downloading as it says so on torrentspy.com. therefore it doesnt start downloading and i dont know what to do.Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ultima Posted January 6, 2007 Report Share Posted January 6, 2007 If there is nothing wrong with the tracker status, then the tracker index was showing outdated information. If there is something wrong with the tracker status, then... well, that's your answer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ak471992 Posted January 6, 2007 Author Report Share Posted January 6, 2007 i also have a problem with the trackers on everything that i download it says that it is either an invalid url or proxy connect error: no connection could be made because the target machine actively refused it. so are both problems linked.thanks for the reply Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ultima Posted January 6, 2007 Report Share Posted January 6, 2007 Perhaps BT is placing you behind a transparent proxy... When you use the port checker, does it redirect you to the checker with :16000 in the URL? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ak471992 Posted January 6, 2007 Author Report Share Posted January 6, 2007 oh right i thought so it just says port is open and the url is ( is url meant by whats in the adress bar if it is this is what it said) http://www.utorrent.com/testport.php?port=64306 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ak471992 Posted January 6, 2007 Author Report Share Posted January 6, 2007 is that what u meant Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ultima Posted January 7, 2007 Report Share Posted January 7, 2007 Yes, that'd be the correct URL... but STOP multi-posting and bumping your threads -- the rest of us actually have things to do, so aren't here 24/7 to answer all your questions. Just be patient.Anyway, did you set a proxy up in Preferences > Connection? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ak471992 Posted January 7, 2007 Author Report Share Posted January 7, 2007 sorry.if you mean "use proxy server for peer to peer connections" i have now checked that box but it doesnt seem to have made a difference the tracker status is still the the same.Oh wait i just saw the proxy box an i have nothing written in it. is there something i should type in.Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ultima Posted January 7, 2007 Report Share Posted January 7, 2007 Nah, don't bother using the proxy -- I was checking to make sure you weren't actually using a proxy. The thing that has me asking is this: "proxy connect error: no connection could be made because the target machine actively refused it"To be honest, I'm running fairly low on ideas at the moment ;\ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ak471992 Posted January 7, 2007 Author Report Share Posted January 7, 2007 is there anything at all it could be.sometimes the tracker status switches and it says invalid url. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ultima Posted January 10, 2007 Report Share Posted January 10, 2007 The point is that you get no peers at all if you can't connect to a tracker. My answer was to say there is no inherent difference between using one tracker over another (not one tracker over none, in which case -- as I have mentioned -- you won't get anything).

ak471992 Posted January 10, 2007 Author Report Share Posted January 10, 2007 but the weird thing is that i do connect to peers and my speeds are ok thyre not fantastic but i'll live they do get up to about 120kB/s Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lord Alderaan Posted January 11, 2007 Report Share Posted January 11, 2007 I've been able to get peers through DHT even if the tracker is completely down. So it's not completely true that you can't get peers if the tracker is down.120kb/s is a nice speed especially if you only got peers through DHT.

ak471992 Posted January 11, 2007 Author Report Share Posted January 11, 2007 thanks . the speeds have now actually been up to 180kb/s but the even weirder thing is that even if i turn dht of it carries on downloading at a steady speed.?????

Ultima Posted January 11, 2007 Report Share Posted January 11, 2007 @Lord Alderaan: DHT is still a distributed tracker -- do notice I mentioned "a tracker" in general, not a specific type of tracker ;\ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
