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

If there is nothing wrong with the tracker status, then the tracker index was showing outdated information.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.

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

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?

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

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 ;\

wait now the peers and seeds come up in the brackets but is there anything i can do about the actual tracker and if you dont do you know anybody who does

Thanks

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).

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.

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.
