JazzItSelf Posted January 13, 2007 Report Share Posted January 13, 2007 Anyone have any ideas?Here's my setup: I'm running utorrent on an XP machine behind a WRT54G that's running OpenWRT. I've opened up port 40000, and the utorrent port checker gives me a green light:>>Welcome to the µTorrent Port Checker.>>A test will be performed on your computer to check if the specified port is opened.>>>>Checking port 40000 on 209.6.166.206...>>>>OK! Port 40000 is open and accepting connections.>>>>You will be able to receive incoming BitTorrent connections.For a while I had zone alarm running, but disabling it seems to have had no effect. I'll be connected to about 100 peers, and 0 seeds. There are thousands of seeds on each of the torrents that I'm trying to dl, in some case more seeds then peers!Restarting utorrent, and my machine for that matter, has no effect.utorrent shows the availability as being < 1, presumably because I'm not connected to any seeds?I'd love some ideas... I've got four torrents sitting @ >90% and they wont finish!Thanks in advance Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ultima Posted January 13, 2007 Report Share Posted January 13, 2007 Fake torrent. Ditch it and find another torrent, as the people who created this torrent have been successful in reaching their goal -- to waste your time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JazzItSelf Posted January 13, 2007 Author Report Share Posted January 13, 2007 In general then, if I see a torrent that seems to have seeds, but has an availability of less then 1, can I assume that it's fake? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ultima Posted January 13, 2007 Report Share Posted January 13, 2007 Yes. Be aware that this isn't always the case, but it's (as you said) generally how things are. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
