amyleefraser Posted January 23, 2008 Report Share Posted January 23, 2008 I am a total novice here, but when I try to download torrents I get the following message : "No connection could be made because the target machine actively refused it." I have been desperately trying to find the answer to this problem for months now. Does anyone know how to help me??? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

amyleefraser Posted January 23, 2008 Author Report Share Posted January 23, 2008 I'm not sure what I was supposed to do with that openoffice link... but i went through the steps to download it, and nothing happened. when i tried to open it after installation was finished, it just kept asking me to install it again.what does the "target machine actively refused it" error message mean? am i inadvertently blocking something?? I used to be able to download with no problem, then one day I just couldn't do it anymore. I have removed and redownloaded utorrent several times to no avail.

jewelisheaven Posted January 23, 2008 Report Share Posted January 23, 2008 Perhaps my post may help point out something which wasn't clear in the How-To?The openoffice link Firon linked to is a KNOWN, WORKING torrent, which allows elimination of certain variables to diagnose the underlying problem. Connection refused may mean the tracker is private and you are not authorized, you have software/hardware keeping you from connecting outbound, or other stuff I can't think of right now.
