access denied only allowed to seed

Er... this is probably a tracker side 'issue'. You probably have a very, very bad ratio with the tracker, OR you aren't allowed to jump on 'new' torrents. Check out the site that you are getting the torrents from. It's most likely a private tracker that you'll need to: 1. Register into; and 2. Meet the download requirements for that torrent.

That is a tracker message. The torrent you got is originally from a private tracker... that means the tracker doesn't allow just anyone to use it. It is for that reason the tracker error message pops up. It is advised to try another tracker or add a different public tracker to your list. To learn about this you may want to check out the µManual.

If the exact message reads:

"Failure: access denied, leeching forbidden, you're only allowed to seed" then this is an issue with movieX.

They upload their torrents to public trackers and abuse the public swarm by only allowing seeders to connect to their peers.

Edit: if it is movieX, just remove their tracker URL from the torrent properties.

I was thinking of putting that article up but didn't think it would really contribute, I think I read somewhere that there guest account only allows a certain number of downloads, whether or not that's true though it's still possible to abuse the system.

Edit: http://www.slyck.com/forums/viewtopic.php?f=1&t=40006&st=0&sk=t&sd=a&start=25#p444717 I'm not taking sides either way, since true or not it can be abused.

protip: I knew exactly what the error was, and why it was caused, however since we try to keep content to a minimum here undue "advertising" for sites ... is discouraged. All trackers have gimmicks, and moviex just happpens to allow a limited number of peers onto their guest passkeys (there are two)...during off-hours.
