ThreeHeadedDog Posted March 13, 2008 Report Share Posted March 13, 2008 Alright so I'm trying to download this thing that was recently uploaded and it just isn't even starting. 0%. I did the whole port forwarding deal so I don't know what the problem is.I tried it with regular bittorent and I get this error message:"Aborting the torrent as it could not connect to the tracker while not connected to any peers"In utorrent it simple doesn't do anything. The file listing says that several people have completed download of the file (this was AFTER I started it too) so the problem is local.What's the deal here???BTW, it shows 0 (1) seeds and 0 (4) peers.But I'm almost sure people are actively downloading it right now because the number of peers/seeds is higher on the torrent site (and has gone up since I got the torrent)Also, I have McAfee AV installed... not sure if that would affect anything...

Firon Posted March 13, 2008 Report Share Posted March 13, 2008 The tracker is likely down.Try a torrent from here. http://distribution.openoffice.org/p2p/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ThreeHeadedDog Posted March 13, 2008 Author Report Share Posted March 13, 2008 Yeah I can download other torrents.It says there's like 18 peers and 12 leeches though so doesn't that mean some people are getting it to work???What does it mean that the tracker's down?thanks (I'm clueless about this stuff)EDIT: Alright did some research and that means that there are 18 people d/ling and I cant' connect right? Why can't I connect to them? I did the port forwarding thing already. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Firon Posted March 13, 2008 Report Share Posted March 13, 2008 The tracker is what the client uses to find peers. If it's down, you're not gonna find any. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ThreeHeadedDog Posted March 13, 2008 Author Report Share Posted March 13, 2008 But the torrent says it's been "completed" 20something times which means people are downloading it right?In utorrent it shows that I have like 23 peers but it's shown as 0 (23) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Firon Posted March 14, 2008 Report Share Posted March 14, 2008 The website is not the tracker. And a scrape working is not the same as the announce. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
