gregornz Posted December 25, 2005 Report Share Posted December 25, 2005 HiI installed µtorrent and downloaded 7 random well seeded torrents.The client reports all the trackers are offline [timed out]. I have changed ports and opened the firewall [XP].My research on this board suggests that the problem is that µtorrent isnt compatible with some [many?] trackers?Any ideas?Cheers.

Firon Posted December 25, 2005 Report Share Posted December 25, 2005 offline timeout means that the tracker is inaccessible, probably because it's overloaded...ESPECIALLY if it's a tracker like demonoid or thepiratebay.though, µt does show offline a bit more often because it has a lower timeout, this may be changed in the future. If you have DHT on it shouldn't matter much. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gregornz Posted December 25, 2005 Author Report Share Posted December 25, 2005 Nah, there is no way that 7 different random trackers are all down for over 24 hours...What else could it be?? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DreadWingKnight Posted December 25, 2005 Report Share Posted December 25, 2005 Have you tried disabling the firewall's protection entirely for a short time? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shadow Posted December 26, 2005 Report Share Posted December 26, 2005 i've got the same problem tried everything but it still doesn't work Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Firon Posted December 26, 2005 Report Share Posted December 26, 2005 Try the beta. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dimi Posted December 26, 2005 Report Share Posted December 26, 2005 I have the same problem and I use the beta version. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Firon Posted December 26, 2005 Report Share Posted December 26, 2005 Beta 378?Also, if it's thepiratebay or demonoid, it's always overloaded. Mongo56 is dead. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rip_pit Posted December 26, 2005 Report Share Posted December 26, 2005 no way, the trackers are not down !Today, I closed the 1.3 final release to try the new 77 beta, and i receive the error that trackers were down (with 5 active torrents and one tracker for each) even after restarting my PC the same error came back.Then i switched back to the 1.3 final and this error disapear, so the trackers were not dead.Maybe this new time value ("Increased http timeout to 60 seconds") can be the cause off this ? Maybe should try testing a higher one in the beta 77. preferences menu ? does the beta 78 give you this error too ?win xp pro / norton pers firewall / adsl 512/128 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Firon Posted December 26, 2005 Report Share Posted December 26, 2005 No, that reduces the number of timeouts. Use beta 378 and just stick with it for a while. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
windtor Posted January 1, 2006 Report Share Posted January 1, 2006 I tried version 1.3. It was great. Then I got a couple of Error: the Process is being used messages, so I shut everything down and turned off my computer. When I turned it back on, all the trackers for over 20 differrent torrents (that were downloading fine before) say offline (timeout). (I don't activate them all at the same time.) I turned off the firewall - no help. I tried getting new trackers - when I restarted ut, these worked ok, but the others were still offline. And then they went back offline again. I don't understand how this is possible. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Firon Posted January 1, 2006 Report Share Posted January 1, 2006 What trackers were showing as offline? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
windtor Posted January 1, 2006 Report Share Posted January 1, 2006 Here's a few: http://216.32.82.126:/announcehttp://www.niteshdw.net:80/announce http://tracker.xdvdz.com:2710/announce http://anderssons.ath.cx:6969/announce http://tv.tracker.prq.to:80/announce http://tracker.desitorrents.com:6969/announce http://inferno.demonoid.com:3389/announce Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Firon Posted January 1, 2006 Report Share Posted January 1, 2006 Well, all of those are working for me (except the first one, which is an invalid address)... :/Are you using the beta? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
windtor Posted January 1, 2006 Report Share Posted January 1, 2006 Yeah, I copied the first tracker wrong. No, I'm not using the beta. And, like I said, they worked fine for me before. It just seems like a very strange problem for the client to have. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
windtor Posted January 1, 2006 Report Share Posted January 1, 2006 Well, suddenly the majority of the trackers started working. I've been running it 2 hours, maybe it just need time? Still seems kind of odd, though. BitTorrent started right up, no problem. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rip_pit Posted January 1, 2006 Report Share Posted January 1, 2006 ok sorry for delay in response, first i would say: HaPpY nEw YeAr every one !.Then i would say that i switched to the latests betas and that I never had the tracker error again.Every thing works fine now and better and better after each beta release ! Great job µtorrent Team ! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Firon Posted January 1, 2006 Report Share Posted January 1, 2006 Yeah, the timeouts were raised in the betas, which reduces the number of times you see offline (timeout) for certain overloaded/slow trackers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
