huffy Posted January 1, 2006 Report Posted January 1, 2006 for some reason my utorrent doesnt wanna connect to seeds? why? for example if the torrent has 150 seeds, utorrent would only connect to 4 or 5, when the torrent has 1 seed, it wont connect at all! why is that? thx
Ultima Posted January 1, 2006 Report Posted January 1, 2006 Are you connectable? (Do you have NAT Error or some other kind of error on the status bar?)
Firon Posted January 1, 2006 Report Posted January 1, 2006 What was the tracker status? You need to give more info before saying "I HAVE A PROBLEM"

Firon Posted January 1, 2006 Report Posted January 1, 2006 Shaw interferes with BitTorrent, I recommend you get a new ISP.
huffy Posted January 1, 2006 Author Report Posted January 1, 2006 Shaw interferes with BitTorrent, I recommend you get a new ISP.for real? damn, is there another way? gettin a new ISP cost alotta $, cuz i need to buy a new modem which costs around $200
Firon Posted January 1, 2006 Report Posted January 1, 2006 Yeah, Shaw and Rogers interfere with BitTorrent, unfortunately. :/You may be able to find a workaround on the dslreports.com forums.
huffy Posted January 1, 2006 Author Report Posted January 1, 2006 so i get slow speed with shaw or what? cuz i dont get slow speed all the time, most of the times when i download off private tracker i get great speed, this is the first time im not able to connect to all the seeds
Firon Posted January 1, 2006 Report Posted January 1, 2006 Were you able to connect to normal peers with these torrents? Typically, you connect to more peers than seeders on torrents with large swarms.
huffy Posted January 1, 2006 Author Report Posted January 1, 2006 yes i am able to connect to normal peers, more than seeders, im downloading a torrent right now and it has 18 seeders and 133 peers, and im only able to connect to 4-6 seeders but im able to connect to 75/133 peers
Firon Posted January 1, 2006 Report Posted January 1, 2006 Yeah, that's perfectly normal then, since everyone has a limited amount of connections, the seeders would logically have a lot less free connection slots. Don't worry about it, you'll still be able to finish the torrent at acceptable speeds. And actually, on huge swarms, you can be connected to ONLY peers and still finish the torrent at 200 KB/s. I have before.
huffy Posted January 1, 2006 Author Report Posted January 1, 2006 thx for your help mate, appreciate it
