whahum Posted August 10, 2008 Report Posted August 10, 2008 I have windows vista i have dsl with at&t not sure if they block or not but i cant connect to more than 2 seeds out of a torrent that says 200, Warhammer beta!!i have a green light ports are forwarded but its acting like im firewalled im stumped. Says every things good but something is obviously wrong.
Switeck Posted August 10, 2008 Report Posted August 10, 2008 A torrent's tracker may still be handing out dead ips of seeds that left hours ago. Peer Exchange and DHT can hand out ips of seeds that left a DAY or more ago. Sadly, this means the number can get greatly inflated beyond what's really there.Even out of the seeds that are out there...they may reach connection max per torrent and refuse more connections. Or be firewalled...and not making any more outgoing connections at this time for that torrent.Then there's other ISPs which disconnect/disrupt/throttle BitTorrent peers and seeds...these too can partially explain horrible results.
