schnurlos Posted September 13, 2008 Report Share Posted September 13, 2008 You will not get any help here using an old version. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
snoobar Posted September 13, 2008 Author Report Share Posted September 13, 2008 I was also having the same problem with 1.8, the newest build . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thelittlefire Posted September 13, 2008 Report Share Posted September 13, 2008 Alt-H-A build? 1.8 stable shouldn't have these problems. What is your Ctrl-P > Advanced > net.max_halfopen say? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
snoobar Posted September 13, 2008 Author Report Share Posted September 13, 2008 the build i have is 11813my net.max_halfopen is *50 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thelittlefire Posted September 13, 2008 Report Share Posted September 13, 2008 Lower halfopen back to default. Yes, Alt-H-A is shortcut keys for the about dialog which shows the build number... but you figured that out Also for verification, do torrents from http://slackware.com/torrents/ also show the same thing?

snoobar Posted September 13, 2008 Author Report Share Posted September 13, 2008 I lowered the halfopen back to default, which is 8.so what do i need to do with that site? I tried using the torrent and it timed out.It also said the file was to big and it prompted me to either continue or not.*edit* the torrent from the website isnt doing anything.**-----------------------------*edit update* all the torrents(9 of them) are green and ready to seed. the tracker updates are at about 21 min away from recheck.** Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thelittlefire Posted September 13, 2008 Report Share Posted September 13, 2008 You don't need to download the whole thing, it's only a test. So under the Trackers tab, for Status it says ... what message? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
snoobar Posted September 13, 2008 Author Report Share Posted September 13, 2008 the tracker says, for all the torrents including the *test*, "offline timed out*edit update*all the torrents are red arrowsand all the trackers say offline timed out or operation timed outI know for a fact that the trackers are online, based that the site has people both uploading and downloading.

theembryo Posted September 13, 2008 Report Share Posted September 13, 2008 Since you're running Windows, disabling Windows caching of disk read & write may help prevent issues with not enough memory.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
snoobar Posted September 13, 2008 Author Report Share Posted September 13, 2008 where can i find that function optionctrl-p? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thelittlefire Posted September 14, 2008 Report Share Posted September 14, 2008 Usually that's only problem when you're up/downloading > several MBytes / sec.It's under Ctrl-P > Advanced > Disk CachePress F1 to check out the description of the options from the manual.

Firon Posted September 14, 2008 Report Share Posted September 14, 2008 Any of you with the tracker connection issues should first restore net.max_halfopen to 8 then upgrade to 1.8.1 12183. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
snoobar Posted September 14, 2008 Author Report Share Posted September 14, 2008 yeah, Since restoring the net.max_halfopen to 8 followed by the upgrade to 1.8.1 v12183its been connecting well with the trackers.now if some of my seeds get some leeches that would be better.thanks all Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
