llbgal Posted October 9, 2008 Report Share Posted October 9, 2008 Torrents that I had downloaded a few days ago are continuing to work properly. However, anything new that I d/l is going straight to a red inactive square. I have a green checkmark for how my network is operating. I specifically chose torrents that seemed to have a lot of activity (i.e. lots of seeders) just to check out the issue and they are immediately going to red inactive as well.DHT; Local Peer Discovery; and Peer Exchange are all showing as inactive (and 0's for everything).Something must be going on with either my settings or ISP or something... however, I find it weird that the torrents I started a few days ago are still fine.I have read through some of the manuals recommended by others -- but, so far no fix has worked. I am sure more info. is needed ... but if someone could help or indicated what info. I should post... that would be great!TIA Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thelittlefire Posted October 9, 2008 Report Share Posted October 9, 2008 Red doesn't mean inactive http://utorrent.com/faq.php#What_do_the_red_icons_mean_on_the_torrent_status_icons.3FWhat is the Status column say on the Trackers tab? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
remodrummer Posted October 9, 2008 Report Share Posted October 9, 2008 thelittlefire,I am having the same problem as llbgal. I looked at the tracker tab of torrent and it says:"Only one usage of each socket address (protocol/network address/port) is normally permitted) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
llbgal Posted October 9, 2008 Author Report Share Posted October 9, 2008 I have the red square with the white dot in the middle indicating that the d/l has stopped. Under the tracker tab at the bottom -- everything is listed as inactive. I realize that torrents can become inactive, however, as I indicated above I experimented by trying to use popular torrents that had a lot of u/l (seeding) activity.I don't think this is a Rogers issue because any torrent I d/l a few days ago is still working and my network status shows a green check mark.

llbgal Posted October 9, 2008 Author Report Share Posted October 9, 2008 DWK:[DHT] inactive[Local Peer Discovery] Inactive[Peer Exchange] Inactive(and then for the particular torrent there are a list of trackers -- for e.g.)http://inferno.demonoid.com:3396/announcehttp://tv.tracker.thepiratebay.org:80/announcehttp://tracker.prq.to:80/announcehttp://denis.stalker.h3q.com:6969/announcehttp://torrent-downloads.to:5869/announceThe previously d/l torrent is still working away and the DHT; Local Peer Discovery and Peer Exchange all show as working.I also tried to d/l a torrent from OpenOffice.org -- and I got the same red "stopped" square showing as inactive.Any thoughts on what else to try?

DreadWingKnight Posted October 9, 2008 Report Share Posted October 9, 2008 And what status do you have for the trackers for all of these torrents? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
llbgal Posted October 9, 2008 Author Report Share Posted October 9, 2008 I am not sure if I am understanding your question correctly... so, I will answer what I think you are asking.The other torrent that is still working and d/l'ing the trackers show as "working".The "red-squared" one (I deleted the other red squared ones but, my recollection is that they were the same)... there is NO status listed beside the actual trackers.

thelittlefire Posted October 10, 2008 Report Share Posted October 10, 2008 ... Right click on the column headers and tick "status" column. If it's started there MUST be a status. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
llbgal Posted October 10, 2008 Author Report Share Posted October 10, 2008 thelittlefire:DHT; Local Peer Discovery and Peer Exchange all have a status of "inactive". However, all of the URLs below those -- do not have a status. Yes, status is "checked"... it is just blank beside the URLs Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thelittlefire Posted October 10, 2008 Report Share Posted October 10, 2008 ... Status column in the main torrent view is "checked"? It needs to be Downloading/Seeding.Checking 0->100% applies when you right click, force recheck... or uTorrent recovers from an improper shutdown.

llbgal Posted October 11, 2008 Author Report Share Posted October 11, 2008 I apologize... my mistake as to what you were asking. In the main torrent view... the "status" beside the tracker says "stopped". When I force re-check -- it checks and then stops again.So -- any thoughts on what else I should look at?

thelittlefire Posted October 11, 2008 Report Share Posted October 11, 2008 OK. Well it can't be red when stopped unless there's an error. http://utorrent.com/faq.php#What_do_all_the_status_icons_mean.3FWhen you check the torrent, are you expecting it to complete? Are you sure you point the data at the correct location, right click, advanced, set download location, CLICK on the File or Folder you want it to set. After the recheck correct it will not start. This is different than if you needed to recheck the torrent and simply pressed START. It would proceed from Checking 0% -> 100% and then start downloading/seeding (where appropriate).Only when the torrent is started will you see a status in the Status column of the Trackers tab which would be helpful similar to the unrelated post remodrummer made above. In that case it's likely that multiple uTorrents are running in the background causing trouble when they all try to use the same port. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
llbgal Posted October 11, 2008 Author Report Share Posted October 11, 2008 means the torrent is a stopped downloadI had the red square with the dot in it. What I just tried -- which seemed to work is Force starting... that seemed to get the d/l started.I still find this strange. Is there a reason I would have to force start -- do I have a setting set incorrectly?Thanks for the help! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thelittlefire Posted October 11, 2008 Report Share Posted October 11, 2008 When you set torrents to download they get a Queue #, shown in the "#" column. If you go past the active queue numbers (Ctrl-P > Queueing) you will see "Queued Seed/Download". Force Start ignores queue settings, so that would explain why you see it active then.

llbgal Posted October 11, 2008 Author Report Share Posted October 11, 2008 Okay. The only thing I don't understand is that my max # of d/l's was set at 5. I had one torrent d/l'ing and it was from a torrent I started several days ago. Anything since a couple days ago immediately goes to red... and it seems I must force start to get it going...I.e. there were only two attempted d/l's and the second item was still going to red -- download stopped.
