Route66 Posted December 21, 2008 Report Share Posted December 21, 2008 Why is it some torrents on uTorrent aren't downloading but when I try using BitTornado/BitTorrent then it does download (slow, but better than nothing) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Switeck Posted December 21, 2008 Report Share Posted December 21, 2008 Could just be the torrents...and whether uTorrent is properly port forwarded/not firewalled. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Route66 Posted December 22, 2008 Author Report Share Posted December 22, 2008 If it works better under BitTornado/BitTorrent on the same PC I don't see that it would be the torrent, port forwarding or the firewall Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Switeck Posted December 22, 2008 Report Share Posted December 22, 2008 Ok, so is uTorrent getting the green light at the bottom of its window?Did you try Ultima's troubleshooting guide? (1st link in my signature) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Route66 Posted January 8, 2009 Author Report Share Posted January 8, 2009 ok, I tried the Ultima's troubleshooting guide & no improvement.As mentioned using the same PC a torrent doesn't download on uTorrent (no peers) but if I use BitTornado/BitTorrent I see ~15 peers.Why would that difference be?Also with uTorrent, If I pause all other torrents to give that one all the port it makes no difference & often with a Torrent that does download when I do that to speed it up it actually causes it to slow or stop (maybe cause I'm not sharing overall?It seems uTorrent doesn't connect as well to peers, any way to imrpove that or tell the programming staff to look into it?

Switeck Posted January 8, 2009 Report Share Posted January 8, 2009 Do these torrents use the unsupported and non-standard UDP tracker format or made using the corrupting BitComet method?Do they happen to use extended character sets for their filenames?

Route66 Posted January 11, 2009 Author Report Share Posted January 11, 2009 They do not use extended character sets for their filenames.I'm not sure how to check to find the answer for your other question (let me know), but it happens often with various torrents Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Switeck Posted January 12, 2009 Report Share Posted January 12, 2009 Tracker tab in uTorrent while selecting that torrent will tell what the status of that tracker/s the torrent uses is...as well as their web location/s. If all of them use udp, it won't work because uTorrent doesn't support that nonstandardized format. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Route66 Posted January 18, 2009 Author Report Share Posted January 18, 2009 It wasn't clear from you message how I tell if they're all using udp & I don't see that in the tracker tab. Can you be more specific what to click then what to look for?what is udp?even if all they did use udp non-standardized would that cuase Bit Tornado to see more peers & thus Download better?Often uTorrent shows a few or no peers while on the same PC & Torrent Bit Tornado shows ~10-15?Why isn't uTorrent seeing those peers? I have the max connections 120, per torrent 25 & upload 3even if I stop all other torrents it doesn't help. Maybe there's a bug in utorrent?I just took a torrent from uTorrent that wasn't downloading at all & only had one seed. I loaded it into Bittornado & it had 3 seeds and was downloading at 30 kB/s. What's wrong with UTorrents that it's not seeing the seeders & downloading? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Switeck Posted January 19, 2009 Report Share Posted January 19, 2009 If a tracker is listed as:udp://something.cominstead of:http://something.comIT WILL NOT WORK IN uTorrent.Meaning uTorrent cannot connect to that tracker to get a list of ANY peer/seed ips.Maybe BitTornado's UPnP is working when uTorrent's is not?If you're firewalled in uTorrent you cannot connect to other firewalled peers/seeds.So is/was uTorrent firewalled?

Route66 Posted January 19, 2009 Author Report Share Posted January 19, 2009 ok, I checked the torrents I've been refering to & none have udp trackers.I don't believe firewalls a problem, I setup windows firewall & router to allow port forwarding & I have a green all is ok from uTorrent.Any other ideas? Otherwise I"ll just have to use bit tornado to finsih torrents that are stalled in utorrent (a pain)Thanks for your time though I hope we can find the problem Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Switeck Posted January 19, 2009 Report Share Posted January 19, 2009 How do you settings in uTorrent differ from BitTornado's? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Route66 Posted January 20, 2009 Author Report Share Posted January 20, 2009 I don't know of any difference in settings it's like apples & oranges, they very different. I don't hink it's a seetign I changed. I think it's the way it's setup (maybe it's default). Do you really think it would be worth me typing the settings for each? ugh Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Switeck Posted January 20, 2009 Report Share Posted January 20, 2009 Yes, it would be helpful for us to know what settings you're using in each if we're to fix uTorrent. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
