haggod Posted January 18, 2006 Report Share Posted January 18, 2006 hey there,since azureus is slowing my system down i'd like to switch to utorrent. on doing that i stumbled across the following problem:a few torrents that are downloading fine with azureus won't connect to the tracker in utorrent. i get a tracker-timeout message in azureus, but the torrents still download fine. all these torrents are on rather busy trackers, but like i said, they download in azureus but just won't connect in utorrent. does anybody have a clue what's causing this?edit: dht is enabledany help would be greatly apreciated!

1c3d0g Posted January 18, 2006 Report Share Posted January 18, 2006 The DHT implementation in µTorrent is different than that of Azureus (µTorrent uses DHT from Mainline and BitVomit, Azureus has its own separate DHT). Maybe that's why it isn't working in µTorrent. :/ I don't know what to say, maybe you should finish them in Azureus after all and then load your new torrents in µTorrent?

ICleolion Posted January 18, 2006 Report Share Posted January 18, 2006 What does your DHT status say in the Tracker section of the General tab for these torrents that "wont connect"? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
haggod Posted January 18, 2006 Author Report Share Posted January 18, 2006 It says 'waitinig for announce' - I guess that's not a good thing... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ICleolion Posted January 18, 2006 Report Share Posted January 18, 2006 how long are you giving it to announce before you give up with utorrent. Which trackers are you connecting to? and i assume that at least some of the torrents your trying in utorrent are finding DHT peers right? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
haggod Posted January 18, 2006 Author Report Share Posted January 18, 2006 the tracker is http://216.32.82.126:7001/announce, it's down, but i'm out of choices since it's the only tracker with seeds for what i'm trying to download. i gave the torrents more than one hour to announce.i downloaded a few torrents today, they all loaded fine since the tracker was ok, but the DHT status kept saying 'waiting for announce'.

ICleolion Posted January 18, 2006 Report Share Posted January 18, 2006 dont mention specific torrents here.So none of your torrents are finding any DHT peers? What does it say in your status bar (DHT: xx peers??)? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
haggod Posted January 18, 2006 Author Report Share Posted January 18, 2006 sorry for mentioning specific torrents, i'm new here...i can't find anything in utorrent telling me how many DHT peers are connected. it only says 'Peers: 0 of 0 connected (0 in swarm)' and 'DHT status: waiting for announce'. am i looking in the wrong place?

ICleolion Posted January 18, 2006 Report Share Posted January 18, 2006 In the bottom centre of the program, in the status bar, next to your global download and upload speeds is where it says DHT: XXX peers. If it doesnt give a number of peers, then what does it say? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Firon Posted January 18, 2006 Report Share Posted January 18, 2006 Make sure you're not running both clients at the same time, and make sure your firewall isn't blocking µTorrent Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If it doesnt give a number of peers, then what does it say?allright, now i know what you mean - it says 'DHT: waiting to log in', then changes to 'DHT: 0 peers (log in)' just to go back to 'DHT: waiting to log in' after a few seconds. it's doing that over and over again.Make sure you're not running both clients at the same time, and make sure your firewall isn't blocking µTorrenti am not running both clients at the same time and my firewall is not blocking utorrent. i already downloaded files at great speed, just the ones with tracker problems won't download, so i guess there's a DHT problem?

ICleolion Posted January 18, 2006 Report Share Posted January 18, 2006 are you using uPnP? if not have you forwarded your ports correctly? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
haggod Posted January 18, 2006 Author Report Share Posted January 18, 2006 since i've got no idea what uPnP is i guess i'm not using it and again, since i don't know how to forward a port correctly i don't think i've done that either... :/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ICleolion Posted January 18, 2006 Report Share Posted January 18, 2006 well look here http://forum.utorrent.com/viewtopic.php?id=4887 and look at www.portforward.comare you even using a router btw? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
haggod Posted January 18, 2006 Author Report Share Posted January 18, 2006 i am not using a router. my internet connection is a t1 lan. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ICleolion Posted January 18, 2006 Report Share Posted January 18, 2006 so your accessing a lan, but dont have the ability to configure the network, if i understand your set-up correctly.That would explain why Azureus works then, as it uses NAT Traversal for DHT. Utorrent doesn't.But i may be wrong in saying thats the cause of your problem. It would help if someone with more knowledge pitched in here.

haggod Posted January 18, 2006 Author Report Share Posted January 18, 2006 yep, you understand that correctly. so i guess this means i'll have to stick to azureus for certain torrents.anyway, thanks for your help, it's greatly appreciated!

Firon Posted January 19, 2006 Report Share Posted January 19, 2006 I think there's a routing problem on the internet, many people can't access router.bittorrent.com (and other sites) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
