heeddaebaw Posted March 22, 2009 Report Share Posted March 22, 2009 ive just been scanning through different threads and found out the red arrow means there is an error with the tracker or the tracker down... anyway a few days ago, all my torrents have a red arrow. It cant be the tracker cause ive tried lots of sites, private and public trackers and they all seem to be down... any suggestions on why this is happening, im using 1.8.1 and xp 64bit... everything was working fine a few days ago and nothing has been changed to my pcthanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

moogly Posted March 26, 2009 Report Share Posted March 26, 2009 All your trackers or just only one?Try with OO torrents: http://distribution.openoffice.org/p2p/ (choose a random one like Win/OO3.0.1/En) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TiffanyAnn Posted March 26, 2009 Report Share Posted March 26, 2009 I am having this same problem. it is with ALL trackers and i've tried many different sites, but its all the same. It was fine a few days ago and have made no changes. Under the tracker tab, it says nothing is allowed and then it says No connection can be made because the target machine is actively refusing it. I am VERY new to all this, so please if you can help me, then thank you, but dont reply if your going to just put me down. Thank you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

derkaderka! Posted March 27, 2009 Report Share Posted March 27, 2009 i have this problem too. my uTorrent version is 1.8.2 (build 14458)... i got all kind tracker messages from "offline (timed out)" to "connection closed by peer" or "no connection could be made because the target actively refused it". i have this with all the trackers i am downloading from... about 20. from private to public. i used all kinds of older versions of uTorrent, but this only started happening after i installed the version i mention earlier. i have NAT, but the ports are ok and forwarded. the network indicator is lit green and says "network OK". i tried to install older versions to undo this, but somehow it stayed the same. what's the deal here?

Switeck Posted March 27, 2009 Report Share Posted March 27, 2009 Sounds like hostile (commercial?) software on your computer.Either a misbehaving software firewall possibly in your AV/AS.Or a file/media indexer gone berserk....Then there's the more sinister possibilities of viruses, trojans, and spyware.

TiffanyAnn Posted March 28, 2009 Report Share Posted March 28, 2009 I solved my problem by uninstalling and reinstalling and then followed the port forwarding instructions once again. Nothing else seemed to work. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
derkaderka! Posted March 28, 2009 Report Share Posted March 28, 2009 ok, thanks Switeck. i will look into it. unfortunately i don't have any antivirus installed so it might be it. still it seems little wierd that it started right after i installed the new version.

derkaderka! Posted April 6, 2009 Report Share Posted April 6, 2009 hm okay i tried even formatting my hdd and installing a new antivirus (avast!) and i still get the connection errors. what could it be?edit:okay so i've just found out about the possibility that my ISP might be blocking peer-to-peer applications. as a last solution entered it in the search engine and actualy quite a lot of blogs and disscussions about it poped up. then again those people also posted statements from the company denying it and it just might be the common internet paranoia in the end. i am from Czech Republic and it just doesn't seem like a viable theory that one of the internet provider companies would take this "piracy and copyright" issues that seriously... or at least that there hasn't been any pressure from outside, any that i know of that is. does anyone have similar experience with his provider?btw is it possible to determine whether they are blocking it or not? besides phoning them of course.

Switeck Posted April 7, 2009 Report Share Posted April 7, 2009 Know anyone else who uses uTorrent?...preferably on the same ISP.Can you test on another computer or even network or ISP?Testing your computer on a different network + ISP could possibly rule them out as the cause of your problems.
