asandhu Posted April 27, 2009 Report Share Posted April 27, 2009 Hey everyone, i just noticed this problem after updating uTorrent to the latest beta build, every tracker shows the "..target machine actively refused..." error. I downgraded back to the latest stable version and the problem is still there. I will post a screenshot to show what I mean. I know that the speed now is acceptable, but with the other trackers connected, I would be getting more than double what i have now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DreadWingKnight Posted April 27, 2009 Report Share Posted April 27, 2009 Your image got munched.What internet security software do you have installed?Have you tried OpenOffice torrents? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
asandhu Posted April 27, 2009 Author Report Share Posted April 27, 2009 Well I think you can see the status, thats all that really matters.I have AVG Free Edition and Symantec Antivirus, which I think dont have any firewalls.No I haven't, what are they?

DreadWingKnight Posted April 27, 2009 Report Share Posted April 27, 2009 http://distribution.openoffice.org/p2pTorrents where we KNOW the tracker status. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
asandhu Posted April 27, 2009 Author Report Share Posted April 27, 2009 Yes, those work perfectly, I got over 1 Mb/s with that torrent. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DreadWingKnight Posted April 27, 2009 Report Share Posted April 27, 2009 Then chances are, the problem is with the specific tracker(s) shown in the torrent and there's nothing that can be done except wait. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
asandhu Posted April 27, 2009 Author Report Share Posted April 27, 2009 Is it really that likely that ALL of the different trackers suddenly went down at the same time? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
moogly Posted April 27, 2009 Report Share Posted April 27, 2009 Make a better screenshot of Tracker tab.If they are TPB, TPB's trackers are offline currently. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
asandhu Posted April 27, 2009 Author Report Share Posted April 27, 2009 http://i42.tinypic.com/301g3fq.jpgClick the link. Not all of them are from TPB. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DreadWingKnight Posted April 27, 2009 Report Share Posted April 27, 2009 No, just most of them.Of the ones that are listed as down in that screenshot, only ONE of them is not a TPB tracker. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
asandhu Posted April 27, 2009 Author Report Share Posted April 27, 2009 Hmm, yea thats probably it then. Does anyone know when TPB will be coming back online? Or is it down for good since their trial? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
moogly Posted April 27, 2009 Report Share Posted April 27, 2009 Yes it's relative to TPB servers or trackers, I got "offline (time out)" status in my client too. So you have to wait. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zlo2 Posted April 27, 2009 Report Share Posted April 27, 2009 Just wanted to say that I have the same situation. All TPB trackers are down.I must say this is a strange feeling. I've gotten so used to bitTorrent over the past few years, it's hard to imagine my life without it. Lets hope that doesn't happen. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lazybug Posted April 27, 2009 Report Share Posted April 27, 2009 Hi,for me, the "udp://tracker.piratebay.org:80/announce" has never worked.But the regular one; "http://tracker.piratebay.org/announce" works without any problem until the last quite a few hours. It seems that all piratebay servers are down. Even the piratebay website doesnt open.I am able to download few files but for one, the only thing that worked was the the piratebay tracker (DHT, Local Peer Discovery, Peer Exchange doesnt work for that particular file either). Now all activity has stopped completely for this file (Hellgate London) and I am stuck at 88%. With the very slow connection that I have; it took an eternity to download that 88% and it feels sick if I am to get stuck coming so close to completion. Is PirateBay facing some technical issues or somthing else?****Guys,as of now, the piratebay tracker is working again... though the piratebay webpage is still down.Any ideas as why for my computer "udp://tracker.piratebay.org:80/announce" shows as "invalid url"?Thanks.

archanfel Posted April 27, 2009 Report Share Posted April 27, 2009 well it isnt working for me at all, all i get is (connection closed by peer), (a sochet operation was attempted to an unreachable host), (hostname not found), and (no connection could be made because the target machine actively refused it) and that happens for each torrent i try to download and it isnt downloading (down speed 0) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ismahill Posted April 27, 2009 Report Share Posted April 27, 2009 actually guys, the tracker is working.maybe TPB is connected to various trackers or otherwise..? strange what u say, it's the same one, at port 80.the site is offline for some reason, strange, they got loads of people signed and didn't even put any sort of message.try waiting for a while, maybe in the evening morning it will come by, it is atleast from yesterday noon at your day time.

archanfel Posted April 27, 2009 Report Share Posted April 27, 2009 i had this problem for over 53 hours now and i even tried other trackers but still i get the red icon and no downloading at all Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DreadWingKnight Posted April 27, 2009 Report Share Posted April 27, 2009 Any ideas as why for my computer "udp://tracker.piratebay.org:80/announce" shows as "invalid url"?Because uTorrent doesn't support UDP trackers.TPB's problems can be attributed to the slashdot effect Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
moogly Posted April 27, 2009 Report Share Posted April 27, 2009 It was a temporary technical issue, I think. Now all trackers relative to TPB are working fine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
