indigoblu Posted July 9, 2009 Report Share Posted July 9, 2009 Hi everyone, I'm using µTorrent on my Macbook and everytime I try to download a new torrent file, it always shows up as inactive almost immediately. I've tried to download both smaller files and larger ones and each time, its the same, shows as 0b transferred and Activity as 0% even though I can see that the file itself is seeded. Does this have something to do with my security settings on my machine or have I just been unlucky enough to have been downloading torrents which aren't reliable? Thanks for any suggestions as this is driving me nuts Cheers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TJswierzewski Posted July 14, 2009 Report Share Posted July 14, 2009 That means no one is uploading it. I use http://isohunt.com/ to ind torrents because it tells you how many seeders and how many leachers.Seeders are up-loaders and leachers are down-loaders. You want a lot of seeders and as few as possible leachers. A better seeder to leacher ratio the faster you download. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Switeck Posted August 28, 2009 Report Share Posted August 28, 2009 Inactive torrents can be a client problem (bugs!), software firewall issues, router/modem/networking issues, hostile ISPs (on your end or the tracker's!) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fatboyblue Posted October 8, 2010 Report Share Posted October 8, 2010 Click options, then preferences. Then click on transfer cap. You may have to increase your transfer cap to get things running normally again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
