kuwaiticrud Posted August 25, 2009 Report Share Posted August 25, 2009 I believe my ISP is blocking access when torrents have a tracker residing from http://tracker.openbittorrent.com/announce.If this is the only site listed in the properties of the torrent, it won't download; even though there are several hundred seeds and peers. And, I am referring to new torrents (ie something uploaded in the last week). As a test, I downloaded a torrent from UBUNTU's website and it downloaded in less than an hour. My troubled torrents are still stalling.My friend recommended I use a proxy to get these downloads to work. I see the option under Preferences but I am not sure what exactly I am to type in that field. I downloaded Vidalia's Tor Proxy application. What should I do next to get these downloads rockin?

moogly Posted August 25, 2009 Report Share Posted August 25, 2009 http://tracker.openbittorrent.com/announce. as all TPB trackers are meeting some issues.Maybe that's why you think your ISP filters this hostname. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
