DaltonRogers Posted September 5, 2009 Report Share Posted September 5, 2009 Just recently downloaded uTorrent, and for a while it worked. I downloaded a few items a few days ago, and they worked fine. However, since yesterday, I haven't been able to download anything. And instead of a blue download arrow, there's a red one. Even though it says on the tracker that there are many seeds and peers (and I've done this multiple times), I'm getting zero seeds or peers. And yes, my firewall is set to allow uTorrent, my port is fine, and my speed is good. Any idea what the problem may be? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ultima Posted September 5, 2009 Report Share Posted September 5, 2009 In the Trackers tab, what errors are shown in the Status column? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DaltonRogers Posted September 5, 2009 Author Report Share Posted September 5, 2009 offline (timed out)Failure: not authorized, authentication required - none provided (don't understand that, it's a public tracker)No connection could be made because the target machine actively refused it.

Ultima Posted September 5, 2009 Report Share Posted September 5, 2009 Failure: not authorized, authentication required - none provided (don't understand that, it's a public tracker)Apparently not. You're having tracker issues, so perhaps you should try using DHT and hope that you find sources there. If that fails, then you're going to have to find another torrent with working trackers (or hope that one of these trackers comes back online).

DaltonRogers Posted September 5, 2009 Author Report Share Posted September 5, 2009 MiniNova is a public tracker, right?Also, what's DHT? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ultima Posted September 5, 2009 Report Share Posted September 5, 2009 It's like a distributed tracker. You can enable it in Preferences > BitTorrent. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DaltonRogers Posted September 5, 2009 Author Report Share Posted September 5, 2009 Already enabled. My IP/Hostname to Report to Tracker is empty. Is that a problem? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ultima Posted September 5, 2009 Report Share Posted September 5, 2009 No. What does the Trackers tab's entry for DHT show? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ultima Posted September 7, 2009 Report Share Posted September 7, 2009 If that fails, then you're going to have to find another torrent with working trackers (or hope that one of these trackers comes back online).I guess that's that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
