Ontguy02 Posted November 19, 2009 Report Share Posted November 19, 2009 It's been a while since I've been here, but let me quickly get this through: since last weekend (not sure if it was on the advent of the 1.8.5 update... might be) I have not been able to download .torrents. According to the Tracker, I'm "connected", so to speak. Uploading is fine; haven't had any issues there. But unfortunately, downloading is a no go.I checked the speed guide to see if maybe it could be fixed there; no dice. Router information isn't going to work considering I'm using a shared connection (and, for that matter, am "borrowing" the router connection). Though, I doubt that has anything to do with it. I am currently out of ideas as to what it could be. Any suggestions? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ontguy02 Posted November 20, 2009 Author Report Share Posted November 20, 2009 I've actually tried a good portion of what you've linked me to already. Not only that, I've tried the sites linked in there to test for connection speeds, and they're at 0. I've checked the SLOW/INTERRUPTED INTERNET CONNECTION OR OFFLINE TRACKERS section, and nothing works there either.I give up... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DreadWingKnight Posted November 20, 2009 Report Share Posted November 20, 2009 You give up before we have any useful information to troubleshoot?Post the information the guide requests. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ontguy02 Posted November 20, 2009 Author Report Share Posted November 20, 2009 Well, I believe it may be something to do with a closed port. Unfortunately, due to my situation, I'm unable to open it. However, this was just recent, and I've been having pretty decent speeds and such prior.So, I honestly don't really know what's going on. I will, however, provide what I can:Changed values to what was mentioned in guide; changed them back afterwards.Status: Yellow Triangle with "!"[speed guide]Upload: 36.0 kB/sConnections (per-torrent) : 80Max Active Torrents: 3Upload Slots: 4Connections (Global) : 230Max Active Downloads: 2net.max_halfopen = 8Windows XP Home Edition (2002) Service Pack 3Windows default firewall (exception for utorrent), AVG Anti-Virus Free Edition, SUPERAntiSpywareI'm not sure what the router is, but I think one is NetGear and the other is Linksys. The Modem, I have no idea.ISP... no clue (is there a way to check from my computer?)Connection type: DSLAnd that's all I know at present. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lightstorm Posted November 20, 2009 Report Share Posted November 20, 2009 Hi, guys!I have a problem with downloading torrent. There are 2 peers are they are taking my content off. But at the same time I can not download a byte, even though my torrent is not fulfilled. Where might be problem? Thank you! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
micdhack Posted November 20, 2009 Report Share Posted November 20, 2009 I have the same problem here after the upgrade to 1.8.5. The only way i can bypass the problem is to close all the torrents that are complete and seeding so that only download torrent will be active. Otherwise if i have torrents that are uploading or even waiting to upload the downloads wont start. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Switeck Posted November 20, 2009 Report Share Posted November 20, 2009 micdhack, what uTorrent settings are you using...as shown by Speed Guide (CTRL+G)?We've heard reports that bad settings contribute to this problem. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ontguy02 Posted November 20, 2009 Author Report Share Posted November 20, 2009 Okay, now I'm even more confused... I booted up uTorrent to try out what micdhack suggested, and all of a sudden, I can download.Well... I'm officially baffled. Okay, I have downloading, but no uploading... what is going on here??:s Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
micdhack Posted November 21, 2009 Report Share Posted November 21, 2009 My settings are:upload limit: 200kb/sconnections per torrent: 25max active torrents: 10upload slots: 5connections (global): 50max active downloads: 2port: 61391In order to get download to work i put utorrent to stop seeding when a file is 0% shared..which means immediately when a file is complete. If i set it to 100% i have to many uploads open but until all of my uploads are done and closed the downloads will just wait(note: they are not as queue-waiting but with a downloading status.)
