Reno1450 Posted February 7, 2010 Report Share Posted February 7, 2010 New here but i've been using uTorrent itself for awhile and never had a problem before.Basicly i recently downloaded a torrent and despite it saying it has 300+ Seeds on the site, uTorrent is saying it's dead (0 seeds/peers). Thats the problem in a nutshell, i experimented with other torrents just incase it was a problem with that specific torrent but then i realized uTorrent isn't finding seeds for ANY torrents! I just finished reinstalling it but no theres no changes noticeable... help is appreiciated, and i look forward to hopefully helping others on this board in the future Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DreadWingKnight Posted February 7, 2010 Report Share Posted February 7, 2010 Does the problem persist with openoffice torrents? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Reno1450 Posted February 7, 2010 Author Report Share Posted February 7, 2010 It's working fine, but everything else is still non functional Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DreadWingKnight Posted February 7, 2010 Report Share Posted February 7, 2010 It means that the seeds you think are on the torrents you're trying actually aren't there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Reno1450 Posted February 7, 2010 Author Report Share Posted February 7, 2010 That's weird, it's rather new and the sites (pirate bay, torrentz, ect.) say it's quite alive... hold on, i'll try the most popular torrent i can find-----------------------------------------------Back, i guess your right, lol thanks... One last question though, why is all the sites telling me that this torrent has 300+ seeds, yet it apparently has none? out of curiosity and the fact it's the only torrent i've found with the file i want lol-----------------------------------------------Nevermind, must be a problem with the sites themselves... That and i found another torrent with the file i was looking for so i don't care anymore lawl, it's probably riddled with viruses and other bad stuff though. >.< Thanks Dread, you've been great Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Switeck Posted February 9, 2010 Report Share Posted February 9, 2010 If those torrents were using udp trackers, those udp trackers often return MANY bogus seed/peer ips that don't exist. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
