New user with downloading problems :( (yes i have read everything)

[JiaN]

Hi

Sorry to bother you ppl but i recently dl utorrent again (i use to use it long ago). I read all the threads abt other ppls problems however the solutions all didnt work for me. I have forwarded my port (went to www.portforward.com port start no. is 6112)and switched off all my firewalls. I am using AVG (free version).and I have no error msgs all the torrents i upload has 0seeds and 0 peers

I have also read wat the signs mean i have the red down arrow (tracker prob) i know but i dont know how to solve this problem

the systems shows this under "tracker" i think this might be the problem:

http://eztv.tracker.thepiratebay.org/announce offline (timed out) 2m 58s 0 0 0

udp://eztv.tracker.thepiratebay.org:80/announce Connection timed out. 10m 9s 0 0 0

plz help me .......................

Does the problem persist using openoffice torrents?

Ya the same thing happens (red down arrow) no seeds or peers

i got this msg from the tracker tho

"No connection could be made because the target machine actively refused it."

sigh i guess theres no hope anymore......

Could it be that i didnt switch off my firewall properly or portforwarded properly? I was going thru utorrents and the only error or somthing that shows there is smthing wrong is under the tracker bar here are the msges shown:

[DHT] waiting for announce... 0 0 0

[Local Peer Discovery] working 0 0 0

[Peer Exchange] working 0 0 0

http://clients-tracker.enlist-a-distro.net:9800/announce No connection could be made because the target machine actively refused it. 42s 0 0 0

Thank for the help so far DWK appreciate it

There may be throttling done by an ISP "above" yours which provides yours with internet connectivity.
