catbrow Posted February 27, 2006 Report Share Posted February 27, 2006 Im new to Torrent and im currently using 'Torrent 1.4'. When I type in a subject in the search box a new window is opened from which i save the file to my computer and open it in 'torrent' but none of the files will download.It says 'seeds - 0 of 0 connected (0 in swarm)''peers - 0 of 0 connected (0 in swarm)'Tracker status - offline - timed outDHT Status - AnnouncingAvaliablity is also 0.000None of this means anything to me, as im used to dealing with 'Bearshare, Imesh' etc etc.Can anyone help me with this....I really dont have a clue what is going onI also cant help but feel ive been ripped off as i paid £11 for Torrent through www.tv.org, wen it seems its avaliable for free......Im a little bit annoyed!!!Hope someone can help....thanxCraig Wilson Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Inf Posted February 27, 2006 Report Share Posted February 27, 2006 First, demand your money back.Second, try using some big and well known torrent site to start your downloads.For example, try http://www.torrentreactor.to or http://www.tvrss.netDont use the search, its not like imesh or bearshare, bittorent isnt a one big searchable network, but a distribution protocol. Just google for something like "bittorrent tutorial" to learn more about it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Firon Posted February 27, 2006 Report Share Posted February 27, 2006 Yes, demand your money back. If it was paid with a credit card, contact your credit card company.Tracker offline means just that, the tracker is offline. If DHT cant' find any peers either, the torrent may likely just be dead. So, you'll have to find it on another site and hope for the best. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
llrand Posted February 28, 2006 Report Share Posted February 28, 2006 Not only try to get you money back and also search for what you wish on the examples given before, but you can try http://isohunt.com/ , http://btjunkie.org/ , or http://www.mininova.org/ . These have lots of torrents covering almost everything.Remember also, in order for the download to work, it must have both seeds and peers.Good luck Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
