Guest Posted August 31, 2010 Report Share Posted August 31, 2010 Could anyone give me possible explanations why I can't get any dowloads to start when a torrent does have a few seeds available? For several days I see like "Seeds 0 (3) Peers 0 (2)". What's going on? It's just a few specific ones. I don't have any problem with others from same tracker...

pippincp Posted August 31, 2010 Report Share Posted August 31, 2010 Have you made sure you are connectable? ie Forwarded your ports through your firewall. There is an indicator in uTorrent which should have a green tick (centre, bottom of GUI). You can also check your connection in the Options tab.(speed test) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DreadWingKnight Posted August 31, 2010 Report Share Posted August 31, 2010 If it's limited to these specific torrents, then it could just be that the seeds in question aren't there.But then again, if you're seeding you won't connect to them anyway.

Switeck Posted August 31, 2010 Report Share Posted August 31, 2010 The numbers in brackets could refer to seeds/peers seen some time ago that are now dead/gone.Right-click on the torrent and do advanced, clear peer list.Another possibility is a seed or peer could be changing ips and getting counted multiple times.Or worse...have both a IPv4 and IPv6 or even Teredo/IPv6 addresses and getting counted as 2 or even 3 peers/seeds!

Guest Posted August 31, 2010 Report Share Posted August 31, 2010 Have you made sure you are connectable? I clearly said I don't have problems with other torrents.If it's limited to these specific torrents, then it could just be that the seeds in question aren't there.But then again, if you're seeding you won't connect to them anyway.Well it says they are.. I even see them in the peer list. But they don't start uploading, ever.If I was seeding I wouldn't ask this question Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Switeck Posted August 31, 2010 Report Share Posted August 31, 2010 I even see them in the peer list. But they don't start uploading, ever.So these seeds are actually connecting to uTorrent and show up in the Peers window/tab?What's the status flags on them? Something like D IEXP?

Guest Posted August 31, 2010 Report Share Posted August 31, 2010 Hm now I can't see them at all. They apparently do show up sometimes. But no connection. I definitely saw D flag. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Switeck Posted August 31, 2010 Report Share Posted August 31, 2010 Right-click on the torrent.Choose Advanced, Reset bans.Then quickly go to the logger window/tab and see if it actually unbanned any ips. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted August 31, 2010 Report Share Posted August 31, 2010 no bans whatsoeverI guess the seeds are simply problematic. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
