skilldeadly Posted September 27, 2010 Report Share Posted September 27, 2010 I have used torrents for years now with no problems. All of a sudden every torrent no matter where I get it from is displaying errors with the trackers. "No connection could be made because the target machine actively refused it", "Connection timed out", and "offline (timed out)". I checked my port to make sure it was open and showed the proper IP. I test the connection and it said the port is open and such.Last night I left up two downloads, when I woke up one of them was done but it showed all the same errors. Now it is seeding and has almost a 1.0 ratio. I just don't get how I can't connect to any trackers but somehow a torrent downloads overnight and seeds to 1.0 with no trackers.So please can someone help me figure out why this is happening??? I have Windows Vista, the newest uTorrent (2.0.4) and have only the Windows firewall on with uTorrent as an exception. Thank you very much for your help.

Switeck Posted September 27, 2010 Report Share Posted September 27, 2010 A tracker could work only "intermittently" and seeds and peers might still get ips of each other from it over the course of 24 hours.A public torrent also has DHT, Local Peer Discovery, and Peer Exchange to keep it "knit together"...so it can lose ALL trackers and still have backup ways to connect peers and seeds.

skilldeadly Posted September 27, 2010 Author Report Share Posted September 27, 2010 Is there a way to fix this? Is it a problem on my end that the torrents aren't connecting to any trackers regardless of the file? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Switeck Posted September 28, 2010 Report Share Posted September 28, 2010 Are they public torrents? DHT, LPD, PEX not disabled in Trackers window/tab?If so, are those working? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
