Stopped downloading anything

[Dainisjoe]

Two days ago Utorrent stopped working for me it is not downloading anything, and all torrents have red status.

But when I run connection test it says everything ok. And I have not changed anything in settings.

Can you help me.

See Tracker tab, what's the error message?

[Dainisjoe]

There are two messeges for different torrents either offline (timed out) or conection closed by peer.

[moogly]

Post the tracker list, please.

Same issue with a torrent from OOo?

http://distribution.openoffice.org/p2p/

[Dainisjoe]

http://tracker.thepokerbay.org/announce.php

http://announce.newoutlaw.org/announce.php

For these it is showing Offline (timed out)

http://inferno.demonoid.com:

http://announce.inperil.net/announce.php

For these it is showing Connection closed by peer.

From your given link it is downloading, everything ok, torrent shown ir red Colour but downloading.

[moogly]

NB: Edit your previous message and remove the passkey in the tracker announces, they are private (your tracker account).

And what's your firewall?

[Dainisjoe]

I think Windows XP provided firewall, antivirus I am using Avast.

Hi I have same problem. I have been using the uTorrent for two weeks and I downloaded several files but two days ago I was downloading a file and after 63 percent of the file was downloaded, all actions were freezed. Nothing happened since then. No matter what any link I add from any website has stopped being download. The availability bar became red and the the trackers shows this

I could't figure it out. Can anyone help me Plz.

Yep, as the torrent is public, DHT does the rest to find some peers. And is it the same error message you see for OOo's trackers?

I could't figure it out. Can anyone help me Plz.

Some trackers in your list are working so it's fine. Some ones have temporarily issues or are dead (like TPB).

Dear moogly, what you said is not true in this situation because firstly this file hasn't finished downloading since Tuesday 26th. Yes, it seams that it is an on going download procedure but it is not. And secondly I add another links from different web sites and all of them are in the same situation. I checked my firewall settings, I turned the firewall off but nothing happened. Considering the fact that I had been downloading by this software for nearly two weeks and I didn't make any changes in my preferences or windows settings, I assume that the problem is either because of a virus or because of the utorrent automatic settings or something like that. It would be appreciated if you can find out what the problem is. I will send any information in case of necessity.

Thanks

[moogly]

I read:

http://tracker.tntvillage.scambioetico.org:2710/announce working

udp://tracker.openbittorrent.com:80/announce working

So there are trackers working in your list.

[Ayoob]

It is not working take a look again to this one:

Name Status Update In Seeds Peers Downloaded

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

[Local Peer Discovery] working 0 0 0

[Peer Exchange] working 0 0 0

http://tracker.openbittorrent.com/announce No connection could be made because the target machine actively refused it. 32m 39s 0 0 0

udp://tracker.tntvillage.scambioetico.org:2710/announce Failure: access denied 21m 55s 24 8 N/A

Or this one:

Name Status Update In Seeds Peers Downloaded

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

[Local Peer Discovery] working 0 0 0

[Peer Exchange] working 0 0 0

http://tracker.openbittorrent.com/announce No connection could be made because the target machine actively refused it. 17s 0 0 0

udp://tracker.openbittorrent.com:80/announce updating... 0 0 0

[moogly]

1st step: remove thepiratebay.org announces from the list. TPB trackers are dead for ages now.

2nd step: add http://tracker.publicbt.com:80/announce into the tracker list

Does it work?

[Ayoob]

Nope

nothing happend

[moogly]

http://tracker.publicbt.com:80/announce is working right now so if after having added it, this tracker displays an error message, there is an external issue.

So something is blocking the tracker URLs. Maybe your firewall, your proxy if you're using one or your ISP.

Do you have the green network icon (circle) in the status bar of µT?

[Dainisjoe]

From your given link it is downloading, everything ok, torrent shown ir red Colour but downloading.

Yep, as the torrent is public, DHT does the rest to find some peers. And is it the same error message you see for OOo's trackers?

Connection closed by peer, it is showing.

[Ayoob]

I don't use proxy but I'm using firewall. As I wrote I turned it off but no changes occurred. I know little about the ISP but my other friends who are using the same internet WiFi network here can download torrents without any problem. Is there any way to find out the probable problem in ISP or network?

By the way, there is a yellow triangle in the status bar of uT. I ran the connection test. Here is the result:

Bandwidth results: speed test failed.

connection failed error: A request to send or receive data was disallowed because the socket is ...

Network results: port is not open (you are still able to download).

[moogly]

@Dainisjoe: do you have the green network icon in the status bar?

Are you sure any security program isn't blocking µT? And about your ISP, any changes?

@Ayoob: you have to fix the network icon, check your firewall and the exceptions about µT and the portforwarding rules in your router.

[Dainisjoe]

Yes I have the green circle there.

And I checked many time in setting that utorrent was added to exception list of firewall.

The last sentence i did not understand what is that?

And in trackers tab it showing for all trackers:

DHT - not allowed

Local peer discovery - not allowed

Peer exchange - not allowed

I have a similar problem that also started two days ago. No new programs installed, no configuration changed. Reinstall (while keeping options) did not help, neither did turning the firewall completely off.

Once i start uTorrent, it starts downloading but during the next couple of minutes the download and upload speed gradually drop to zero. The connection seems to be completely blocked by uTorrent, to the point that i was even having trouble accessing my home routers web interface, getting only a part of the page as the request times out.

Once i shut uTorrent down, everything goes back to normal.

I tried running the test (ctrl+g) and the bandwidth part failed while the network part checked out.

I am trying to use bittorrent 7.1 from a new residence (connected wirelessly to a netopia router) -- nothing will download, availabilty is a solid red bar , there are seeds and peers for the file I want , under trackers the only one working is publicbit.com/announce but I cant get anything... please help if possible -- thanks very much

[golfjiujitsu]

also when I run tests (no green circle) the bandwidth test times out (10060) , the port test says that it is properly configured.

[zombywuff]

Same problem here. I have 4 torrents stuck in queue, and no active torrents. Three of the torrents are partially downloaded and stuck in queue. 17 torrents are completed and seeding but not active, as I stated.

[Dainisjoe]

Can someone help us?

I'm having the same issue here, started this week. Reinstalling doesn't rectified the issue. It starts downloading but dip to zero over a few minutes. Though I have no trouble accessing my home router's web interface.
