JohnWW Posted December 31, 2011 Report Share Posted December 31, 2011 That sounds very much like the problem that I now have. In the last few days, I have noticed a serious problem when trying to download anything at all on Torrent, at least using uTorrent 3.0 with Windows XP which have previously worked well for some time. It has progressively become virtually impossible to download anything that uses only HTTP trackers, including and especially http://inferno.demonoid.me[port]/announce trackers because only a few Demonoid torrents have also other (non-Demonoid) trackers or allow DHT or Peer Exchange or Local Peer Discovery. As the result, I now find that I can download practically ONLY those Torrent downloads that are not "private", i.e. those that allow DHT and/or Peer Exchange and/or Local Peer Discovery, as only they now allow connection to seeders and peers. However, I can connect to just a few UDP trackers. Almost without exception, when my computer tries to connect to a HTTP tracker, including Demonoid ones, it shows this message in the "Trackers" tab: "Proxy connect error: No connection could be made because the target machine actively refused it".I have tried lots of connection and "advanced" setting changes, including using both direct and proxy connections, and changing port numbers, along with changing my IP address by rebooting my DSL modem, and rebooting my computer and shutting down other programs, without success. I am beginning to suspect that most HTTP trackers, including Demonoid's, are blacklisting or banning whole ranges of IP addresses corresponding to those of entire countries including mine (New Zealand) and/or known proxy-servers, because someone I know in the USA also using uTorrent 3 has not reported this problem, or else they have introduced bans based on numbers of connection attempts or volumes of data downloaded.Can anyone please suggest what has gone wrong, and how to fix or bypass the problem? Thanks in advance. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brod Posted December 31, 2011 Author Report Share Posted December 31, 2011 I think you may have a different problem John. I am able to connect to both HTTP and UDP trackers with no issues. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DreadWingKnight Posted December 31, 2011 Report Share Posted December 31, 2011 No "May" about it john, STOP THREAD HIJACKING, YOUR ISSUE IS NOT THE SAME. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DreadWingKnight Posted December 31, 2011 Report Share Posted December 31, 2011 In fact, your issue is not only not the same, it's also not an issue with uTorrent. It's PURELY an issue with demonoid. Go pester them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JohnWW Posted December 31, 2011 Report Share Posted December 31, 2011 DreadWingKnight: The problem that I have is NOT just an issue with Demonoid. It affects ALL HTTP trackers, and in consequence all tracker sites which use only HTTP trackers and do not also use UDP and DHT/Peer-Discovery.

DreadWingKnight Posted December 31, 2011 Report Share Posted December 31, 2011 It still doesn't change the fact that it has ABSOLUTELY NOTHING TO DO WITH THE ORIGINAL POST IN THIS THREAD.Hijack another thread and you WILL be banned. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brod Posted January 1, 2012 Author Report Share Posted January 1, 2012 I should probably add that my other port forwarding settings appear to work perfectly for my Xbox 360, Playstation 3 and Wii. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brod Posted January 2, 2012 Author Report Share Posted January 2, 2012 I have placed my computer in the router's DMZ to no effect.I have tried everything I can think of and the only thing that comes to mind that could explain this is that my ISP is blocking incoming TCP connections, either for all ports/applications or for P2P specifically.
