hotflashes.unzip Posted October 16, 2012 Report Share Posted October 16, 2012 I used utorrent 6 mos ago and had no issues nor did I have to do any special configurations. Since then I had to replace my PC. I downloaded it the other day and have had the issue I stated in the subject ever since. I've tried port forwarding, checked UDP and DHT enabled, and tried using utorrent without my VPN...to no avail. Also tried different countries (currently a Berlin IP). Speed test...DL/UL SPEEDS 6.92/4.37 Mbps.I have encountered other people having the same problem and tried everything they suggested... from what I could tell they either didn't solve it or they did and didn't post the solution. Of course most of these were from 2 years ago so hopefully someones brilliant wisdom may be able to alleviate some mega frustration...lol. Thanks,Karma*edit: oh and I forgot to say I uninstalled my antivirus program, and checked for exceptions in firewall. I also turned off peer block... and noticed something the other day when I tried to uninstall to reinstall. Its not actually installed the way it is on a tutorial I saw where he downloaded it and "setup" started. I just have an .exe. would that make a difference?

hotflashes.unzip Posted October 16, 2012 Author Report Share Posted October 16, 2012 Thank you for your response, but I should have said that was the first thing I checked and I've tried 7 separate things I've been trying to DL. And from TPB, AND h33t.com, and 2 other sites. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DreadWingKnight Posted October 16, 2012 Report Share Posted October 16, 2012 Enable the trackers tab and show the tracker status. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ciaobaby Posted October 16, 2012 Report Share Posted October 16, 2012 Torrent sites only report information from trackers, it may or may not be current or anywhere close to accurate. The peers your client can connect to and report is what counts. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DreadWingKnight Posted October 23, 2012 Report Share Posted October 23, 2012 Don't thread hijack, you just caused the original poster to lose their thread. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DreadWingKnight Posted October 23, 2012 Report Share Posted October 23, 2012 Iris, you cost the original poster their thread because:1> Not the same issue, original poster is using public sites2> You didn't provide enough information to troubleshoot.3> You didn't actually provide the information requested of the original poster.If you have a problem with this, tough. Your "extensive research" failed to even provide the basic information requested in this thread.Abuse the report system again and you WILL be banned.
