jeanniew Posted March 13, 2013 Report Share Posted March 13, 2013 Status keeps coming up as "connecting to peers". As I watch the "peers" window, uTorrent appears to be seeing me as the only peer, so it immediately disconnects again. This happened very suddenly, and its happening with both old and new downloads. Did I somehow change a setting? Why is it not seeing any other peers to download from? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe there aren't any.uTorrent appears to be seeing me as the only peer, so it immediately disconnects again.If UTP is on they do that occasionally.

jeanniew Posted March 13, 2013 Author Report Share Posted March 13, 2013 Well, I know I had other peers before, as some of my files were partially downloaded before this started happening. Most of the files were relatively new with many peers when added... unless I'm misunderstanding. I believe a peer and seeder is basically the same thing. Although I don't understand how this really works, I've been downloading with torrents for several years with no problem.I looked up UTP in the help menu, and this is beyond my understanding. I know I've never messed with those features. Wondering if this is just one of those odd software glitches that can occur? Perhaps my best bet is to uninstall uTorrent, delete those files, and start anew? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jeanniew Posted March 15, 2013 Author Report Share Posted March 15, 2013 There are no "problem" jobs... none of them are working.It sometimes tells me its downloading, sometimes connecting to peers.Using uTorrent 3.3 (build 29126) 32 bitHealth/Down Speed/Up Speed etc are all blank, except for a second or two every once in a while, at which points it shows my computer under peers.Tried Torch to get torrents downloaded, and I'm getting the same response... nothing.Checked my firewall, and uTorrent and Torch are both allowed.Can't figure out how to add images to forum, so here it is:BandwidthMax upload rate 0Max download rate 0apply rate limit to transport overhead checkedapply rate limit to utp connections checkedglobal number of connections 200max number of connected peers per torrent 50number of upload slots per torrent 4Use additional upload slots.... checkedQueueingMax number of active torrents 8Max number of active downloads 5Seeding goal-- minimum ratio 150 Min seeding time 0 Min number of available seeds 0 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ciaobaby Posted March 15, 2013 Report Share Posted March 15, 2013 Have you tested with a torrent that is well seeded?http://slackware.com/torrents/For images use the [ IMG ]URL goes here [ /URL] button to add the URL of the image into a post.

jeanniew Posted March 15, 2013 Author Report Share Posted March 15, 2013 All of them (approx 20) are very well-seeded. I usually pick torrents with 50 or more seeds. All are within the last couple weeks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
