johndoe3815 Posted April 8, 2013 Report Share Posted April 8, 2013 I recently downloaded uTorrent and so I am still trying to figure it all out but I seem to be having trouble downloading from Pirate Bay. I normally use BitComet and have no problem using it except for some minor things. What I like to know is why I can download torrents from other sites but when I try to download them from Pirate Bay it never seems tio start the download or find any peers or seeders even though there are hundreds if not thousands.Ken Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DreadWingKnight Posted April 8, 2013 Report Share Posted April 8, 2013 Any tracker in a torrent with "thepiratebay.org" in the address won't work. They shut them down (thepiratebay did). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MazzaM Posted April 15, 2013 Report Share Posted April 15, 2013 What have I done wrong? Nothing will download. Help please Connect to the Internet first.Well, thank you for that clever response. I don't know what happened but suddenly everything is working as normal. As nothing was touched or changed from my side, I can only assume that it was a glitch in the program that has now been fixed.

ciaobaby Posted April 17, 2013 Report Share Posted April 17, 2013 but being new to this I had no idea what to say. What is client version and build?There are pinned/stickied threads in every forum section specifically for the most common questions, how to ask the right question and what information to provide. Reading them first would probably answer your question WITHOUT you having to wait for a reply. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
