jetman Posted September 23, 2013 Report Share Posted September 23, 2013 I've been a long-term (and very happy) uT user. I've routinely d/l'd GBs/day via uT for several years. However, I recently tried to d/l several torrents from LinuxTracker and found no joy. uT actually loads the torrent file, but every torrent I've tried reports "An attempt was made to access a socket in a way forbidden by its access permissions" in the status column. Every torrent. On the couple of rare occasions I've seen this msg in the past, it had to do w/ no permission to access a torrent from a private tracker, fixed by logging into the tracker. For the record, I do have an account on LinuxTracker and was logged in during my attempts.This isn't a distress call, as I've already retrieved the desired files via FTP. I would like to use this site as it helps to promote Linux by sharing my bandwidth within the community, but have no clue as to why only this site fails for me.Suggestions are welcome and thanks in advance for the use of the brain cells...

rafi Posted September 23, 2013 Report Share Posted September 23, 2013 Did you try this with the latest 3.3.2 stable/RC? Even if it is a real issue, you do not really expect the devs to fix it in 2.2, right? ... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ciaobaby Posted September 23, 2013 Report Share Posted September 23, 2013 LinuxTrackers have been 'down' for several weeksI run several Centos and Mint torrents and if you load up some more recent distros such as:http://torrents.linuxmint.com/torrents/linuxmint-15-xfce-dvd-64bit.iso.torrentorhttp://mirror.centos.org/centos/6.4/isos/i386/CentOS-6.4-i386-bin-DVD1to2.torrentYou will find they have been removed.
