tronlives Posted November 24, 2013 Report Share Posted November 24, 2013 I have been using utorrent for a long time. In our college torrenting has been blocked.So we use a vpn called spotflux. The college firewall had blocked all access to trackers and peers. However spotflux lets us connect to trackers and peers. For the last two days the trackers have not able to connect and download the peer list even on spotflux. The tackers always show connection timed out, seems like spotflux too has banned the trackers too.However I connected the computer to my mobile phone data and updated the tracker, they updated and got the peer list,I then disconnected my laptop from the mobile data and connected it back to the lan,started spotflux and the torrent was downloaded. As I can not always repeat the whole process again and again to download a torrent. can anyone tell me can we get a peer list from a tracker?If yes how?

tronlives Posted November 24, 2013 Author Report Share Posted November 24, 2013 So you are saying there is NO way I can get a peer list from a tracker? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ciaobaby Posted November 24, 2013 Report Share Posted November 24, 2013 Using your College network .... Probably not! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sneyepr Posted November 24, 2013 Report Share Posted November 24, 2013 Is there any way that a lot of these new peer issues could be related to a recent upgrade by Spotflux? Just wondering as I am having the same issue that many others are having. I have always used Spotflux and uT together without issues until this last week.

ciaobaby Posted November 24, 2013 Report Share Posted November 24, 2013 Who knows, but as uTorrent works when connected, it is not an issue these forume can or will deal with.You need to take the problem to "Spotflux" and/or your college network administrators.

Just wondering as I am having the same issue that many others are having. I have always used Spotflux and uT together without issues until this last week.I doubt its because of spotflux updating their client. I think its because they have blocked the connection to trackers. Yes everyones having the exactly same problem. I tried contacting Spotflux on email and facebook but they did not reply!
