Alexpuddy Posted April 15, 2014 Report Share Posted April 15, 2014 Hey there Utorrent community. I have been trying to download South Park The Stick of Truth over the past two days, but unfortunately it is not working. I have checked online for solutions but to no avail.My tracker status reads:[DHT] - working[Local Peer Discovery] - working[Peer Exchange] - workingudp://tracker.istole.it:80/announce - Connection timed out.udp://tracker.ccc.de:80 - Connection timed out.udp://tracker.publicbt.com:80 - Connection timed out.udp://open.demonii.com:1337 - Connection timed out.udp://tracker.openbittorrent.com:80 - Connection timed out. My firewall is not blocking Utorrent in any way and I have uninstalled my internet security program (Mostly because it expired today). Also, I tried installing http://www.slackware.com/getslack/torrents.php And that worked peerfectly. What can I do to fix this issue? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DreadWingKnight Posted April 15, 2014 Report Share Posted April 15, 2014 With slackware working, chances are you need to choose your torrents better. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vemrsven Posted April 15, 2014 Report Share Posted April 15, 2014 It seems many are having a similar problem, as do I. But i am having problems with slackware as well, but only sometimes. It is very irregular. Same with other torrents, sometimes they can sit for hours/days connecting to peers, and sometimes they almost download straight away! I have even tried going back to an old version of utorrent, that did not fix the problem, i used other torrent clients, same problem... I would think it was the router but i have another computer on the same network running utorrent perfectly (same versions, same version of windows etc.)! I don't doubt the problem is on my computer, some setting out of place, but what?So does anyone have a clue what i could try? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Firon Posted April 16, 2014 Report Share Posted April 16, 2014 1) don't pirate2) you can't download a torrent if there's no peers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
malbird Posted April 16, 2014 Report Share Posted April 16, 2014 I'm experiening something similar. I am able to download from the pirate bay, but when I try to download torrents from the site I use regularly (ILT) it just says connecting to peers and will not allow me to download. I haven't had this issue until I upgraded my uTorrent. What do you guys think? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vemrsven Posted April 16, 2014 Report Share Posted April 16, 2014 As stated earlier, works perfect on other pc, always! I can start Slackware on both pc:s simultaneously and it works on one and while the other stay on connecting to peers. So that means there are peers.

Alexpuddy Posted April 17, 2014 Author Report Share Posted April 17, 2014 Nevermind. I found the issue. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
yuppicide0138 Posted April 18, 2014 Report Share Posted April 18, 2014 Could you explain what the fix was? I have this same problem. I just want to watch TV shows on my computer, and there's plenty of seeders. Most of my torrents say Connecting to Peers and never connect. If they do manage to connect they download at like 2.5kb/sec.. I'm on a 50Mbps cable speed. Every other piece of software/websites load quick. I have Windows 7 Pro 64-Bit, was using the latest uTorrent, but rolled back to 3.3.2 with no luck. I have a Moto SB6141 cable modem, D-Link DIR-825 router, and I'm on ethernet about 2 or 3 feet away. PS - one thing I noticed is, if one of the torrents starts and it's running slow, sometimes getting a second torrent to start will jumpstart the speed in the first one. It's pretty random, though, and getting a torrent to start is hard because most stuck at connecting to peers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mbutler326 Posted April 18, 2014 Report Share Posted April 18, 2014 Was having this same problem. Read on another forum to right-click the torrent and click 'update tracker.' Worked for me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Factionite Posted April 18, 2014 Report Share Posted April 18, 2014 I've done everything above and even tested my connection for traffic shapping at http://broadband.mpi-sws.org/transparency/glasnost.php, but I still haven't figured it out yet. I'm using windows 8.1 on build 3.4.1(30833). Everything says either Connecting to Peers or Finding Peers. I haven't got anythign to download over the last few weeks. I've played around with DHT turning it on/off, reinstalling the application, turning off firewall, changing the ports, setup a proxy, tried several reliable torrent's that i knew had several hundred seeder's but nothing is working. I feel like this is a bug or maybe traffic shapping that perhaps glasnost didn't catch. If anyone find's a solution to this let me know. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ZombieDbear Posted April 19, 2014 Report Share Posted April 19, 2014 Factionite, I am having the same problem. Only two of the four sites that I use are allowing me to seed. It will not allow me to download anything new from those sites. I had to use a back up torrent downloader, until Utorrent can address and fix the problem. Tried to "update tracker" with negative results. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DreadWingKnight Posted April 19, 2014 Report Share Posted April 19, 2014 You're getting a site-specific error message. You'd need to contact the site you get your torrents from for support. Note: ILT has a history of making decisions that are not actually good for torrenting. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

iLikePandas Posted May 13, 2014 Report Share Posted May 13, 2014 Hello. I've been having similar issues as above users have mentioned. I have used uTorrent for a few years now and this issue started a couple days ago. I have enabled/allowed uTorrent thru my firewall, turned off AVG, uninstalled/reinstalled uTorrent, turned off DHT/re-enabled it, ran as admin. I'm lost as to what to do next. Here is my screenshot... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DreadWingKnight Posted May 13, 2014 Report Share Posted May 13, 2014 So you have something blatantly blocking uTorrent. What AVG variant is it you have installed? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
iLikePandas Posted May 13, 2014 Report Share Posted May 13, 2014 AVG 2014. Installed components include: AVG Advisor, Anti-Rootkit, Anti-Spyware, AntiVirus, Identity Protection, PC Analyzer, Resident Shield, and Surf-Shield. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
