cosmothecat Posted September 18, 2014 Report Posted September 18, 2014 Hey there, So im pretty new to this forum and im sure this has been a problem that occurs often, but for some reason i cant download at all on utorrent atm. I get to "connecting to peers" and it doesnt get further. I have tried a few things including, 1. Ticking Enable UPnP port mapping 2. Changing protocol encryption to enabled and forced 3. Disabling and re-enabling DHT Im not sure what info will be needed, but i can say the torrent im trying to get currently has many seeders (800+) DHT says "waiting for announce" Local peer discovery, and peer exchange say "waiting" The rest says connection timed out. So yeah thats all i can offer so far, so if anyone knows what to do help would be appreciated! Thank you in advance for the help guys!
cosmothecat Posted September 18, 2014 Author Report Posted September 18, 2014 BTW, i want to add that my ISP is Comcast My operating system is windows 7 And my utorrent is 3.4.2 build (3870)
DreadWingKnight Posted September 18, 2014 Report Posted September 18, 2014 What internet security software do you have installed? Do slackware torrents (from http://slackware.com/getslack/torrents.php ) give the same behavior?
cosmothecat Posted September 18, 2014 Author Report Posted September 18, 2014 I use avast free version. And no after testing slackware and also movies i do not have the same problem. So the only thing that isnt working for me now is games. Every game i have tried in the last 24 hours hasnt worked. On the slackware download i can see that DHT still says waiting for announce. It seems that the connection to the games trackers is what doesnt work.. but that shouldnt be a stable problem between multible downloads and diffrent games right? thanks alot for helping btw!
DreadWingKnight Posted September 18, 2014 Report Posted September 18, 2014 That only answers half of what I asked you.
cosmothecat Posted September 18, 2014 Author Report Posted September 18, 2014 Im confused what do you still need answered? No slackware does not act the same, the download actually works And i use avast and the windows firewall for my internet security
DreadWingKnight Posted September 18, 2014 Report Posted September 18, 2014 Did you disable avast's p2p shield? It's a known problem child.
cosmothecat Posted September 18, 2014 Author Report Posted September 18, 2014 i have now disabled that and it doesnt seem to be make a diffrence. i still have connection timed out on the trackers.
