Stuck at Finding Peers


Lozenge

Recommended Posts

Having the same issue since today on all torrents I tried (including torrents like LibreOffice).

Port is forwarded correctly (I double checked it's accessible)

 

This is from the Thom Yorke - Tomorrow's Modern Boxes (2014) [MP3 @ 320 KBPS] torrent (utorrent sponsored)

On my case, none. Only built in Windows defender and firewall are installed.

 

Edit:

I have no idea if this is related but the current version is buggy, stop button doesn't work.

 

Edit 2:

It just started to work on its own so I guess there was a network problem on the ISP side.

I've made some tests before it worked though, so I would share the results anyway.

I used some python scripts to test the Thom Yorke torrent and openbittorrent tracker as an example.

While µTorrent simply shows "Connection timed out" with 0 seeds and peers my scrape test resulted in immediate response of {'peers': 181, 'seeds': 2221, 'complete': 10}}.

I also tested announce which resulted in just two peers 213.57.19.146:0 and 213.57.67.252:0 (ISP proxies?).

I have no idea why µTorrent gave different results (I used Wireshark and saw the requests sent but there were no responses).

I'm in India and I'm facing the same problem for two of my torrents. I'm running the latest version 3.4.2 and my firewall is disabled and I don't have any anti-virus installed in my PC.

 

Here is the tracker info for one of the torrents that aren't working:

Was reading the uTorrent Best Practices thread on this forum and tried the following:

 

1. Exit uTorrent, make sure it's not running in the Task Manager

2. Press Win key + R to open the run program.

3. Type %appdata%\uTorrent

4. Delete settings.dat but make sure you create a backup somewhere else

5. Download the file from here (https://docs.google.com/open?id=0B1fLVXA8Va91Q3RTQkttWk05a1k) rename it "settings.dat" and place it in the above mentioned folder.

 

Doing so worked for me although I don't know why the problem started in the first place. Try it guys.
