philziegs Posted November 16, 2014 Report Share Posted November 16, 2014 Have used Utorrent for last couple of years with no issues and great satisfaction. A week ago started to have bug issues with some downloads staying at "Connecting to peers" status and never downloading. Now all downloads I attempt get stuck on "Connecting to Peers" on the availibility bar is solid red. Before I get the most obvious replies PLEASE NOTE : -I have no firewall-I have tested my port and it is open-I have tried other download files-All Files I have downloading have wayyyy more seeders than leechers (by more than 30:1 ratio)-I have most up to date UtorrentPlus-I have tested my speeds on speedtest.net PLEASE HELP THIS IS REALLY ANNOYING Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DreadWingKnight Posted November 16, 2014 Report Share Posted November 16, 2014 You have NOT provided the tracker status from the trackers tab. You have NOT tested with known-working torrents like slackware. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
schnurlos Posted November 16, 2014 Report Share Posted November 16, 2014 As I had a similar problem last week (torrent was not able to be restarted after it was manually stopped by me) I managed that in this way:Use the tray icon with rightclick and stop all torrents, after a while restart all them (also using the right click tray icon method).Seems like there "could" be a problem with one build on the way of the betas/stables in the last while.

DreadWingKnight Posted November 17, 2014 Report Share Posted November 17, 2014 Telltale signs of either proxy settings or internet security software not playing nice. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
philziegs Posted November 19, 2014 Author Report Share Posted November 19, 2014 I am not using a proxy though, and my internet security is almost none existent on the computer I use for downloading....it is even more bizarre that it worked perfectly for 2 years and then all of a sudden stopped Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DreadWingKnight Posted November 19, 2014 Report Share Posted November 19, 2014 Then what changed? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tangled Posted November 19, 2014 Report Share Posted November 19, 2014 I'm having the same issue. Constant connecting to peers, and trackers say the same. I have no idea what has changed. It worked fine for me a few days ago. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JimMes Posted November 20, 2014 Report Share Posted November 20, 2014 I am also having the same problem, it worked fine a week ago, nothing on my computer has changed that I know of. I un-installed and then re-installed and still it will not work.HELP! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
philziegs Posted November 23, 2014 Author Report Share Posted November 23, 2014 Then what changed?Nothing, thats my problem, if i leave it for a few days sometimes the torrent will magically download at some point but its sporadic at the best, as both "tangled" and "JimMes" stated they are having the same issue it is obviously not just me.

mike20021969 Posted November 23, 2014 Report Share Posted November 23, 2014 DHT - waiting for announcement I suddenly got this same message out of the blue just over a week ago.For me, it turned out a PeerBlock list update now included the following entry which I had to permanently allow (after restarting μTorrent, DHT worked again).

DreadWingKnight Posted November 23, 2014 Report Share Posted November 23, 2014 Yet more proof that the blocklist providers can't really be trusted. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JimMes Posted November 25, 2014 Report Share Posted November 25, 2014 I had my Computer Tech guy (a network administrator for a large company) check my problem out, he checked all the ports, firewalls and settings, we even disabled the firewall and still it will not work. My Computer Tech has always been able to resolve my problems but this one has left him dumbfounded. Still stuck Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DreadWingKnight Posted November 25, 2014 Report Share Posted November 25, 2014 What firewall? what tracker status? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
philziegs Posted November 27, 2014 Author Report Share Posted November 27, 2014 still no answer on how to fix this obnoxious issue.....it feels like there is no solution and there is no one that cares other than us poor buggers having this issue.

drizzle Posted November 30, 2014 Report Share Posted November 30, 2014 Been having this problem as well.Poked at it some today, and discovered something interesting... UDP: utorrent can't talk to tracker.openbittorent.comICMP: ping & tracert can't talk to tracker.openbittorent.comTCP: tcping *CAN* talk to tracker.openbittorent.com This machine is dedicated to utorrent, ed2k, and a few other applications, has no 'security' software running, has no firewall running, has all auto-updates disabled, has no peer blocklist, has had NO changes for months (at least). Similar problem with tracker.publicbt.com, however tcping also fails (but they may not have tcp port 80 open). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
