Just because someone didn't know about the cables getting cut doesn't make them an idiot, so cut the bashing out.

Hi,

hi retah

first of all thanks soooooo much.I m realy realxed at least some body cofirmed that its cable problem however i know about cable problem.I was looking for confirmtion from other side of u.a.e that u did for me.Have sweet dreams.thanks.

Any way many many thanks to you ((Retah)) and my regards and thanks to ((Ultima)) for raising the voice.

Hi

I am new to uae and to utorrent. Unluckily i started on it and was totally frustrated when i read that it may work if i wait for a few days. Great.

But would i still be needed to go for a static IP add? Portforwarding test shows error. even the network status icon doesnot show up.

Does etisalat provide static ip address free of cost/ or else, what is the process of obtaining it?

Thanks

Hi,

I have same problem as all others in u.a.e why with us only.first of all the good site's in u.a.e r block.so just download from

utorrent.now that is also not working........... wat the big f##k

Hello all. This cable problem is affecting the ISP in Kuwait as well as all the countries east of the Mediterranian sea all the way to the Indian subcontinent. I think there is more to it than just a ship anchoring and hiting the cable in the middle of no where !! like hiting shooting a hand gun and accidentally killing a lobster ! what a lucky shot, or shall I say waht an unlucky anchor. Please get real.

I am also in UAE.

And was able to download nomrally untill 24 Dec.

But after that all the torrents are not able to conncet to any peer or seeds.

availablity is showing Red and download arrows are turned red.

Is any body now able to download ? please update. ..

Otherwise internet is working fine.

I have tried to change all the settings but nothing worked out

Is any body have updates about situaltion and when will be restored back.

i have been using torrent for a long time in the UAE and never had this problem. it's been about a week now that i cannot connect to any peers by any client. i have changed ports and anything you could think of. it seems they have done something. please update

Update what?

Without knowing what happened to your line and if/how your ISP is interfering, a random change to "combat" that will likely just make things worse.

What hardware is your ISP using to cripple the line?

Does wireshark show RST packets where they don't belong?

Do peers/seeds even connect briefly?

Is uTorrent even showing connection attempts in logger?

I am also from UAE and have the same problem since 24 Dec.

But one of my friends is still able to download at 58kb/s with Bitlord.

surprisingly!!

Switeck,

No peer/seeds are connected

Logger tab is only showing "IPv6 is intalled"

In tracker status status it is showing

"Connection closed by peer" or "offline (timed out)"

I have tried also everything but not able to download.

I have tried with bit torrent also but nothing happening.

Otherwise internet is working normally

Regards.

hi, need help, file was downloading fine then at about 99.4% it went to 0.0 in the download speed but it's still has upload speed the file is still downloading but has not moved from 99.4% in about 4 hours, i tried pausing it then restarting it,tried diffent speeds for downloading nothing.

Unless you have a file/media indexer running on your computer that's corrupting your torrent files, there's probably nothing you can do.

The source for that torrent probably doesn't have more than 99.4% either.

Did you check availability and/or what percentage other peers were at?

i have been facing the same issues since last week

utorrent completely stopped responding. weneva i start utorrent it shows DHT: 0 nodes (login) after couple of seconds it shows Waiting to log in and my torrents turn red and trackers go offline.

limewire pro is also not working since last week. both the softwares were working before but now its just not working.

Please anybody help.

It is compleltely out of mind.

what to do now ?

Any clue about any other torrent download site which is working in UAE.

I have observed that youtube site is also not opening from few days. Any body observed this ?

Anoop

Yo Guys/Gals

This problem is indeed with the cables

Officials say the cables will be up and running by 30 dec

Just Keep your torrents on download try the coming days

Yes Youtube is also not opening...its as if the servers disappeared from the internet

al of this started on the 19th of december (friday) The same day the cables were cut

here are the symptoms to this problem:

No Downloads (only Seeding in completed downloads)

DHT: waiting to log in...

DHT: login (0 nodes)

Ports are forwarded fine

Internet is accessible yet no ų download speed

Since all are having this prob its nothing to worry about

(the timing is so unlucky as it chrismas and are winter holidays and we cant even download movies from axxo)

Cherioo

(wish y'all a merry Chrimas and a happy new year)

Internet cables to your area may still be down.

They may be letting low-bandwidth stuff through back-up cables but blocking torrents and youtube.

I live in dubai and ofcoz I had this "connection closed by peer" error since the day the cables broke but for the X-mas and the weekend i was @ abu dhabi and the torrents seems to work just fine there. I was DL @ full speed 4 3days while I was there.

Now i'm back in dubai and the torrents are still dead here. If it is the cables y is it working in abu dhabi ?

Any idea guys...

So everybody is facing same problem,

So happy holidays.

Anoop

Good News....Its BACK

Up n running....

I've got 10GB of data downloading at Full Speed

Fixed somewhere between 10 pm and 1 am today

(I stay up a LOT)

Man I was jumping around the house when i saw my router light blinking rapidly(which indicates heavy activity) and i checked utorrent

Cherioo

^ dude its back?!? are you in dubai or abu dhabi? i'm from dubai and still all torrents are offline(timed out).
