hadiceberg Posted February 27, 2009 Report Share Posted February 27, 2009 Hii've been using utorrent for a while.Sometimes the trackers ending with "*.thepiratebay.org" show this status "A socket operation was attempted to an unreachable network"Some questions:1- Is it firewall related?2- Why is it not happening always?3- Why does it only occurs to thepiratebay trackers? the other trackers of the same torrent are working fine.4- Why sometimes when retrying, it shows "offline (timeout)" instead?uTorrent 1.8.2.14458D-Link 2640T routerKaspersky KIS 7Netlimiter I really don't want to uninstall KIS before assuring this is firewall related as it only happens to specific trackers. (I just disabled Kaspersky Anti-Virus NDIS Filter and stopped the service from computer management).update:I looked up the trackers address in DNS, then added all of its alternative IPs to the list. look what happened!!!As you see some of the IPs are working. it seems a tracker problem to me, ain't it?

hadiceberg Posted February 27, 2009 Author Report Share Posted February 27, 2009 If this is the firewall why is it not happening to all of the IPs of the same trackers?I'm trying a new torrent.As you see it's only happening to thepiratebay!!! Still firewall? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ultima Posted February 27, 2009 Report Share Posted February 27, 2009 The part about "unreachable network" should make that obvious. Just because one IP is reachable doesn't necessarily mean another IP is. And for that matter, AFAIK, TPB's trackers are often unreliable. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
