Torrent downloading metadata 0%

Also, that red indication symbol in the buttom right hand corner in Bittorrent is changed to yellow and saying "No Incomming connections" Any ideas? Unfortunately, don't have any internet security software I bought this laptop day after Christmas and apparently it has the Norton software advertisement that pops up every startup and wants you to sign up a regstation form but, I don't trust Norton and definitely don't trust mcafee.

Anyways, you were right, the firewall needed to be configured. Had to reset the default settings and use recommanded sources and now, bittorrent is working fine again but, not sure if that could be the solution. However, thanks soo much for your help and will let you know if any more issues interfers. Second thought If the availability of the torrent doesn't exceed 0.

That's the thing I cancel out the torrent and tried other ones but, they all consists of the same problem. The availability status contains Red in all the other torrents as well. Also, tried "force start" but, still nothing. Do you think, I need to un-install and re-install bittorrent to see if that will fix anything or do you think it's something about the firewall settings?

Btw, I have windows 7. Also, is there another program that needs to be downloaded along with bittorrent? That won't fix anything. Actually, seems like bittorrent working today. Last night, I choose a torrent with alot of seeders.

However, first it had the same problem with no incoming connections and decided to let it be since it was at Anyways, a few minutes ago It appears to me that, most people could been offline at the time or something or maybe I parked my big rig in a bad section. Anyways, I do appreciate it you helping me. Thank you! Again, I'll let you know if any other issues arises. Hope that you have a great day I'm having this same problem. I don't really know what I'm supposed to do. The build you're using is build with gcc and it has different symbols and I am not sure I'll be able to get the minidump to work with gdb.

I have the same problem with version 4. On three popular torrents with over reported seeds, I was stuck at "downloading metadata" for an hour with no peers or seeds found.

I downloaded Deluge onto the same system and set up my proxy info exactly as I have it in qBittorrent, and it started downloading all torrents immediately. The log doesn't reveal anything interesting as far as I can see; just routine actions such as "torrent added. I'm on 4. I suddenly can't seem to get any to start downloading. Yea no I will just close this, it was a issue.

Skip to content. Star New issue. Jump to bottom. Copy link. It shows many seeds and peers but it is not fetching the torrent file. Both uTorrent and Tixati is able to download the torrent file. Which qbt version and OS are you using? I do not use ipfilter. Can you update to v3. How are you connected to the internet? I am willing to try it.

Hello, I was trying to download a torrent and it appears that something is wrong. It keeps on 'downloading metadata' forever. The text was updated successfully, but these errors were encountered:. Sorry, something went wrong. My version is 3.

I don't know if you can help me here. This is a problem with libtorrent that I am waiting a proper fix from that author. The problem is that itfails for some strange reason to open the UDP port. That's why you have 0 dht nodes and I suspect the logs says that although you didn't copy the whole log. For now the only way to solve it:. After a few seconds you'll start connecting to DHT nodes and magnet links start working again.

I'll update qbt as soon as libtorrent fixes this. What port do you recommend? And thanks for the answer, I was frustrated because I didn't know what was happening. The first change forces libtorrent to try again to open the new port.

While the 2nd one makes it possible to open the original port. So the first try doesn't matter. I did what you said. I had first port then I put one random and click apply, then I switch back to and click ok. Recommended Posts.
