Torrent wont download with seeds
Incidentally, I added a torrent around 4 hours ago. I've been keeping an eye on it and the tracker status has been continually "Working" for that time. In the past I've occasionally noticed if a torrent has multiple trackers one or more may time out, but never them all.
Disable your proxy. Then try with a Slackware torrent. The other issue it is not just the proxy enabled there are a bunch of other features enabled for privacy along with proxy. Yes, lower it to a speed where the "Connection timed out" would have shown by. The ETA column will, of course, assist in how long the download will take for a set speed. You can download Slackware with your proxy enabled if you wish. If you get a "Connection timed out", I'd guess the proxy is guilty I might be completely wrong though.
It seems to have worked. How long will this work though? Once you're satisfied everything is working as it should, then you can delete those 2 files you moved - it's not like they're HDD space hoggers.
Each should only be around Thanks for your help. It seems to be solved. If not I will just repeat at every failure. Now to fix the new problem. Windows randomly stopping recognizing my external hd. I'm back with the findings, settings reset didn't help much.
BUT I found something interesting Slackware has been downloading second day without any issues through the proxy. However, rarbg tracker still has Connection timed out issues.
I found this old thread but there was no solution. Slackware has been downloading second day without any issues through the proxy. Does rarbg have "Connection timed out" without the proxy? I'm guessing your proxy is the cause. I will test, but I will assume it is working without proxy for now. How can it be a proxy issue if when I update just UPnP preferences I can connect with no issues for some time? I suspect some UDP protocol configuration in uTorrent itself is fishy to keep the connection alive through a proxy.
I'm sure there'd be hundreds and hundreds of similar threads if uTorrent was at fault. I did that, surprisingly most torrent clients have the same codebase or using the same libraries I guess. Start new topic. Prev 1 2 Next Page 1 of 2. Sorry, something went wrong.
I set max queue and I have everything paused and still those torrent with seeds and peers are not downloading at all. Do you have enable UPnP on your router? Yes, I have port mapping, I also add port forwarding in router settings and I have successful mapping message. However not all torrents have this issue, you can see some of my torrent do have progress, those that stuck at I see. There are many reasons why the torrent not downloading Stalled For my 1st torrent, there is bracket under seeds, does it means there are seeds that I can potentially connect to?
If so, why am I not connecting to them? The number 3 not in bracket under seeds shows I am connected to 3 seeds? But why all my Peers connection shows 0 progress and nothing is downloading?
Yes, you can connect to this seeders if peer and seeder's network doesn't sucks. Some of the configurations of uTorrent will interfere with your internet connection, thus causing the uTorrent not downloading issues. Here is how to fix it:. This can check if this issue is related to a network problem. If all of these fail to solve your problem, then the problem might be your torrent file — dead torrent no Seeds. Because uTorrent downloading is based on Peers to Peers connection downloading files from other computers , the seeds decrease and the Torrent file becomes dead and impossible to download.
You can search for an alternative torrent file with more seeds in one of these Torrent Websites:. Did the fixes above solve your uTorrent not downloading? Hopefully, uTorrent is working like a charm now. Feel free to leave a comment if you have further questions or suggestions. Via is a technical writer for Driver Easy and an avid reader in daily life.
