BitTorrent not downloading anymore. Anyone know why?

Question

I had no problems in downloading until last night. BitTorrrent just stopped downloading even though trackers were connected and also plenty of seeds and peers available.

The above is what I found on the logger. My internet works fine but just the torrents are just not downloading.

I even tried reinstalling BitTorrent and it didn't help. I also tried tixati and vuze but all have the same problem.

Please help!!

Answer 1

hi camel201, i used uterrent and i too had the errors you are talking about so i came to the dicision that i really didn't need bit torrent. if i wanted to complicate my life i would go back to my ex wife so i don't need the hassel. i tried to fix it to where i did not get these errors i still got them so it is totally up to you but i think it is not what it is cracked up to be. what i think is at first it works great but then after the drivers get aquainted there is the errors so that is the way it looks to me anyway. good luck hope i was helpful to you

Answer 2

It's likely that your ISP has blocked torrent downloads, or at least restricted them to only one port, which is a huge bottleneck.

Answer 3

why don't you try another torrent program, i use utorrent and it's working ok so far.
