A torrent Tracker is responsible for keeping an updated list of peers sharing the file. Your torrent client should update the tracker periodically, but sometimes it gets stuck.
Here in the USA, most of the major Internet Service Providers have been caught throttling traffic at one time or another. And BitTorrent traffic is frequently targeted for throttling. The result is slow, unreliable torrent downloads. And throttling is way more common than most people realize.
How to fix: The only solution is to encrypt your torrent traffic. The best method is with a torrent-friendly VPN. Some people have also reported success with the weaker in-client protocol encryption free. Real-time Antivirus programs can sometimes flag Bittorrent connections, often without alerting you. How to fix: Turn off your antivirus shields temporarily. Then restart your torrent client and see if the file downloads. The three most common are:.
David started torrenting before it was cool. He enjoys hiking, strategy games and eats watermelon year round. He still rocks his Napster t-shirt once a month. Save my name, email, and website in this browser for the next time I comment. David Barnes. By abh , March 22, in Troubleshooting. The torrent s are typically healthy, usually from private trackers. My ports are open, when running tests on the setup guide my network is open and fine. I have windows firewall on, but there are exemptions there and it has never blocked uTorrent before.
In fact, some of the torrents that I was seeding without issues a few days back and are still healthy in terms of seeders:leechers won't seed today for some reason. I'm not sure what else to do and would appreciate any help. Not sure why suddenly I can't upload anything. Let me know if you need other info. Private tracker torrents typically have a chronic overseeding problem making it difficult to upload with.
I don't think it should be an overseeding issue in this case, although I do agree with you about that being an issue on private trackers. Though, one of the torrents I've tried seeding was showing about seeders and peers at the moment. A few days back when I was seeding fine, this same torrent had a similar ratio of seeders to peers. I have at least like torrents with similar ratios that worked before, but do not any longer and also a couple new ones from different trackers too.
So I'm thinking it's more likely something on my end, rather than the torrents. Thanks for the quick response btw! What are the "X of Y Z in swarm " numbers for peers and seeds on the general tab for that torrent? While you are right, it still seems strange that I have four torrents up at the moment with peers in swarm between them and that I am constantly connecting to them and then they disconnect immediately, and I am not uploading at all except an occasional 0.
Last night I managed to connect to 1 peer and upload for like 5 minutes maybe, but then it stopped. Also the number of peers I was connected to wasn't changing as fast as it is right now. If my isp was interfering, what steps could I take to find out if that's the case or to get around it?
Also, is it likely an isp issue if usually I don't have this problem? I am with Comcast and am experiencing the same problem Torrents that I seed I am the original seeder usually work overnight but slow to a crawl during the day and refuse to connect to any additional incoming connections with the same errors showing up in the log.
Once a peer disconnects thats it. Problem is that once they stop accepting connections it seems this remains even the next night. There are plenty of people leaching I just cant connect. Is there any kind of way around this??? I hope someone can help; I have found it impossible to maintain a good ratio on the site becuase it is thinly traded and total downloads per torrent may only be 12 or so. Again, this happens on one site only for me. I've noticed to same issue with my connection.
I have Cox in San Diego and have just noticed this happening in the last view months. I've also noticed that while I'm downloading, my upload is normal and it's not until the torrent goes into seed mode does it come to a halt. I've found myself capping my download below my upload in order to ensure a decent ratio.
I only use torrents provided by private communities that I have been using for years and constantly update trackers. I suspect this is a relatively new technique deployed by our ISP's to prevent over usage of bandwidth.
I'd also like to add I received an email from Cox shortly prior to my knowledge of this issue. The email was informing me I had excessive bandwidth usage and I was nearing my monthly bandwidth allowance.
Since then I have upgraded my connection speed to directly increase how much data I am allotted to transfer. I have this same issue in 3. I am using public trackers and have 4 torrents up with low seeds and plenty of leechers but I can't get or maintain even one upload connection.
My ISP is not interfering as far as I can tell. I see them flash across the peers list for a second or two and they disappear.
The network OK green light keeps toggling between that and a warning that I have no incoming connections. The test says the port is open and the network is configured properly. I installed Vuze and configured it to use the same port as uT and on the very same torrents it seeds at very respectable speeds - after accepting over incoming connections for the 4 torrents I am trying to seed. In windows 7.
I am downloading torrents from Dimeadozen. My uploading used to be stronger and almost continuous.
