Announce failed: tracker didn't respond
« on: November 25, 2009, 06:54:11 AM »
I'm using Transmission 1.76 on OS X 10.6. I'm trying to download this torrent. and I get 0 peers/seeders. When I check the torrent information, I see "Announce failed: tracker did not respond." I've got about half of this torrent downloaded, so it obviously worked a few days ago. But ever since I went to resume it, it hasn't picked up any peers/seeders.

I've tried changing my torrent key and redownloading the torrent file (even though I have no reason to believe the key was bad). My ratio is pretty good (> 1). Any ideas?

Edit: ...and now it's working. I don't even understand that a little bit. Disregard; thanks anyway!

I've had a few problems with Transmission doing the same on me as well (on OSX 10.5 and 10.6). It always clears itself up, but its annoying as hell

I'm reporting here because I had the same problem with Transmission 1.76. Moreover I get the same error message when using rtorrent 0.8.6.
I don't know if the problem will solve itself, since I'm using rtorrent only since today.

Another (possible) bug in Transmission 1.76 is that (for me) it doesn't report stats properly to the tracker. With rtorrent this seems fixed now, but the announce problem still exists.

Hmm, I haven't had this issue with rtorrent 0.8.6 at all, and I normally have several hundred torrents running on it.

Could it be a problem with the ported mac version?

I'm giving rtorrent a try on Linux, maybe the problem doesn't exist there.
