Problem starting download
« on: May 31, 2010, 10:42:56 PM »
Perhaps my search-fu is low, but I couldn't find anything that related to my problem here.

Trying to download SDF Macross which has some 54 seeders and only 6 leechers, but I get connection to none and thus no download starts. Some of the o torrent programs I've tried has said that the connection was blocked, and I guessed that it was maybe because they weren't whitelisted yet.

I'm a total newbie here and could perhaps use some guidance. I'm using the whitelisted utorrent 2.0.2 (for first time) on a windows XP OS.

This is a link to the torrent I'm currently trying to DL:

in utorrent click on the "trackers" tab while the torrent is highlighted. write down what is listed in the "status" column and post it here. - that way we should be able to narrow it down quite a bit.

Fault: Unregistered torrent pass. this torrent pass is either not valid or has expired

The pass key is for January only.

you are trying to download an expired public torrent. the public torrents are only good for 2 month.
just re-download the torrent file from the page (bakabt.com, not isohunt) either while logged in (in which case your upload and download would be tracked) or while logged out (in which case it would be the same as the torrent on isohunt, only working).

Thanks a lot for all the help. I have waited for over 15 years to see this series, so I'm kind of desperate to get this working ^^
