Download won't start
« on: September 07, 2010, 08:49:22 PM »
So I have been trying to download several torrents for over 3 days now, but none of them have started downloading. Is there a problem with my connection or what? Is my account in trouble? I pm'd the admin, but he didn't answered.
I am using the latest version of utorrent and as you can see from my ratio and all, I don't think it's a matter of queue problem or something like that. Please help !

Any error message in the tab "Trackers"? Are you currently downloading anything?

I knew nothing of the outside world. I was just a frog in a well.

What's this "latest version?" If it's 2.2 alpha, you better downgrade to 2.0.4.

Might as well post my problem here instead. Though i guess the thread itself should be in the Torrent/Tracker Issues board.

My downloads don't even start either. They just stay with "Downloading" status for hours. No error anywhere. Number of leechers jump from 2 to 36 when it's on "Downloading". Again drops to 2 when "Stopped". Same thing with another torrent now. Leechers jump from 5 to 50 when "Downloading". Again back to 5 when "Stopped". In brackets the number is correct, but i can't connect to any seeder. So BBT is having caps now? You can download only a certain amount per day? Although, after restarting the download was working. But i dont wan to restart once every time i give a download on the list. And i use 1.8.5. I tried on 2.0.4 also...maybe. Not that it should be a problem. No error in the "Trackers" tab. I check it first when a torrent has any error.

Edit: Perhaps it just got fixed by itself...No problems now.

Edit 2 : It got revived by itself too. >_>

other parts I read with absolute sorrow,  because I think them utterly false and grievously mischievous...

Restart uTorrent. Seems like this problem manifests itself when uTorrent has been open for a long time, from what I've seen on the boards.
