[forgottenme]

ok so one of the million download problems that get asked about

trying for two days to download transformers torrent found here

http://bakabt.me/148291-transformers-1984-complete-animated-series-dvdrip.html

kept getting connection error no route to host "connection error (noroutetohostexcept ion:no route to host: connect)"
I think this the first time downloading from bakabt
I use vuze to torrent i never messed with the setting or options except the max up and down load speeds

the tracker is http://tracker.bakabt.com:2710/<removed>/

tried downloading it before registering wouldn't connect so i registered thinking it would work then

still wouldn't start so i deleted and tried again ... three times

left if for over twenty hours waiting to see if it would start no joy

any help?   please?

To screenshot:

1. Upload your image to an image hosting site; Imageshack is recommended.
2. Click random forum threads till you find one with a screenshot.
3. Click quote on the post with a screenshot.
4. Copy and paste the code he used for his screenshot and replace the URL with the URL given to you by the hosting site.
(Note: don't you dare post your private key again in your screenshot)

As for your problem, this is new. Sounds like your connection to the tracker is being cut somewhere in the middle. I'd tell you to run a traceroute but I'm not quite sure how to do that. I just know it involves the command terminal and the tracert command - Google it.

As a solution, you could try a proxy or another client. uTorrent is recommended here - most users use it so you can get a lot more feedback.

i tried trace route command in command prompt and tried to ping as well

neither worked

i tried another site and it timed out or whatever on line one pinging didnt get any through either

i am still connected to the internet i can look up pages and download but command prompt cannot reach anything

i have other torrents going they are working fine but they are not hosted on bakabt

Do you use PeerBlock/PeerGuardian?
Are you able to access the main page of the site? (i.e. where you can download torrents)
Can you successfully "ping google.com"?
If so, try pinging tracker.bakabt.com:2710.

Is there anything special about your connection that you haven't mentioned?
And do you have anything against trying uTorrent?

i am using peer block and oce i disabled it the torrent connected

[Freedom Kira]

Perfect. PeerBlock (and I think PeerGuardian too) has BBT's tracker on its blacklist for some reason. You don't have to disable it, but be sure to remove BBT from the blacklist.

It's on the Paranoia list, iirc.
