Why can't I download anything?
« on: December 21, 2012, 10:40:23 AM »
Recently when I try to download a torrent (like Steel Ball Run and Hight School of the Dead soundtrack) I can't see any seeders on mTorrent, therefore the download rate is 0%. What is the problem?

Probably that you don't seed, just leech, your rate is actually under 0.5, which I believe should stop you from downloading.

He hasn't been warned yet, which means he should still be able to download.

If mtorrent stand for utorrent, what version are you using ? What's the tracker status when you download one ? Is it only leeching that doesn't work, or can't you seed either ?

Any info would prove useful.

There's no one in the world I'm interested in surpassing, excepted for myself.

He's most likely just using µtorrent 3.2.3 as most people with problems.

Solution: Read up, downgrade, be happy

Or change to another client which is whitelisted...

Yeah, mtorrent (my mistake, I wanted to type μtorrent) stands for utorrent. After making this thread and before any reply was made I installed the latest version, 3.2.3. At first I still had the same problem but after shutting down my pc, the next time I opened it, voila! The torrents started to be downloaded normally. So for the time being I'm ok. In case I have the same problem again I'll try installing an older version.

Thanks for your help. :)

Well, they just white-listed that version, so that's probably why it started working...
