Torrent Not Starting PLS HELP
« on: April 14, 2013, 08:18:38 AM »
This is my first torrent that i tried to download, the account was made 2 months ago so there shouldnt be any problems. However, when i start to download the .torrent file from the website the speed is like 50-80 BYTES per second and the torrent stops midway. After lots of attempts, i managed to download the files but it wont start seeding and becomes an inactive torrent. In the trackers tab, the bakabt site is on with seeds/peers but it says updating and the torrent is not moving at all. Pls help

Redownload the torrent file while logged in. Public torrents expire at the end of each month.

Also, try restarting your computer. If that doesn't help, power cycle all your networking equipment.

Which torrent is that? I don't see any active torrents in your profile. Try what Freedom Kira said above?

Redownload the torrent file while logged in.

Tried that but it still doesn't work, I restarted my Mac. Other torrents from other websites such as Isohunt, Piratebay works fine at satisfaction speed only the ones from Bakabt doesn't work. Also, the torrent (which is now in Utorrent), there is BakaBT listed as a tracker, the seedings and peers are fine but it says updating and no downloading/uploading is done. The torrent I'm trying to download is To Love-RU [Exiled-Destiny][H264]. Um, another question, you said that public torrent expires at the end of each month so how do i make it work again? Thankyou

If you downloaded while logged in, it will not expire. If you want to use the public torrent system for an extended period of time, you have to redownload the torrent file at the beginning of each month or change the tracker URL to the updated one.

Also, check the whitelist.

The torrent is apparently taking too long to connect to the tracker. The trackers column shows that the tracker is updating but it has been there for quite a few hours. Even though the torrents are very well seeded, my client cannot get a hold of any seeds or peers. the status reads 'Finding peers.' I have been facing this problem since this morning. I use uTorrent 3.3.

Your help will be much appreciated.

Have you restarted your computer recently? Restart your network too, while you're at it.
