yara3998 Posted March 29, 2013 Report Share Posted March 29, 2013 Hi there. I seriously need help as soon as possible. I'm not really good with connection/networks things, but here's my problem.For the past year I've been using uTorrent and it's been working great, without a single glitch. A few days ago, it didn't download any metadata for a torrent that had a large number of seeders. I re-installed it and it worked fine again.But then the day before yesterday, I was downloading another torrent and it stopped at 39.6% for like 5 hours. I tried re-installing again but nothing changed. I started doing somethings in the preferences from what I saw in forums, but no results.Then I download BitTorrent yesterday. It had the same problem, the metadata wouldn't even download, and after some changes, it eventually did. But the download speed dropped down so hard, I average at 0.3Kb/s, sometimes at 10kb/s. Like yesterday I was downloading a torrent with the size of 2.38 GB and that had 1279 seeders and 200 leechers, and after 7 hours of download, it only reached till 19%. A torrent similar to that one, would usually take me 1-2 hours maximum. I have all the settings that I've configured attached and I tried several others ones. One of the changes I made, increased the speed up to 125Kb/s, but only for like an hour, and then it was back 0.3kb/s.I also tried the Setup Guide (ctrl+G) and it was of no good use since the test itself never finishes. i've attached the results it gives me down.Please, please, please help me out here, and again i remind you that i'm not familiar with connection/network malfunctions and terms. So if you are kind enough to suggest something, then PLEASE explain it. I would be very very grateful Please help me out, I don't know what I would do without a torrent client Also, here's my internet speed from speedtest.nethttp://www.speedtest.net/result/2607905522.pngThank you Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Harold Feit Posted March 29, 2013 Report Share Posted March 29, 2013 Have you tested with torrents like the slackware ones?http://slackware.com/getslack/torrents.php Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
yara3998 Posted March 29, 2013 Author Report Share Posted March 29, 2013 Have you tested with torrents like the slackware ones?http://slackware.com...ck/torrents.phpI just tried it, and it's "connecting to peers" for the past 5 minutes now. The availability is not there, so it's completely red.If I may ask, does this have anything to do with those cyber attacks that happened over the last week?

Harold Feit Posted March 29, 2013 Report Share Posted March 29, 2013 Possible, but doubtful. You may be having some major blocking going on based on slackware torrents not working for you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
