Deepsetsyd Posted October 12, 2013 Report Share Posted October 12, 2013 Hello.I've been using Bittorrent for quite a while, mostly successfully. A week ago I used it to download a large file succesfully, and Ieft it seeding for a couple of days so I have a healthy share ratio. Today I'm trying to download a similar file and I'm getting 'Finding peers' permanently and nothing coming down. BT is telling me that there are 228 seeds and 22 peers in the swarm but I have none connected. I have tried the following:* disabled all firewall and anti-virus* closing BT, deleting the dat files and starting up again* deleting all torrents and data and starting again* using a different computer* restarting the wifi router and pc* shouting at the computer* vuze I can't think of a single thing more to try, please help me! Screenshot attached. Cheers,Syd Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Harold Feit Posted October 12, 2013 Report Share Posted October 12, 2013 * vuzeBy trying additional clients and it still not working, it USUALLY means there's something either in your own setup or at your internet provider causing the issue. Do torrents from http://slackware.com/getslack/torrents.php work? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Deepsetsyd Posted October 12, 2013 Author Report Share Posted October 12, 2013 Thanks.Yes, that seems to work fine. That's odd, so it seems BT is actually ok, but there is something wrong with the feed. Any idea how to diagnose the problem? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Harold Feit Posted October 12, 2013 Report Share Posted October 12, 2013 What messages are on the trackers tab with a problem torrent selected? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Deepsetsyd Posted October 13, 2013 Author Report Share Posted October 13, 2013 Any suggestions? Does the 'Not allowed' entry indicate a problem with the jungleland feed?Thanks,Syd. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Harold Feit Posted October 13, 2013 Report Share Posted October 13, 2013 It sounds like a problem with the site itself rather than the "feed" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Deepsetsyd Posted October 13, 2013 Author Report Share Posted October 13, 2013 That's strange, others seem to be having no trouble. I'll see if I can find out more from that end. I'd be grateful if you could hazard a guess at the kind of problem it might be - I'n not sure if there are common things that might be wrong.
