ACSA111 Posted May 21, 2014 Report Share Posted May 21, 2014 Is there anyone who can help me? I've been using bit torrent for 5 yrs already and I haven't encountered issues like this. After I upgraded the bit torrent, it started to be stuck on Connecting to Peers FOREVER... and I literally mean it FOREVER. I have posted help here but no one dared to answer or help me. what is wrong with the new version? I have already re-installed the torrent but still it has the same problems. I even went back to the old version but it doesn't help. It has been like this for weeks now. The torrent I downloaded has lots of peers on it, so there is no reason to be connecting forever or trying to find one for decades... Can anyone resolve the issue? Appreciate much your help.

Harold Feit Posted May 22, 2014 Report Share Posted May 22, 2014 Then your internet provider is likely blocking things. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ACSA111 Posted June 4, 2014 Author Report Share Posted June 4, 2014 #community manager I am now able to add torrent from slackware but none is working though. what is happening with bit torrent? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Harold Feit Posted June 4, 2014 Report Share Posted June 4, 2014 If the slackware torrents still aren't downloading, you still have something blocking. It's not actually bittorrent being the problem because it's not everyone having this problem. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
