Torrents Don't Download

[don123]

I've been trying to download torrents but just doesn't work

Ive downloaded many in the past, Has been working perfectly fine for 6 months something wrong right now.

 

I've tried downloading a torrent with many seeds eg. 3 days to kill still doesnt work

tracker shows that connection is timed out however internet works perfectly fine

What internet security software do you have installed?

Do torrents from http://slackware.com/getslack/torrents.php work or no? (STOP all your existing torrents before testing)

[don123]

they all say downloading but dont actually download

  ok sorry they all starting to fail now

Plus i use a mac i dont have a specific security software

[Harold Feit]

Tracker status from the Trackers tab, not the status column in the upper panel.

[don123]

Tracker for the movie says inactive for peer exchange and local discovery and DHT

the other udp trackers dont show anything... they're all blank

[Harold Feit]

Then the torrent you've chosen isn't actually active.

[don123]

Ok right now it shows:

DHT - waiting for announce..

Peer discovery - working

peer exchange - working

all the other trackers:

All the Udp trackers have --- connection timed out.... 

this showed before as well ... its always timed out

They will be updated in the next 5 mins

[Harold Feit]

Stop all torrents and try one from http://www.slackware.com/getslack/torrents.php

[don123]

Ok i tried the first one and it shows

DHT - waiting for announce

peer discovery  - working 

peer exchange - working

the tracker transmit// 8082 - offline timed out

You have something actively blocking in your setup or your internet provider because of the behavior you're getting on the slackware torrent.

[don123]

So what am i supposed to do here?

How do i stop it.... Its never been like this ... were the changes made automatically?

Whats the easiest or best way to solve this?

[Harold Feit]

Internet security settings are in your computer.

Router configuration MIGHT have some effect, but that depends on the router you're using.

Failing that, your internet provider is actively blocking you and there's nothing in your setup that would actually be consistently effective at fixing that.

I have a similar problem. My BitTorrent has been working fine until a month ago. Now my music files download 100%, but then it shows them seeding, and they never make it into my downloads folder. What is going on?! Thanks!
