Harold Feit Posted May 21, 2014 Report Share Posted May 21, 2014 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) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Harold Feit Posted May 21, 2014 Report Share Posted May 21, 2014 You have something actively blocking in your setup or your internet provider because of the behavior you're getting on the slackware torrent. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
don123 Posted May 21, 2014 Author Report Share Posted May 21, 2014 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? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Harold Feit Posted May 21, 2014 Report Share Posted May 21, 2014 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.

zzyzx Posted May 23, 2014 Report Share Posted May 23, 2014 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!
