PKT Posted July 6, 2014 Report Share Posted July 6, 2014 Hi, whenever I try to download torrent that is bigger than 1gb, it just says "Connecting to peers 0.0%" This happens only when I try to download torrent from www.ex.ua though. But if the file is small I can download it without any problems. Is there any way to fix this? torrent trackers: DHT - workingLocal peer discovery - workingpeer exchange - workinghttp://retracker.local/announce - hostname not found udp://tracker.ex.ua/announce - working Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Harold Feit Posted July 6, 2014 Report Share Posted July 6, 2014 Did you try the DVD torrents from http://slackware.com/getslack/torrents.php yet? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PKT Posted July 6, 2014 Author Report Share Posted July 6, 2014 Thanks for fast answer, but I really have no idea what that site is about, i'm very bad with computers sorry. Can you explain how that site could help me? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PKT Posted July 6, 2014 Author Report Share Posted July 6, 2014 And btw, small torrents that works fine also says "hostname not found". So that cannot be the problem here, right? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Harold Feit Posted July 6, 2014 Report Share Posted July 6, 2014 The site I linked has several dvd-sized torrents that will tell us where the problem actually is. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PKT Posted July 6, 2014 Author Report Share Posted July 6, 2014 That site says its for Linux, but I don't even use Linux. Do I have to download them all anyway or just 1 of them? And is it 100% safe? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Harold Feit Posted July 6, 2014 Report Share Posted July 6, 2014 Just one of them, for testing. You don't have to install the download, just try to download. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PKT Posted July 6, 2014 Author Report Share Posted July 6, 2014 I downloaded this and it's now on my computer:"Slackware 14.1 x86_64 DVD ISO (Includes everything except for source code -- see the Slackware 14.1 source code DVD ISO above for source code)" What now? edit: that torrents trackers says: http://tracker2.transamrit.net:8082/announce - "Your client's "key" paramater and the key we have for you in our database do not match."

Harold Feit Posted July 6, 2014 Report Share Posted July 6, 2014 With the file downloading successfully, the problem is not with BitTorrent. It's with either the specific torrents or something else. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PKT Posted July 6, 2014 Author Report Share Posted July 6, 2014 So can you help me with this problem anymore or should I try to find help from elsewhere? Thanks anyway! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Harold Feit Posted July 6, 2014 Report Share Posted July 6, 2014 If the problem is only with the one specific site, I'd recommend contacting that site's support team. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
spYro Posted July 7, 2014 Report Share Posted July 7, 2014 You could also tell us the amount of peers/seeders of the torrents that arent working. also tell us the availability please Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PKT Posted July 7, 2014 Author Report Share Posted July 7, 2014 I'm not sure where I can see that, but when I click torrent and check the trackers tab it says: DHT: seeds 0, peers 2local peer discovery: seeds 0, peers 2peer exchange: seeds 0, peers 0http://retracker.local/announce: seeds 0, peers: 0udp://tracker.ex.ua/announce: seeds 0, peers 0 example of a small torrent that works: DHT: seeds 0, peers 0local peer discovery: seeds 0, peers 1peer exchange: seeds 0, peers 0http://retracker.local/announce: seeds 0, peers: 0udp://tracker.ex.ua/announce: seeds 1, peers 0 I have no idea where I can see availability.

Harold Feit Posted July 7, 2014 Report Share Posted July 7, 2014 So in short, the torrents are dead. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PKT Posted July 7, 2014 Author Report Share Posted July 7, 2014 I don't think that can be the problem, because I can download small torrents that are just as dead without any problems, takes only couple minutes. I even tried some very new torrents that cannot be dead, same problem, can't download if it's over 1GB. I think ex.ua works differently than lets say piratebay, I don't think torrents can "die" in ex.ua. This is just a guess though. edit: Maybe the reason is that ex.ua is blocked in my country and I have to use firefox addon to get in there? And that's why I cannot download so big files?
