Problem Starting Download (Connecting To Peers)

[Sladeja]

The downloads fail to start, I haven't touched anything this just happened yesterday.

All trackers are in "Working" status.

 

Any help is greatly appreciated, Thanks in advance.

Screenshot showing the trackers tab please?

Sorry, Can't figure out how to get the image to a post. DHT LPD and PE all have a "working" status. seeds are at 0 0 0 Peer - 2 1 2 and downloaded - 0 0 0

Seems like an unseeded torrent.

Do torrents from http://slackware.com/getslack/torrents.php work?

yes

 

Also, The torrent has 1000s of seeders

[Harold Feit]

According to the numbers you're reporting to me, the other torrents you're trying actually don't have ANY seeds.

I'm only trying to download ONE torrent, and it has seeds. 

 

I just want to know what I can do If I'm stuck on the "Connecting to peers" stage. Anyone know of common causes for this? I'm sure it happens from time to time.

I'm having the same issue. How do I send you a screenprint?

I seem to have found a temporary solution, I went into options - preferences - under the BitTorrent tab I unchecked "Enable DHT Network". Not sure if this is a good way to fix it but I have no problems downloading now.

i had the same problem. i unchecked the "enable DHT network" but that didnt work. but the other day bittorrent tried to connect to the internet and my virus protection (webroot) blocked it. i unblocked bittorrent and it works fine now.
