Harold Feit Posted January 26, 2015 Report Share Posted January 26, 2015 Then something in your setup is actively blocking torrenting. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nikkitpt1 Posted January 26, 2015 Author Report Share Posted January 26, 2015 you mean theres something wrong with my setup in yosemite? or the setup or the setup in bittorrent? if so how do i change that. also, in terms of the vpn, does it matter which state/country i use? thanks for the help Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Harold Feit Posted January 27, 2015 Report Share Posted January 27, 2015 It's probably the VPN itself that's blocking. I've heard reports of PIA not taking kindly to torrenting. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Some countries no longer allow torrential downloads. I forget which ones (you can Google it, though) but the US doesn't. This happened to me.
