Harold Feit Posted March 2, 2015 Report Share Posted March 2, 2015 What internet security software do you have installed? What setup guide did you follow to configure BitTorrent? What tracker status do you have on the trackers tab with one of the problem torrents selected? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Harold Feit Posted March 3, 2015 Report Share Posted March 3, 2015 So what exact tracker status do you have on the trackers tab? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
butoking2312 Posted March 5, 2015 Report Share Posted March 5, 2015 I am having same problem. Tracker status is not authorized Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Harold Feit Posted March 5, 2015 Report Share Posted March 5, 2015 Until they answer with the tracker status, you can't claim you're having the same issue. In your case, you should probably get your torrents from a different site. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ishmael Posted March 6, 2015 Report Share Posted March 6, 2015 I am having a similar issue. I am using xfinity "typical security" firewall, nothing more.Have not configured Bittorrent any differently since I downloaded it off the website. Here's what my tracker tab looks like: Name |Status [DHT] |waiting for announce...[Local peer discovery] |working[Peer Exchange] |workinghttp://tracker.yify-tor.. | HTTP Error 500 udp.//open.demonii... |Connection timed out.udp://tracker.coppe... |Connection timed out.(A couple more "connection timed outs"udp://tracker.publicb..|No such host is known.udp://tracker.sytes.n..|Connection timed out. Something else to note, I recently moved and just signed up with comcast, no other choice around here. Torrents worked fine at last address, no luck at this one. Tried reinstalling, tried a new client, tried different sites, so far nada. Thanks for any help. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
butoking2312 Posted March 10, 2015 Report Share Posted March 10, 2015 I think it has to be Comcast. I too just moved and have Comcast and this is the issue I am having. I have visited my friends and am able to download with no problem using their provider(also Comcast) but for some reason I am not able to do so at my house. If you have solved this please let me know what you were able to do. Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brandy2175 Posted March 11, 2015 Report Share Posted March 11, 2015 I can download some torrents but not others. They get stuck at connecting to peers. I have 2 computers running off the same DSL modem that the phone company configured. My modem allows all traffic. The firewall in my DSL modem is not the issue according to my phone company nor do they block utorrent or bittorent. My antivirus and windows firewall have been turned off for both computers and still I cannot get past connecting to peers with some downloads. I have no computer viruses or malware on either computer. I can download torrents on the other computer that I cannot download on this computer. I can also download torrents on this computer that won't download on the other computer. This is a strange problem. I have never had issues with any torrents ever in the 3+ years of downloading daily. I don't know how to copy my tracker and peer list to this post. However they look something like this. DHT waiting for announcement--at the bottom of bittorrent it says DHT waiting to log in.Local Peer Discover -workingPeer Exchange- workingfr33domtrackerh33t-no such host is knownopen.demonii-connection timed outtracker.1337x.org-no such host is knowntracker.ccc.de80-connection timed outtracker.istole.it-no such host is knowntracker.openbittorent.com-connection timed outtracker.publicbt.com-failure connection timed outI have not moved. I have done nothing different. Nothing has changed with my computers or my ISP. Just all of a sudden about a week ago this started happening with both of my computers.I used to only use Utorrent. When this happened I tried bittorrent. Same issues with both programs on both computers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brandy2175 Posted August 30, 2015 Report Share Posted August 30, 2015 6 months later and I still have the same problem. I gave up trying to figure it out. I exhausted every tip they said to do here. Nothing works. I can download some torrents but not others, never knowing which ones until I try. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
