Brandy2175 Posted March 17, 2015 Report Share Posted March 17, 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 out I 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.Both Utorrent and Bittorent the latest versions. I have now started using bitcomet which seems to work a tad bit better. I have gotten a few to download to 100% however some don't. My listen ports are open. Bitcomet shows that. Does anyone have any other ideas? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Harold Feit Posted March 17, 2015 Report Share Posted March 17, 2015 What antivirus? Have you reset winsock yet? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brandy2175 Posted March 17, 2015 Author Report Share Posted March 17, 2015 I use Ad-Aware antivirus and no I haven't reset winsock. Why would I have to reset winsock btw? What would be a possible cause to have to reset it? I have no issues with my browsers, surfing the internet and no problems with my dsl losing connection or anything like that.

Harold Feit Posted March 18, 2015 Report Share Posted March 18, 2015 There are deep-hooking internet security software packages that place hooks in the winsock that can cause torrent clients to break. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brandy2175 Posted March 18, 2015 Author Report Share Posted March 18, 2015 Thank you very much for your answer Harold. I will reset the winsock and see how it works. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brandy2175 Posted March 20, 2015 Author Report Share Posted March 20, 2015 Hey Harold, resetting the winsock didn't help this problem. Everything is still the same. Very few will actually go past connecting to peers, no matter how many seeders/leachers etc. Thanks for your input however do you have any other ideas?

Harold Feit Posted March 21, 2015 Report Share Posted March 21, 2015 Do torrents from http://slackware.com/getslack/torrents.php work or not? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Foobymaster Posted March 28, 2015 Report Share Posted March 28, 2015 I finally found a solution for my problem. I was having this same problem and the winsock reset worked. Thank You! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
