NewUser1 Posted February 8, 2016 Report Share Posted February 8, 2016 I downloaded BitTorrent a few days ago and i keep trying to download the same video but its not working. Under the status column, it says connecting to peers, and its been like for days. I try to delete and download it again but it still doesn't change. I don't know what to do I'm very frustrated Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Harold Feit Posted February 8, 2016 Report Share Posted February 8, 2016 So, most likely a dead torrent. do torrents from http://www.slackware.com/getslack/torrents.php do the same thing? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

z537815 Posted February 11, 2016 Report Share Posted February 11, 2016 In my experience it usually means you're handling a dead torrent. Sometimes though, I managed to get a download going by trying this seemingly dead torrent on a different time-of-day. I thought: "Who knows? The seeds might be sleeping now, in a different timezone..." But usually it's a dead torrent. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
