RPH Posted October 8, 2012 Report Share Posted October 8, 2012 Hi,Lately whenever I start a torrent download (from the piratebay) it is unable to find the contents of the torrent and does not load any info on the torrent, it just sits there doing nothing. Also if I click "check for updates", it comes back a few minutes later saying "could not connect to server".This is driving me crazy, what is wrong ?Forgot to mention, that they do start sometimes after quite a while, not sure why theres this delay.Thank-you Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Harold Feit Posted October 8, 2012 Report Share Posted October 8, 2012 What internet security software do you have installed?Who is your internet provider? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RPH Posted October 8, 2012 Author Report Share Posted October 8, 2012 What internet security software do you have installed?Who is your internet provider?I use Mcafee Total Protection. Although I don't see how it could be my av as the torrents do still work after a while (I tried disabling the firewall too).My ISP is Telkom South Africa.

Harold Feit Posted October 8, 2012 Report Share Posted October 8, 2012 Did you try with McAfee uninstalled temporarily? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RPH Posted October 8, 2012 Author Report Share Posted October 8, 2012 Did you try with McAfee uninstalled temporarily?No, but as I said they do eventually start, so the av can't be blocking them or else they would never start.Maybe I will take some screenshots next time I try a download....I really don't know what the problem is, Maybe the ISP is throttling them/trying to block downloads.

TheMonarch28 Posted October 9, 2012 Report Share Posted October 9, 2012 I'm having the same problem. I'll click on the "get this torrent" link on Pirate Bay, BitTorrent will open, and then nothing. DHT is enabled and I've tried temporarily disabling my McAfee. Any other suggestions? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Harold Feit Posted October 9, 2012 Report Share Posted October 9, 2012 Temporarily disabling isn't the same as temporarily uninstalling. Temporarily uninstalling is the only way to make sure McAfee's hooks aren't actually interfering. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
