kiisy Posted February 17, 2013 Report Share Posted February 17, 2013 Hey,I downloaded Bittorrent (I have used it many years before) and now it is unable to find peers.I tried http://slackware.com...ck/torrents.php and torrents from there seem to be the only one working. (How and why?)Still I have to mention that the torrents i want to download have over 2000 seeders and 300 leechers.Probably the problem is something to do with the settings (something is blocking another thing) but I dont know what to do, i havent found any help in here yet. I can't be the only one.Thank you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Harold Feit Posted February 18, 2013 Report Share Posted February 18, 2013 Slackware torrents working indicate that the sites you're trying are mis-reporting the statistics about how many peers are actually present. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kiisy Posted February 18, 2013 Author Report Share Posted February 18, 2013 I don't believe they're misleading. It is with any random torrent which I find are popular I add that this site is thepiratebay.se So your answer is that there is not much to do?

Harold Feit Posted February 18, 2013 Report Share Posted February 18, 2013 The statistics they're receiving may be misleading.If your setup is such that incoming connections are being blocked, you're dealing with things that will need fixing.Routers and software firewalls will basically be required to be configured.

Anna Hailings-Sharma123 Posted September 20, 2013 Report Share Posted September 20, 2013 Yes, even my Bittorrent says "Connecting to Peers" or "Finding Peers" even though there are more than 300 peers... This problem started a few days ago when I installed a new anti-virus but I've checked my firewall and Bittorrent is listed as an exception...

dantesic Posted September 22, 2013 Report Share Posted September 22, 2013 Try removing the torrent and add the torrent again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TorrentPirate666 Posted September 23, 2013 Report Share Posted September 23, 2013 Ever since updating to bit torrent 7.8.1 any torrent I try to download goes to a finding peers status and sits there. I have tried older torrents over 6 months old and newer ones under a month old. The status stays the same. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

monsoon3211 Posted February 20, 2014 Report Share Posted February 20, 2014 im having the same problem with finding peers and i have Virgin Mobile , i usually use adownloader,utorrent etc,. but it seems to b the provider because i have 2 internet providers, virgin and verizon and on verizon the torrents work fine. the problem with virgin started about jan 2014 sometime just seems to drop peers , it will have 3 then drop to 0 then to 2 then 0 like no info coming through i believe its the provider.
