[bittorrent] Weird Problem

Leiawen · Mar 25, 2007

I'm torrenting a file and for some reason my download speed just totally crashed and I disconnected from all seeds.

I can see several hundred seeds in the swarm but my client won't connect to them. I have 80 peers connected that I am uploading to at full speed, but for some reason I am not downloading any faster than 0.4 KB/sec.

Everything was working just fine until I suddenly hit this brick wall. Reboots/obtaining new IP etc have not helped. I'm using utorrent.

Help me out here, TeeDub.

You probably don't have a port open.

Port is open, I have it forwarded on my router. Like I said, it WAS working just fine. Then it...stopped.

Did you use the 'Test if port is forwarded properly' thing in μTorrent?

is it "We Were Dead Before The Ship Even Sank?"

I'm having this problem with that torrent...stuck at 98%

^^^
what is the url for that utorrent tool? when you click "check to see if port is open" it sends you to some site that checks automatically...what is it?

Yeah, I did and it said everything is Ok. :/

Its a public tracker.

Edit: No Hologram, thats not the file.

µTorrent Port Checker

replace 40880 with whatever port you're using.
