**Farva** · November 11th, 2004, 07:03 AM

Hey everyone, i have got a very wierd situtation with Bittorrent here, I have been useing bittorrent for about 4 months perfectly and then the other day i just got up and died on my. It keeps saying "problem connecting to tracker" and never begings the download.

I know that the torrent server is not busy and that my firewall is not blocking it because i can download bittorrents just fine on all my other computars useing the same exact torrent file. - For example i have two comps in my room, i go to suprnova.org and get a torrent file and try to download it but it won't connect to the tracker SO then i go and try to download it on the other computar and it works just fine.

i cant figure it out have opend all the need ports, uninstalled and reinstalled, have let the bittorrent look for a tracker for 4 hours before and nothing.PLEASE HELP ME I AM GOING INSANE-thx

yo,

it could be that the tracker is down or something. it happens.
perhaps you can try to ping the tracker... :)

Trackers do go down. Try a different client, such as azureus, and see if it works any different.

I was experiencing similar problems lately as well and as I posted in another thread, the problems mysteriously resloved themselves!!!

I just download the newest torrent for NFS2:U on the non-working computer and it couldn't connect, so i opened the torrent on the other computer 2 feet away form me and no its working. I dont know the freaking problem is it makes NO SENCE-please help

Try downloading it again in couple of hours. I wouldn't be suprised if it worked then!
There seems to be some kind of bug in the new version of azureus...

No filename posting, please.

*puts on an angelic look*

Another possibility is you are trying to download the file from a registered-users-only server. Try getting another torrent for the file in mind, I know there are a lot of them on SuprNova.org

it is not just one perticular bittorrent i go onto suprnova.org and pick anyone of the torrents and none of them work on my computer but they will on the other computer 2 feet away form me.

hi all still no changes, thx for the info though

**Siskabush** · November 12th, 2004, 03:20 PM

I was thinking they are those Suprnova-leech torrents (The ones you have to get a username/pass + change ports to use).

If they work on the other computer 2 feet away from you, invest in a data switch or KVM box and 3 feet of crossover cable and just transfer the files to your other box.

i have a username BUT>....... the forums won't open for me, will they for anyone else?

I have had no problem using Suprnova or any of the other Bit Torrent Sites and everything seems to be working great . I would make these suggestions that should help resolve your problem .

1. Try a different Bit Torrent program than the one you are currently using . I use BitComet as do many others and it has worked great . I tried most other Bit Torrent programs previously and none even come close in my biased opinion .

2. Check the ad-blocking and cookie blocking settings in your internet browser . Very often this can cause a problem . If you are using Firefox , turn off adblock if you have it and allow cookies for suprnova.

3. Check your firewall. Several firewall settings are dsigned to make your web browsing more secure and do the job , but unfortunately also block access to some websites .For sygate pro try turning off (or unchecking ) stealth mode bowsing and anti-ip spoofing . You only need to turn them off while accessing the site and after that re-enable them.

4. Check firewall settings for the program you are using . In Sygate pro, you will need to enable the advanced application settings (just right click the application)which allow the application to act as a server .

5. Check your router if you are using one .In order for the application to have access to your computer, you need to open ports in the router so it is not blocked.

These are all things I have checked at various times and now I have no problem at all accessing Suprnova or downloading torrents from there . Good luck . :fire
