uTorrent tracker problem

[r3volution]

Client: uTorrent 1.5

Tracker URL: ///a tracker that is reliable///

Tracker Status: offline (timed out)

UPLOADING...not downloading

i have no idea y the status is always at offline(timed out)

when i check their site (ThePirateBay.org), it says my file has 0 seeds and 0 peers

i know that it isn't the tracker's problem cuz other files from other people do not have this problem

i think i also had a similar problem with Azureus when i was uploading so i dun think its uTorrent's probelm either

-thanks

It's a problem with the tracker, not ?Torrent. Sometimes when there's heavy load on a tracker, it will report it's offline because the request from your client is timing out. You're connected to peers through DHT/Peer Exchange, or you got some seeds/peers from the tracker when/if you were connected earlier. Make sure you have both Enable DHT and Peer Exchange checked when you're using a public tracker.

Really? Then be careful talking about Maximum PC magaizine, then. The April 2006 issue tells you how to copy/convert DVD's, copy-protected CD's and downloaded music.

this is what the mod said

btw.....

uTorrent doens't seem to let me use DHT and peer exchange

it says

DHT status: not allowed

although in preferences i did enable it

[Slimy]

DHT is not allowed on private trackers, private torrents. It will turn on if you are downloading a public torrent. However, I have no idea why this error would occur for the piratebay, unless you/someone set the torrent to be private.

ohhh....that explains a lot....

slimy...piratebay is private

thanks
