Anyone else having issues with the torrent/launcher? I can't get either one to work. My ports are open. I've had both open for almost 4 hours now and both still show 0%, 0kb/s, 0 peers, 0 anything. it keeps timing out when trying to contact the tracker.

Does your ISP block torrent traffic?

Need some basic information to be able to help you.

What bit torrent client(utorrent, bittornado,etc) are you using and what version is it?

What ISP(Comcast, U-verse, etc) are you using? Some shady ISPs will shape traffic and block content.

Do you have a software firewall? Are you behind a router?


Toss this info out and you'll at least get some suggestions.

Latest version of Utorrent, my ISP is a WiFi one, no firewall as they're worthless.

I gave up on the torrent. I'm downloading the older beta from one of the sites listed in the forums, going at 200 kb/s so I'm fine.


As for the torrent issue, the weird thing is I messed with it a LOT to try and get it working. I'm not new to torrents (I'm almost constantly downloading torrents or seeding them) and this is the first one I've ever had that flat out refused to work. During the entire time I tried to get it to work I stopped all other downloads/uploads... When I finally gave up I resumed the other downloads/uploads I had and they were going at full speed again.


BTW, about 10 minutes ago it found a crapload of peers (around 3k) but no seeders and still wasn't connecting to anyone.

Very odd behavior. No reason for 1 torrent not to work whereas others do. I assume you redownloaded the torrent and deleted any DIR and Temp files created at least 1x to make sure something didnt happen in the torrents creation. Next up would be experimenting with proxy, but if your getting it via direct ...oh well.

Yeah, it was very weird. I even tried another torrent program, along with both of my other PC's. One PC showed almost 7k peers but no seeds and wouldn't download anything, and the other two kept timing out while connecting to the tracker (the one with 7k peers also timed out after finding peers).

I'm hoping the CBT client can be updated for OB,=/

hmmmm maybe your upload is set to high, so it kills the connection?

It can be, will take a few bigger patches, but doable.

Seems to be the best option now still, .

The client's coming down fast too.. Less than 9 hours to go.


I'll mess with the torrent more when my client is done. Maybe I'll be able to find the issue and if others have problems maybe I can help resolve theirs as well.


BTW - to all who attempted to help, thank you, .
