Why are none of my torrents downloading? my hard drive is far from full and i don't know what you mean by mounted. check what settings. client settings? router settings? and what logs? McHenryB. Estimable. As uTorrent and BitComet are both Windows clients I deduce that you have posted in the wrong forum. I would try asking the question in one of the Windows forums. Don't even think about trying to use a torrent on a school wireless network; you may end up getting expelled. What is it that you are trying to download? explosiondude369. Estimable.

Thanks for the heads up. Lol. Can you help me understand what the other guy was saying. McHenryB. Estimable. skittle. Distinguished. Yes I assume you were running Linux. Same sort of requirements apply to windows though: If for some reason the HDD is not mounted (think a removable drive that has been "safely removed") then you cannot write to it. Also if for some reason the torrent clients (or your user) do not have write permission on the drive. Or a myriad of other reasons. Hard to say without looking at the error/log files and knowing how your windows was setup. To expand on blocking torrent traffic, traditionally it is very hard because many traffic are encrypted so packet detection algorithms do not work well. The only reliable method is to block by default all ports other than 43 and 80 for normal web traffic but this still does not stop someone from using torrent over port 43 and 80 and has other undesirable consequences. So I think the problem is unlikely that it is your internet connection. explosiondude369. Estimable. Yes I assume you were running Linux.

So I think the problem is unlikely that it is your internet connection. how might one go about blocking all ports but 43 and 80? Also unfortunately I am using windows so if that is out of your area of expertise that is fine but if not I have uncovered some more info. I read somewhere to try plugging directly into modem. Now in bitcomet the listening port is no loner blocked. Yay. but downloads still don't work. Boo. Although I was looking through my windows firewall advanced security setting a stumbled upon my inboud and outbound rules. A bunch of these rules said windows peer to peer collaboration (some had tcp at the end and I forgot to check for udp but I assume it is there). Anyways those are disabled. should I enable them. all trackers listed "not working" #8397. Hi everyone, I'm hoping to get some help with a problem across all torrent files, they all have public trackers added and every single one shows as not working. This has been happening for the last few weeks but they still manage to connect to DHT, [PeX> and [LSD] Here is a snapshot - I have setup to have approx 50 public trackers auto added by qbittorrent and not a single one shows as working, across the board. Checking the logs here is the listening information: 12/02/2018 8:35 PM - UPnP / NAT-PMP support [ON] 12/02/2018 8:35 PM - qBittorrent is successfully listening on interface 0.0.0.0 port: UDP/62222 12/02/2018 8:35 PM - qBittorrent is successfully listening on interface :: port: TCP/62222 12/02/2018 8:35 PM - qBittorrent is successfully listening on interface 0.0.0.0 port: TCP/62222 12/02/2018 8:35 PM - qBittorrent is successfully listening on interface 0.0.0.0 port: UDP/62222 12/02/2018 8:35 PM - qBittorrent is successfully listening on interface :: port: TCP_SSL/4433 12/02/2018 8:35 PM - qBittorrent is successfully listening on interface :: port: TCP/62222 12/02/2018 8:35 PM - qBittorrent is successfully listening on interface 0.0.0.0 port: TCP_SSL/4433 12/02/2018 8:35 PM - qBittorrent is successfully listening on interface 0.0.0.0 port: TCP/62222 12/02/2018 8:35 PM - Options were saved successfully.
