Seeders but no download

Hey guys,

I recently switched to uTorrent 1.8.4 but sometimes I have a problem. I will have seeders, but it won’t download.

I have one file I’ve been trying to download for about 2 weeks now. It has (at the moment) 55 seeders, but it’s not connecting to any of them. I have another file that has over 1800 seeders that rarely moves, and when it does it’s usually less than 1.0kB.

Any help? Thanks

What does the Peers tab show?

uTorrent?? :blink: This forum is the support forum for BitComet:smiley:

If you’ve visited the µtorrent support forums, it’s not too surprising people would look for a less hostile and more helpful place to get answers.

Wadda 'ya mean hostile??? I thought that they had to pass an entrance exam to see just how inhospitable and unwelcoming they could be… :stuck_out_tongue:

We could probably tell more from a screenshot of your PEERS tab, but it’s possible that you have a fake torrent. It reports multiple seeders, but they don’t actually exist. These are common with very recent material - films or albums.

It’s also possible that your settings have made you a very undesirable trade partner. You’d usually see your download rate decline over about 20 minutes, then finally tank and stay at or near zero. If you shut down your client, restart it, and see this process repeat, that’s likely the case. You’re not giving enough back, and eventually all of the peers in the swarm have given up on you in favor of someone who’s faster and more reliable to trade with.

utorrent???hhhmmmm why are you running after it???its ok its your choice,i too tried utorrent for testing purpose,but bitcomet is 1000 times better than utorrent,i dont know about other utorretn users,but i get highest download speeds only with bitcomet only,(i tested vuze also)
