Hi, so I tried using method 1 of the http://wiki.bitcomet.com/using_bitcomet_to_download_torrents tutorial which was to directly download from website. However on step 1.3, nothing changed for a long time so i checked the status and it still said “connecting.” I was wondering if I was doing something wrong?
I use BitComet 1.31, my modem is actiontec 1000H, I use Windows Vista, my firewall is Windows Defender, my anti-virus is avast!.
Any amount of information would be helpful.
Thankyou
Look at the TRACKERS tab to see what is going on. Your client will keep you updated as it tries to contact the tracker and download a list of peers.
those r a couple screen shots of 2 different torrents I am trying to download.
I just turned my computer on so I’ll wait and see if it starts downloading this time, but it still says “connecting” so far.
Thankyou
Those responses are telling you that there are very few peers in the swarm. You’d be extremely lucky if even one of them turned out to be a seeder. Chances are pretty high that these are dead torrents.
If they’re new, you may want to hang in there a while and see if a seeder appears in the near future. If they’re very old at all though, they’ve probably been abandoned.
ah okay thanks a lot for ur help. il try putting in a seed request
