All torrents 'connecting' ONLY

Hi I have a bit of a problem

I was using my BitComet fine when it all changed and now nothing will connect. All show Tracker Return xx Peers (where xx is > 0), but looks like 0/0[0/xx] in the Seed/Peer[All] column (again xx represents various numbers >0).

I dont know what to do as all was working fine one day then next not at all. I am at Uni and so get my internet through their system, but my browser is unaffected! I did not change any settings, and all seem to be in order with the various suggestions on the forum. I even upgraded from 0.68 to 0.70 (after the issue occured) and so it is not due to old version or firewall block.

Please help as this is the first issue I have had since starting to use BitComet 6 months ago. Oh I have also restarted my computer...so stuck for ideas.

Thanks in advance

Ziggy

The problem may yet be (and sounds like) firewall block, if you have a software firewall. Rule it out, in any case: delete your firewall rule for BitComet, and re-create it. Don't forget to make it for UDP as well as TCP.

Did that a couple of times as I say, and just checked both TCP and UDP, are set to permit all.

More information, if I click on the trakers tab (bottom left) and while in all cases it does return >0 Peers, it also reads 'Can't Connect Tracker (10060)' or 'Can't Connect Tracker (10061)'.

Dont know if that helps someone work out whats up!? I hope so.

Thanks again

May be you share ur single port with two p2p software ? One p2p software only can use one port.. Can't share 2 with 1 port....

Ziggy, that's an entirely different issue, and one that you probably should have reported first.

Always check the tracker for error messages. That 10060 error means you haven't be able to succesfully scrape the tracker -- it's too busy to respond -- so you haven't got its list of peers yet. Since you did GET a response from the tracker (even if it's just saying it's too busy) this removes the firewall issue, or at least postpones and redimensions it. The problem is usually cured by simply waiting. Your client will rescrape and eventually get a successful scrape.

If this persists for a long time (an hour or so), try again later. If it persists for several days, the tracker has probably been effectively taken down. The numeric error codes are WinSock errors, which see. Some of them will tell you that you'll never connect to that tracker, so you won't be getting that torrent.
