Torrents just wont download but are connected

A good way around this is to use port forwarding or port mapping. You can set up port forwarding to forward traffic to the BitTorrent ports to your PC and vice versa , allowing uTorrent to make a stable connection. When a uTorrent gets stuck on connecting to peers, it could point to a problem with your network configuration. BitTorrent has a reputation—and not a very good one. To most people, it means illegal file sharing, which is why internet service providers will where possible block and severely limit the capability of users downloading or uploading BitTorrent files.

Many users will prefer to use a virtual private network VPN to bypass ISP restrictions or to maintain their anonymity while downloading or sharing BitTorrent files. Check with your VPN provider and, if it does offer BitTorrent-friendly servers, make sure to connect to these when using uTorrent to download or share your files. JavaScript is disabled.

I have tried this on wireless and wired connections I have turned off firewalls and vpn services but nothing has worked. If this is all the work of comcast they are doing one hell of a good job, but please help. I'm am not asking why this is happening but an explanation of why would be appreciated if you can also solve the problem.

Bitcomet also metioned something about a listening port being blocked and would it be unsafe to download a torrent from some website like bitlet or fuge on a school wireless connection.

Jan 31, 1 4, 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? McHenryB :. I can understand perfectly what Skittle was saying; he answered as if you were running Linux - not unreasonable as you posted in the Linux forum.

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.
