Title: Can't connect to torrents
Post by: AmigaMance on October 02, 2009, 07:21:06 PM
Hi.
 I was able to connect to torrents and download files without problems until recently. Now, ctorrent fails to connect. It just times out. I have tried a few random torrents from a popular tracker, with 50-100 seeders each, using the latest version of CTorrent available for AmigaOS 3 and MorphOS. I still fail to establish connection.

I notice that too connecting to torrents with a Mac, not to be paranoid but there's something going on out there.

A lot of piratebay torrents have suddenly died.

Does your torrent program allow for encrypted connections? If not it may be your ISP blocking you.

Also, as Tension pointed out, a lot of torrents on TBP have died recently. Try another tracker.

 Tension was right afterall! I tried a torrent from another tracker and it worked. TPB is the problem.
