I heard that but couldn't understand why it would work through a VPN??

Madam Medusa

don't know...but if a site is blocked, it comes up as an error on bitlord, so they can't have blocked it...all very odd and bloody inconsiderate...

MM what search engine are you using? Is it the torrent that's blocked or the search?

Fairydust

I can get utorrent up and running (without VPN) showing all the torrents the upspeed is working but no downspeed and when you click on speed box at the bottom it says:-

DHT - not allowed
Local Peer Discovery - not allowed
Peer Exchange - not allowed

very bloody odd

Madam Medusa

nothing is blocked, that's the point...it's all as normal, but none of the files are downloading or uploading...it just says "connecting tracker to say start, waiting for a response"...when i've tried to download from a blocked site, it says error, so it can't be that...

I may had that problem before. If the download doesn't start, it could be the trackers. If you open the properties of a torrent that is working and copy and paste the trackers into the torrent you are having a problem with, it might overcome the problem. If not,

Roadking

Sorry, the other thing could be that the torrent is fake and has been removed by the Moderator. If it's a RAR file, I'd suspect this is the answer. What you trying to grab?

Madam Medusa

no it's torrents i was already downloading, from uknova and eztv, they are mid way through, so i don't think they are fakes...plus some were also seeding, but now the whole thing has stopped...

EZ was shut off for me a few weeks ago but came back a few days later. No idea why. It's ace for UK TV series but I'm not d/l anything from there at the moment. Will try a search in the morning and let you know if I can snatch and start a d/l.

Sounds as if I know what I'm doing, don't it!

Madam Medusa

well until yesterday, it was all fine, i download loads from both of those sites...aaaggghhh, it is doing my head in now, i'm waiting for my fix of the lovely nigella...

MM, xx

Spugsy

ah, and for some reason I can't get onto any secure sites, internet banking etc etc - just doesn't load up.

Roadking

Have you tried stopping the torrent and restarting. I know, sounds like, "Is the plug in, have you turned it on..." but sometimes it works. Dunno why but it does specially after the PC has rebooted.

Madam Medusa

yeah a few times, lol...and i've turned the laptop on and off as well...

MM, xx

Autonomy

that's what you get for downloading stuff.... you of all people should know better...

just pop out to your local blockbuster.... oh....

Roadking

Aaaaw, well I don't know then!

Have you tried buying the DVD?
