unchoked peer but not interested
Posted: Thu Aug 12, 2010 6:02 pm
I just switched to Transmission from Lamewire. I have successfully downloaded a few torrents but the remaining ones that I have seem to be stuck.
I live in the middle of nowhere, way, way up north. Internet up here is somewhat slow and unreliable. When I first started using Transmission, I changed a bunch of the settings so that uploads would not slow down my already painfully slow downloads. Now, I don't seem to be able to download anything. I have some peers showing up but when I see their info, it says "You unchoked the peer, but the peer is not interested."
I have changed the settings back to allow uploads and seeding with no limits but that doesn't seem to allow me to access these peers. I realize now that blocking seeding was probably taboo and this might be a result of my previous settings.
Short of installing a program to change/block my ip address, how can I finish downloading the files that I have started?
