DHT not ready error

Post by thesimpsons666 »

When ever I try to download a torrent on my macbook it just sits there and does nothing. In the Messege log it just keeps saying
DHT not ready (broken, 0 nodes)
tracker response: 0

I have checked all my firewall allows incoming transmission connections and checked my settings with my girlfriends macbook and they are the same... but mine doesn't work wtf?
please help

A well-known tracker is currently broken. Usually, this is compensated for by the DHT, but it looks like your DHT has not bootstrapped yet.

Please download some popular torrent from a working tracker for a few minutes (I recomment the OpenOffice or the Ubuntu torrents for that), which will bootstrap your DHT. After you see a debugging message that says ``Starting DHT announce (...)'', you can remove the torrent from transmission -- the DHT will have been bootstrapped, and will be working for all torrents.
