It only works half the time

Post by macguy123 »

Hey. When I try and download something, it only works about half the time. It says there is 0 seeders but I'm getting the torrents with the most (like 250). What am I doing wrong? If you need more information about my problem I will gladly answer your questions.

If it's a public torrent, add "http://tracker.tracker.example.com/announce" to your list of trackers.

Is it dangerous to do that, will I get a virus?

Are there any firewalls active? Is your ISP known to block BitTorrent traffic? You can try changing your port and forcing encryption. Opening the port will also allow incoming peers.
