torrents does not start

Thu Apr 04, 2013 7:45 pm
Hi,

When I add torrents they stay in paused forever.
I can see it is connected to the tracker, I can the the number of peers, but the download does not starts.
I use the Upnp module, and my router tell me the ports are correctly opened.

If I launch the same torrent in Transmission it works well.

KTorrent version : 4.3.1

When you look at the torrents, it should show how many peers there are in parentheses, and how many seeders in parentheses, but to the left of the parentheses it should show how many you are connected to. I don't use UPnP, I do it manually, but if the ports are open you should be able to connect to them. If you have a blocklist, that could be a factor. Some of the people you are connecting to in Transmission may be in that blocklist.
Also if torrents are paused they will stay paused. You have to start them. Click on them and click start.

Hi,

The "pause" status is not very clear : in fact when a torrent is not connected to any peer, it is in "pause" state, but it's not the same state than when I click on the pause button.

I don't have any block list, and I can see 70 seeders, but 0 connected to, after several minutes.
By the way, this is a private tracker, I don't know if it changes anything.

Hello,

I have the same problem, and I searched for torrents with a lots of seeds but nothing start.
I don't really understand, cause sometimes, it work but sometimes not...

Actually, just one torrent work, and all the others that I add later don't want to start. When I found the torrents, they was at 90 or 120 seeds, but in ktorrent all is at 0.

One thing also is the only torrent who work is green and the others orange, so with a low priority. Is it because of that ? I don't find how to change the priority ...

I search also for the blocklist but I didn't find. Can you say me where is it ?

Last thing I can say is all the torrents are started, not in pause or anything else.

Thank's a lot.

And also on thing again, when I go in tracker (hopefully it write like this in english, I'm french), ktorrent say to me :

- acces denied, download forbidden, you're just allowed to share.

So, when I actualize the trackers, he said me OK, but after a few minutes, it start again to say acces denied blablabla ...

When I try with Transmission-QT, same thing, I'm just allowed to share !!

Someone have an idea ?

Thank's

You'll need to contact the administrators of the tracker - the torrent probably cannot start because it cannot find peers to download from. This information is usually provided by the tracker, but in this case it is refusing to do so (your ratio is too low perhaps?).
