Check your client settings and see if it is set to automatically add newly downloaded torrent files. I get this sometimes if I accidentally download the .torrent file twice. What happens is you get 2 copies of the .torrent file in you downloads folder in Windows. When I delete a download from my client it's set to also delete the .torrent file. What can happen is that if there's a duplicate in the watched download folder it will immediately pick that up and start downloading it.

@Boy61 said in How can I download a video on a Macbook ?: I tried to download a video, unfortunately it didn't work. Why is that? Only an empty file was downloaded. In torrenting: you need a client, seeder and peers to complete the process before you can view the file where default download folder is ... In web-server: wait for complete download, before you can access the file ... [make sure to know where your default download location] ...

@john32123666 Thanks for the information and suggestions, I'll give it a try

@hols said in Add torrent to Transmission: I'm not able to add some torrents to Transmission. I download the torrent file and when I doubleclick on it, nothing happens. Here are two examples: https://www.gaytor.rent/details.php?id=c8de2508c58819d784bef3447447c583205ae79a50341f96 https://www.gaytor.rent/details.php?id=4c10d4cad1b99de284bef3447447c5838e4f1ee3eef6d8fd Thanks in advance for any help you can provide. You may need to open Transmission and either use the button in the toolbar, or use the menus to be able to open the torrent file from within Transmission itself.

Seems to be related to specific torrents, as the top1 most seeded torrent worked OK.

@solytarry Torrents with very few seeders can take quite a while to start downloading, it depends on many factors, it's not just a matter of them being connected. Just keep it started in the client and it will download eventually.

@solytarry said in torrent file not downloading: the torrent file is not downloading and it just leads me to a empty page that somewhat contains download.php Sign in from both links and save your passwords ... https://www.gaytor.rent/ | https://www.gaytor.rent/ the site owner is working on this ... if you'll getting an error message refresh and go back and you will be redirected ...

sometimes unwanted files are distributed w/o knowing ... this happens occasionally when torrent has not been fully completed as part of others are leeching [this is normal] ... and distributed the files w/o your knowledge ... even though it affects download size it will not count against download/ratio, it is part of parsing [where a string of commands – usually a program – is separated into more easily processed components, which are analyzed for correct syntax and then attached to tags that define each component.] ... you can delete this files when download is complete ... however do not delete this file [as part of partial download] while partially seeding otherwise it will result in error ...

Sigh. Ridder Rivera. May he R.I.P.

@Kuteku I checked your account and there is no reason (punishment or restriction) for you not to be able to download.

@zxcnice2332 This means none of the seeders are able to upload any piece of the torrent to your client because they are disconnected at the moment or because there is no seeder at all, meaning the torrent is dead. If you check the torrent page and it shows that there is at least one seeder, then you just need to keep your app running and eventually it will start to download, it might even take days. Just to clear any confusion, the availability indicates which pieces YOU have available for other people to download from, if it's all red that means you don't have any, and that is a consequence of not having anyone actively seeding at the moment.

The reason why you can't connect [due to limited peers/bandwidth] multiple process of torrent download/upload ... stop and remove/delete the torrent [not the file] and re-download here do a force start/resume ... Open Options/Preferences - Connection change your port ranging from [6881 - 6889] default ...

@john32123666 Oh, John, now WORKS!! I really really appreciate it. Thanks for your time, do you now what happened?

@john32123666 A very good observation

Those nos @ left are the seeds/peers connected to you ... Those nos @ right inside (bracket) are the nos of swarm ... Swarm. Together, all peers (including seeds) sharing a torrent are called a swarm. For example, six ordinary peers and two seeds make a swarm of eight.

@tlkoss501 said in Bad Torrents: Spritzz - Best of Berlin Male 3 - Straight Secrets.mp4 I downloaded this one torrent & had absolutely no issues. You might try browsing to the file location vs. using the torrent client to open the file? Or use the torrent client to "recheck" the download? Also, check file space on the drive!

@eobox91103 I have the same experience as you with .ru and .rent torrents. All seem to be working correctly. @bi4smooth The .ru name was recently renewed long-term, so I don't think there's a near-term problem with existing torrents ceasing to function. everyone: remember, please, that what changed is just the name used to access the site and tracker. The servers, databases, tracker, and everything are the same no matter which name is used. There is not a second, duplicated infrastructure to support the new name.

@kalayaan YES ... Thank You Very Much !!! ... seeding is now consistent [case close] ... jhon
