@pmrrk check the tracker message in your client: [image: 1749269072466-649cccf2-ec7f-48bb-b6d7-e5d6f752f1cb-image.png] this is the first step to find out what is wrong, and come up with a solution.

@Rimmer69 said in Downloads stopped working since yesterday (April 22nd).: Please disregard - I found out what the problem is. Please tell us how you fixed it. Same problem here

@ianfontinell-0 Hi. Sorry for the very late reply, it's been crazy for the past few weeks. I've been using Nord for a while and never had any problems with it until 2 days after I posted this issue. Thank you for your help! It's working now, but the only method that worked is that I have to reinstall my Nord and Qbit.

@ianfontinell-0 It actually worked! I'm so excited and happy cause it took me so long and I almost got desperate. Thank you a million

@fresh2death8-0 pause all your other torrents, even the ones that are seeding. sometimes you don't download all files from a torrent, so you never become a seeder. you finish downloading the files you picked and are able to seed it, but in the system still count as a leecher. when you keep the torrent active in this circumstance, it consumes one download slot. pausing everything else and waiting up to 30 minutes will reset your download slots and the torrent will start.

God damn. Oh well. It would be cool to have my own torrents available for myself.

Usually invalid download state means that the torrent ran into an error the last time you had your torrent client open, usually that there are file(s) supposedly missing. Data is Invalid is usually a sign that when it completed a file, it did not remove the .!ut from the end of the file name, so it thinks the file is not there, as it was reported as 100% downloaded, but the file was not renamed to remove the partial status from the end of the file name. In both cases, Force Re-Check, then starting the torrent will fix this.

@frostycab excellent advice as I likewise leave it. Afterall once I download the file it will remain so there is no harm only a gain to leave a file still working on completion. It is my wish that others are getting this concept bc so many "sign up" then delete as soon as they receive a "system message"

@tommykrenke it doesnt need a re-seed, it has many seeders. you can try to request a freeleech here: https://community.gaytor.rent/topic/61578/seedbonus-pooling-to-make-torrents-freeleech make sure to make it clear that you're requesting a freeleech because of the torrent size

@Boizi We don't allow re-seed requests in the forums. Use the re-seed request button on the torrent page.

you can re-post here : so staff can evaluate ... https://community.gaytor.rent/topic/61578/seedbonus-pooling-to-make-torrents-freeleech/341

The tracker is not unreachable according to your screenshot, here's what it looks like when the tracker is working: [image: 1739138688130-e7105c2b-85e1-4aa2-a5b5-1ef90397d53e-image.png] Only the IPv4 address matters, which is the one starting with "192.168" All other IPs will report "unreachable" and only one will connect. In your case, the status is "tracker error" but your client does not show the tracker message. When the tracker status reports any error, the tracker message explains why it's not working. In your case, since your seeding torrents are working normally, and your ratio is okay, you're most likely being restricted from downloading due to simultaneous download limit. Go to https://www.gaytor.rent and check the header stats: [image: 1739138994822-ad06de21-b633-4715-8e73-579e5981fc13-image.png] It shows how many torrents are flagged as "leeching", in my example it is zero but for you it will likely be higher. Click the number, scroll down and click "show leeching torrents" to see the list. Go back to your torrent client and pause those torrents. It can take several minutes for the tracker to update, when the number of leeching torrents drop your downloads will start automatically.

Also have in mind that this type of error could be temporary and last just a few days, because your public IP changes dinamically, you can have been assigned a IP that was flagged by the tracker's firewall for some reason, and eventually when this IP changes, you might be able to access the tracker without a VPN.

@thevofl Nevermind. It's fixed. I have no idea what I did to correct the situation. Things are just working once again.

I posted in the thread you pointed me to, the torrent got goldened and I was able to snatch it. Thanks for the tip, ianfontinell 0! ( P.S.: I still think this thread could be useful to others ) See you around!

The no-cookie RSS feed stopped working a long time ago, the site owner was made aware of this, if it's still not working it'll likely stay like that. Here is an example of how links are served in the no-cookies XML file: https://www.gaytor.rent/download.php?id=TORRENTID&rss=1&n=TORRENTNAME.torrent&k=PASSKEY amp; appears twice, that was likely a failed attempt to fix a previous parsing error. Although the rest of the URL is fine, this duplication causes an identation error, so the RSS feed can be read but downloads won't work. If you really want to use the RSS, set the login type to standard, and add the uid/pass cookies in your torrent client. For qbittorrent, the option is in Tools > Manage Cookies [image: 1732823691819-a73ec0fe-e708-455a-bf2d-4ee56072ab9b-image.png] You can find your uid/pass cookies in the developer tools or using a browser extension.

I have downloaded this torrent now. Thank you for anyone who have reseeded this.
