@sfbayboy1981-0 each ISP has their own firewall settings that block incoming connections based on different criteria. The ISP and server firewalls are not the only culprits here, as each peer has their own set of firewall rules and, in addition to that, each peer's torrent client has its own policies regarding to how incoming connections are treated. Having a different DNS might result in the connection performing a different route that will go through different servers (thus different firewalls) and this could impact on the success (or failure) of the connection. With VPNs it is exactly the same principle, a different route, but this time much more aggresively different. Both leads to the same outcome but have different probabilities of having a positive effect. Overall switching your DNS provider or using a VPN migh end up clearing the way for connecting with peers that otherwise you wouldn't be able to, but the opposite of this is also true, this might end up blocking you from connecting to peers that normally you would be able to reach.

@manrmen-0 I think Mod MrMazda can help you since he also lives in Canada

I'm having this same issue, so I removed a few leeching torrents from my client but they're still occupying space on the website, even after I shut down qBittorent completely

The tracker* sorry

@lololulu19 It is with good reason you shouldn't trust 3.6.0... It has compatibility issues with many sites and trackers, including ours. For this reason, we do no recommend updating it to anything newer than any of the builds of 3.5.5.

@nancledra53 If you look in your client and see "Error: unregistered torrent" or similar in the status column then that torrent has been deleted. That's your notification. All is not necessarily lost though. If the remaining swarm contains any seeders (or enough leechers with all the individual parts) you still have a chance of completing the download. When a torrent gets deleted from the site it stops anyone new from joining the swarm, but it has no ill effects on an existing swarm. It doesn't happen very often as people usually kill the download as soon as they see it's been deleted, but I've managed to finish a few files this way in the past. My advice is to keep them running in your client for a week or 2 if you can just to give them a chance.

Torrents need to be at least 7 days old before they can be freeleeched. The point of freeleech is not to fix your ratio, it's too keep torrents alive. You can fix your ratio through freeleech but it's not easy or fast. If you need to boost your ratio quickly, upload your own torrents.

@AlexDemand It usually takes a few minutes for the tracker to update after you delete a torrent from your client.

@ianfontinell said in Unable to download (access permissions): @gerggently try using a different and more up to date client. qbittorrent or transmission, for instance. Using latest qBittorrent If the issue with new torrents persist, I'd recommend you to copy a magnet to one of the old torrents you have from the same tracker (tracker.gaytor.rent) and add it to that different client just to see if it connects just fine. I already noted that I changed the announce URL for all my GTRU torrents to the non-SSL http URL and they are now all working fine. I would just prefer to use the SSL version for security reasons and when I was last on the tracker having SSL switched on and using the https announce URL I had no issues. All the old torrents continued to work with the https announce and it was only newly downloaded torrents that required me to use the non-SSL URL. That's why it's so baffling to me, if the ports were blocked in some way it should surely affect all the torrents and not just newly downloaded ones. If the tracker is precisely the same and the behavior of old and new torrents are also the same in different clients then there might be an issue with your GT account. I'm sure the mod here would've told me if they saw an issue with the account. I didn't bother trying another client and since issue seems largely resolved no there's no real need. If you end up having to update your passkey, you can manually add them to your client's old torrents, some clients even allow batch adding trackers so you can change all trackers at once. I shouldn't need to do something as drastic and when I collated all the torrents into one tracker URL there's over 2000(!) so changing them all wouldn't have been fun, but still doable I suppose

@ianfontinell thanks! i realized i have many active downloads.

@Harribal-0 I see your problem.... You're using the .rent domain over HTTP. To fix this, you need to either change it to https and remove the :2710 OR you need to change the domain to gaytorrent.tw This is why it is not working for you. You will still get a scrape error from the tracker as we do not support the scrape feature, but this should not affect your ability to download and seed torrents. It will only affect things when the torrent is not active in your torrent client.

@frostycab As far as I am aware, it is. The owner just recently did some fixes to it to make it work right again.

@MrMazda Yes sir, now i already finish downloading the torrent. Big Thanks !!!!

@lovemeyou-0 Good news your torrent in question : https://www.gaytor.rent/details.php?id=77d03c8a602f509d889730199b0dd33d7952cad5b2601a1d Is bumped and recycled now on Freelech ... Thanks to the GT staff who made it possible ...

@ianfontinell Ok, now it make sense.. I just have downloaded a new file and it worked! I feel like the girl who sent the photo of rearside of her credit card with the signmark deleted by nail solvent asking "O boy, what can I do to recover my card?"... Response was: "As long you posted id + expiration day + ccvv you don't have to worry about it. It's already empty". Thanks everybody!

@cinemacapman Yes.. I sometimes report problems. This one with the download showing an active download that resulted in no data was very surprising to me. I was wondering if anybody else noticed this ever happening. There is a similar problem that I found a fix for. Sometimes a download will just stop, or get extremely slow. Look at the TRACKER list. If the tracker field has gone blank, REMOVE the torrent (not the data, just the torrent), and then RELOAD the torrent. Usually that will resume the torrent where it left off and the tracker field will be filled in again.
