<![CDATA[BitTorrent stuck on "Finding Peers" with 11 Seeders Feeding Torrent]]>Hello All, Searching for some help if someone would be so kind. When I attempt to dl any torrent from GT.ru my BitTorrent client does not connect and is stuck at "Finding peers 0.0%". I am able to dl from other torrent sites. Any help would be greatly appreciated - I have been a GT member since 2013 and maintain a respectable share ratio. Thank you.

I can’t download any torrent. My ratio is fine.

I tried restarting the program and force downloading/fore reannouncing. It does not work.

The tracker says “not working”.

Edit: it’s working now just as I finish typing and about to hit send lol. Idk sometimes you just have to wait. It’s kinda buggy. Force downloading works sometimes but not always. Restarting the program could fix as well I noticed, but sometimes you have to wait a bit like what happened to me just now.

"Tracker gave HTTP response code 404 (Not Found)"

How do I fix this?

Sometimes you just have to wait. The site does have to undergo maintenance from time to time.

I think it's good that you post when you're getting errors (if it's not "site maintenance" then the admins need to know there is a problem)... but it's also unreasonable to assume that a "dark web" service that is free to you is going to have 99.999% availability! 😉

I made sure qbittorrent is fully updated and tried the "random port" suggestion above. I've done some help searching and just can't figure it out, which I hope it means it's something obvious right in front of my face.

I would try to google it further

"Port used for incoming connections" - press "Random"

This option should be available in all Bittorrent clients. You should look for it and try to see if it helps

I just tried the Force Download and sadly it still says "Finding Peers 0.0%" when I stop and just select start it says "Queued". Not sure why this issue is happening - it's only with GT.ru

Any other fixes you would share would be much appreciated.

Thanks for your time

That just happened to me. But I was seeding the file. It was really weird. I had to switch my VPN to a new city. That seemed to have done the trick.
