      Tracker information says Not Working with description no such host is known.

      Why would that be? Would appreciate the help.

        @Nothinglose The most likely explanation is that the torrent has been deleted from the site - maybe because it was a duplicate, it was subject to a DCMA strike, or perhaps some other rule infringement.

        Find the original torrent you downloaded. With qBittorrent, it's easy: Simply click on the "General" tab, and there's usually a link to it. Visit that link. If it takes you to a "This page doesn't exist" page then it has most likely been zapped. Nothing you can do about this, so delete the torrent from your client.

        If your client doesn't have this info, simply search for the torrent on the site. If you can no longer find it, again, that's because it no longer exists.

        Other opinions are also available. They're not right, obviously, but they are available.

          @Nothinglose "no such host ia known" is a DNS error, it means your network is failing to find the IP address of the site.

          If you're using a VPN, try connecting to a different location, or check the settings to see if there's an option to use a custom dns server.

          If you don't have a VPN, you need to change the dns server in your network adapter's settings.

          You can set your DNS to 8.8.8.8 (Google DNS) or 1.1.1.1 (Cloudflare DNS)

          Once again I'd like to remind everyone that it's not mandatory that you speak.

            @ianfontinell You were right I cannot resolve the name of the tracker. Tried Google and CF DNS but still didn't work. Might be related with ISP so will check that.

            Thanks a lot.

              @Nothinglose This could be a sign that your ISP is DNS filtering. A VPN will get around this unless they also use a good DPI system to block it. If that's the case, you need a VPN with a stealth feature, which uses a DPI firewall.
