Unable to download with Torrent Client using desktop

[Zangetsu]

As I told earlier I have a laptop using which I can download from the same site which I can't using my dekstop.

private torrents use IP address to track the users???

Was that a question or a statement!

^^ahem..a question...

asingh, one of the options which you are asking me to disable says Enable Peer Exchange.
I think this option needs to be selected.

I have been using private torrents for long time now and have registration for it. As I told earlier I have a laptop using which I can download from the same site which I can't using my dekstop.

I guess will have to compare the torrent client settings on both desktop and laptop
and make the necessary changes

Most of the PT tracker forums request for that setting to be OFF. Cause it causes circumvention logic being sent to their servers, which is equal to cheating.

private torrents use IP address to track the users???

Usually they track the pass key being sent from clients. Can be any IP. But they recommend against using same .torrent file on multiple IPs. Not that directly bound to IPs.

I have checked both the settings, laptop and desktop look similar to me.
I don't think I have any other option left but to reinstall the OS.

Is UDP added as an exception on your firewall. Try once with the firewall and virus client turned off. Kill them all from the task manager.

Hold onto the clean install.

In my case the firewall or the antivirus should be stopping only this specific torrent.
Could that be the case?

^^
Is it happening ONLY for on .torrent. Or is generic..>?

 

[ajayritik]

Only Torrents

 

[asingh]

That is what I said, while running a torrent disable firewall and virus client and try.

 

[ajayritik]

Tried disabling Firewall and antivirus. Still doesn't help
Also uninstalled Bit Torrent and installed u Torrent. Still doesn't work.

And on the same connection node you can DL using your workstation but not your laptop..?

Some Private Sites, maintains Seed TO Peer Ratio - and lets you download torrents, only if you have gud Seed TO Peer Ratio Value [i.e., You have a good Seeding Ratio] :O

It's completely other way around.
I'm able to download almost everything using the same connection with a laptop.
However unable to download from some torrent sites using my desktop.

Tried almost everything now.

Looks like I have to go for a reinstall of OS.

 

[asingh]

You on a wifi router....?

Yes. you are right

 

[asingh]

Are the ports forwarded correctly. Try that...!

Just google it out.

One more thing. I had disabled the firewall successfully however when I tried to disable the antivirus it said it's still running in background.
Also on the laptop I don't have a firewall and the antivirus that I have on the laptop is AVG.

So I guess maybe I should try uninstalling the firewall and antivirus from my desktop and trying.

Also will look into the port forwarding thing.


One more point earlier I had a BSNL connection for which I didn't have the Wireless router but still we had the same issue.

Anyways will google more on port forwarding.

 

[ajayritik]

One of the steps in port forwarding requires me to go to the router page and give some details like user name password. I think need to check with airtel folks about these details.

Oner more thing I observed is when I visit this site with which I'm having problems downloading, the page doesnt open often it requires continous refresh. This happens only on desktop.
