Bit torrent FAQ

Post by PainRack »

Is there any good websites for such a faq? I found two, but they're a bit too technical for me. :(

Is there any one that most particularly address stuff like the remarks that pop up saying something like "Problem connecting to tracker-urlopen error 06(Connection refused)

That bit means that you either need to sign up for the tracker (goto the tracker adress) or that the tracker is down.

Also I would recomend that you use a client like azureus. If you wait a bit I will put up a guide to it that might help.

EDIT: I also did not make this I just got it from some site a long time ago

I get that, the download usually restarts itself though after a bit... Just means the tracker is down

what tracker are you using? the default one sucks ass, but trackers like BitTornado and BitSpirit are pretty decent.

Those are clients not trackers..

Thanks. I'm actually have both Azureus and bittorrent on my com, although I have difficulty in making Azureus my default client. I read that file in a day time, got to go to work soon.:(
