BitTorrent Problem

Post by HemlockGrey »

I get an error on my torrent saying that there's been a problem connecting to the tracker and the operation has timed out. This is a large file, it's 91 percent done and I don't want to start all over. If I grab another torrent from another site (I got this one from a Suprnova mirror; I only know of Suprnova, its mirror, and LokiTorrent), and then download it into the folder left over by the other torrent, will it resume right where the old one left off?

Odd...it seems *all* my torrents from that site (Don Vito Torrent...evidently not a mirror after all) no longer work.

Still, is it possible to resume my one dl from where it left off?

If the two torrents are identical it should be ok.

it could be that your client is unfriendly with the site in question. Which bt client are you using?

Now some of my SuprNova and LokiTorrent torrents have the same "time out" problem. I'm using BitTornado...what the hell is wrong here?

Sounds like the tracker might be down.

try a different client such as G3 Torrent or Azureus and see if that does anything to the problem.
