I read somewhere to try plugging directly into modem. How might one go about blocking all ports but 43 and 80? Also unfortunately I am using windows so if that is out of your area of expertise that is fine but if not I have uncovered some more info. So I think the problem is unlikely that it is your internet connection. The only reliable method is to block by default all ports other than 43 and 80 for normal web traffic but this still does not stop someone from using torrent over port 43 and 80 and has other undesirable consequences. To expand on blocking torrent traffic, traditionally it is very hard because many traffic are encrypted so packet detection algorithms do not work well.
Hard to say without looking at the error/log files and knowing how your windows was setup. Also if for some reason the torrent clients (or your user) do not have write permission on the drive. Same sort of requirements apply to windows though: If for some reason the HDD is not mounted (think a removable drive that has been "safely removed") then you cannot write to it. To lower the risks, you should consider scanning for malware on your Windows PC on a regular basis.Yes I assume you were running Linux.
If you’ve got a large enough file to share, you could think about making your own torrent file to distribute it to your audience.ĭon’t forget to keep your PC safe when you’re using uTorrent, especially if you’re downloading torrent files from sources you don’t fully trust. BitTorrent isn’t just about downloading files, however. If your uTorrent is stuck on the “connecting to peers” error, these fixes should help you resolve the problem and get your torrent client working. If uTorrent can’t make a connection, it points to a problem with your internet connection or configuration, but if uTorrent itself is being blocked, then trying an alternative client could resolve the issue.
You can try options like qBittorrent for free on all major operating systems or, if you’d prefer to use a mobile BitTorrent client, you could download torrents on a smartphone using a client like Flud.
