First if this topic is forbidden then mods, please remove it. Now to the question...some torrents i have have stopped dead..no idea why. Can somebody suggest what the problem might be?

No seeders?

What are the health statistics reporting? Is NAT ok showing?

I've found that a reboot actually helps the unexplained stoppage. Has happened twice. I don't reboot Vista unless absolutely necessary so it could be weeks for me sometimes.

probably there are none.

If these torrents all have tons of connections I like to limit the amount that hits my router. Seems my router chokes on anything over 30000.

If there are no seeders then you cannot download anything.

he can still download from leechers but not likely the complete torrent.

The fbi have stopped them and are on the way to arrest you.

Most commonly this happens towards the end of the download. There are many more people who have the first part and less that have the full part. Mainly because people don't seed.

Be a friend, seed for the needy!

Use a VPN and use Peerguard and add the Taiwan and China block lists. You will need to name the list extensions to .p2p and add to the peerblock's list folder. Then in peerblock add the lists. I had this when I was hosting a Teamspeak server, but the thin client hard drive died and now I'm using a netbook that is on 24/7 to host Teamspeak and just added a server password. I should run peerblock on the netbook again since I'm port forwarded and block Russia, China and the Arab countries as I have no use for them. I personalty have no use for the south pacific rim either. I do have IPtables in the router that will block xmas attacks and shit though.

Anyway I have my router flashed with a third party firmware called DD-WRT and I can control the connections and TCP congestion control algorithm used. I have it currently set to 4096 connections and a time out of 120 seconds. It used to be 15 seconds. The congestion algorithm was set to Vegas but I changed to bic and now I get better pings when I test my network speed.

It could also be the half open connection limit. https://social.technet.microsoft.co...-to-eula-file-sharing?forum=w7itpronetworking

Could be your router.

I never have to port forward BTW. uTorrent uses peer exchange so no need and I can seed. Port forwarding is asking for trouble. Shit. I was so paranoid using torrents I would use utorrent in VMware. LOL. A good firewall should be used and in uTorrent untick the allow change to windows firewall then go into windows firewall and untick input for uTorrent. Nothing should have input connections only outbound. This is what I do and I'm able to download at 2 MB/S. I also increased the number of connections in uTorrent to around a 1,000. LOL

If TPB doesn't have it Kick ass torrents will. :twisted:
