Download Help (Not Connecting to Seeds)
« on: January 01, 2008, 06:43:21 PM »

Sometimes when I download a torrent, even though it's well seeded, Auzerus doesn't connect to any peers. :grrr: Anybody know how to stop this?

Not sure.  It could be because of settings on the seeders machines.  I have my client set to ONLY allow encrypted connections.  My ISP will terminate everything else, so it's really the only way epople will connect anyway.  There are also max connections that seeder can set and maybe they have just exceeded their number of connections.

I would make sure your client tries an encrypted transfer first and fall back to non encrypted and see if that helps.  Other than that, there might not really be a lot you can do.  Make sure your firewall is allowing connections in, etc.  But all that stuff needs to be done regardless...
