I am trying to utorrent on my new machine at my house... I use bittornado at work. When i try using utorrent here I get the message "Connection closed by peer" as the status for the tracker when I try to download any file.. I am unable to connect to anybody. Any help on this is appreciated.

check if u r firewall is blocking utorrent.......

I tried the utorrent test... It can connect back to my client.. but I am not able to connect to the tracker at all.... I tried even manual announce. doesnt seem to work.

have u tried what sahithi said? & r u using a router?

I am behind a router and I have done the port forwardings...

and given that port that u forwarded in utorrent?? remember to uncheck the option that says randomize ports everytime utorrnet starts.

I have done that too... Its always the same port 32549... thats the port number...

If I am using random ports it should affect me being unconnectable to other peers. But I should be able to connect to the tracker. Here i am getting this error when I try connecting to the tracker.

Try manually Connecting to the Tracker....

Right click the torrent file in ur Client ....and Click on manually update....

or if this doesnt Work ...Try Disabling ur Firewall.....

or if this dint work out ....

Reinstall ur client , Give it a proper port B4 downloading Anythin, Set that Port in your client also, (CAUTION).....The Ports Should Be same.....


if this also dint work....thn Report Back to school(here)

I tried the following...

1> Manually announced... basically manually update the tracker... I still get the same error.
2> I disabled windows XP firewal... no effect even then
3> I tried another client... Azureus... still the same problem... I dont like using azureus as my computer starts to crawl..
4> Redownloaded utorrent... no effect at all...

hmmmmmm.....R u facing any Virus ..or having... Scan ur computer once

No virus... I am sure of that... I scan my computer every weekend.... I am not able to understand whats happening.

What I dont understand is that the tracker is using only http connections right. I mean the response of the tracker would be in the same open connection that the client opened. If that is the case I dont suppose I need to forward port 6969 also to my computer back. That port isnt forwarded. I really dont understand whats happening here.

ask ur isp mayb they banned port 6969 i'v heard in sum iSP's they hav banned port 6969

I dont the port is blocked as I am able to telnet to port 6969 of dctorrent.com. Which means the port is not blocked.

I think utorrent has had some very complicated issues with these [ports] kind of problems ! Should check to see if your router if you use one has port forwarding on it ! Also note that some modems also have port configuration on them !

Good luck with your problem !
