Why does orbot stop torrent downloads

Blocked Torrents Some Internet Providers try to block torrent traffic altogether. Comcast, for example, reportedly tried to block all upstream seeding torrent bandwidth.

This header is essential, it allows data to get routed to the correct destination, and the correct software program that is looking for that time of incoming data your torrent client. These headers also make it very easy for your internet provider to filter and block torrent data packets, while allowing the rest of your data to go through unblocked.

When you use a VPN, the encryption prevents your ISP from reading these headers, making it impossible to block torrents without blocking everything.

This causes your torrent speed to drop bigtime. Port forwarding is a big pain, and you have to reconfigure it everytime your router assigns a new internal ip address to your computer Argh. Pretty sweet! For more info about each of these companies, read our guide to the fastest VPNs for torrenting. For the rest of the issues, we can deal with them ourselves. If you have a Mbps internet connection, and you saw the Too many Torrents: Try limiting the number of active torrents and queue the rest.

Anything over active torrents is overkill and will hurt overall speeds and tax your processor and hard drive. To tell you I created a torrent there was no way to seed, I had to stop all the rest and create a singular exception. Now I'm having the opposite problem, all the downloaded files are seeding, makin my harddisk very noysy. I had to stop them that hurts!

Well just for feedback, it would be nice in a next version to have the possibility to decide the priority for the upload. If there will be no change torrent files will always soon get old and not be dowloadable anymore. I will ask to my provider a higher upload speed, with the fastest dsl wich has 20' kbits download they give only for upload, I actually have only , how I'm supposed to share my video and pictures done with my new samsung pixon 12?? Actually there are about 15 uploads running.

Cud it be because some have very low speed that they are just updating? Yes I have 55 kbit upload, but won't ever be able to upload what I downloaded if I continue downloading with speed between and kbits. I can confirm posts above in a little bit another way While you downloading torrent, the upload speed is OK, and number of peers as well. But as far as torrent download completes, ALMOST all peers with non-completed downloads disappearing almost instantly. After that connections do occurs but only occasionally, so uploading does not stops at all.

Just very rear peers connecting. Interesting thing, that these peers still can download from you on a high speed. So the problem is not in the upload speed, but in the number of peers connecting to your already downloaded torrent. This "problem" is known for me since long ago.

I just thought this is normal, seeds fighting for peers and only very few connections can be made. But why this begins just in the moment of torrent download completion? I have tried today 1. No matter which tracker is used. And I am pretty sure this is not for connection problems. No speed limitations. Now I am looking at the torrent with 23 seeds and 52 peers and no one single connection for an hours, just clean list of peers! Advanced settings in uTorrent allow it to start additional torrents if the active ones currently are going to slowly.

Your ISP probably kills peer connections when you're seeding. Torrents are downloaded to your computer piece by piece. Once complete, the pieces form a whole, but that is never achieved if the download never completes. Torrents that are stuck at 99 per cent completion can be extremely frustrating, as some can take days to download to that point and then not complete.

One cause for this problem is when the final pieces of the torrent are simply not available. Restaring the system is not possible, too. The shutdown process locks on the "Shutting down" screen, the hdd-led is still active. Just registered to say that I'm having exactly the same problem. With larger torrents. Windows 7 bit here also. I Lose speed, then it will not respond when I close, sometimes. Most of the time it just closes but then wont reopen, as it is still active in process hogging memory, close process then restart, it works fine then slows then locks and rinse and repeat.

Also Avast is picking up malware past 2 days when starting utorrent - inspsearch-comfavicon - ico coming up as malware. May be false postive as the problems with Utorrent predate warnning. Same issue. Also provide exception to utorrent. Also see if auto turn on app helps. Cupcake Apr 8, You must log in or sign up to reply here.
