Fisbane Posted December 24, 2021 Share Posted December 24, 2021 So I have been using bitcomet for years now without any issues up until about a week or so ago. Now any torrent I attempt to download even tho it says connected to at least 1 seed and multiple peers still sits at 0% for 6 hours or more. I am used to getting episodes/movies/software in minutes. I do use PeerBlock along with it which has never given me issues, however the latest version will not install for some reason so I am using version 1.78. Running windows 10 pro Decent enough hardware unfortunately no access to the router any longer Definitely enough hard drive space Any help much appreciated Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rhubarb Posted December 29, 2021 Share Posted December 29, 2021 The installation failure could be down to your A/V objecting to the installer app (it thinks it's a Trojan). Turn off the A/V for the installation and turn it back on once it's done It sounds (as you have lost access to the router) that you are being blocked - you could try different ports to see if you can get round that but with 64K of possible port numbers, I doubt if that will work Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fisbane Posted January 2 Author Share Posted January 2 Well I was able to install the most recent version with no change to my issue. I also changed the port setting to random port each time it opens and still no change. Any other suggestions? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rhubarb Posted January 2 Share Posted January 2 It['s still possible that you are blocked on the router. Type ipconfig in a command prompt to get info (do NOT post the WAN address here) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fisbane Posted January 2 Author Share Posted January 2 I'm posting 2 screenshots 1 is the non progress of a torrent after about an hour or so running and the other is the ipconfig Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rhubarb Posted January 2 Share Posted January 2 You need to set a fixed IP with ports open in the router to match the ports on the computer I repeat - if you are denied access to the router, then you are probably being blocked and there is nothing that can be done unless your network manager allows it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fisbane Posted January 4 Author Share Posted January 4 Just curious since I need to do this anyway would reinstalling windows 10 64bit possibly fix my issue? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rhubarb Posted January 4 Share Posted January 4 I doubt if a clean install of windows will help. As I said, if you are being denied access to the router, it's possible you have been blocked. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
