agoodguy Posted October 8, 2006 Share Posted October 8, 2006 Hi, I am new and just downloaded bitcomet 0.73. And am trying to download a game torrent that is 11 mb large. It says connecting and doesnt start downloading at all. I dont got a firewall running and im not on a router. Thanks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dark_Shroud Posted October 8, 2006 Share Posted October 8, 2006 Ok two things. First, ditch BC 0.73 and get 0.70. Second, that game is probably a fake if its only 11mb. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
agoodguy Posted October 8, 2006 Author Share Posted October 8, 2006 Alright, im downloading one thats 50 mb,im downloading in parts. Total is .99 GB. So im downloading a 50 mb one then when that ones done ill downloaded the other parts. And it still says connecting, but on the bottom this shows up: is it downloading or not? Im on .70 now.

The UnUsual Suspect Posted October 8, 2006 Share Posted October 8, 2006 The answer is in your screenshot. It lists a tracker error, but your gonna have to move your colums to view the entire error, but I think its a private tracker, so you will need to go to the web site and redownload the torrent after registering. The torrent you have was picked up from some sites search engine, and posted, but that torrent will only work for the orignal downloader. Please note that I could be wrong, as I cannot fully read the error message. Suspect Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
agoodguy Posted October 8, 2006 Author Share Posted October 8, 2006 So I should go to the website in the error? Heres another picture, expanded: Thats as far as I can expand it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The UnUsual Suspect Posted October 8, 2006 Share Posted October 8, 2006 yes, you need to register with that site and redownload the torrent. Also make sure the tracker allows bit comet, since a couple previous versions were used by some people to download private torrents by forcing our dht options to connect. Even though this issue has long be corrected, there are still some private trackers that still don't allow bit comet, so check. If they do not allow, feel free to tell them that all current versions of bit comet CANNOT force dht connections, so perhaps they will reconsider. As a last resort, you can use Utorrent, which is also an excellant client. It doesn't have nearly as many functions as bit comet, but is very lean in its memory usage.

kluelos Posted October 8, 2006 Share Posted October 8, 2006 Not using a firewall puts your system at great risk for being taken over and used to serve spam and DDOS attacks. You need a firewall. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
agoodguy Posted October 8, 2006 Author Share Posted October 8, 2006 I went to the site to try and register, but it asks me to pay. So I didnt. So I got Utorrent and installed it. And it doesnt download again. Do I need a tracker? How to I get one without paying? Thanks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dark_Shroud Posted October 11, 2006 Share Posted October 11, 2006 If they force members to pay then they're a scam site. Do a search for the game here Torrentz.com, if they don't work try Isohunt. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
