Torrent stuck on downloading

Turn off proxy, wait for metadata to download, turn on proxy and it keeps downloads. The proxy used is privateinternetaccess. I've been having this issue since like 3. I just updated to 4. I selected "Use different port on each startup" and it the torrents immediately moved from downloading metadata to downloading. Having the same issue with proxy on windows Thanks, as a fix that works for me until a proper fix comes along I'm using Qbittorrent-VPN docker.

Was working fine for me at first. I'm currently running Ubuntu Server Sonarr grabs the show, passes the magnet url to qbittorrent, and qbittorrent downloads the show. First test worked fine, except that after download, Sonarr could not access the download location So to possibly fix this, I created a folder in a publically accessible location, and changed permissions so everyone and their grandmother could access it I am NOT using a proxy.

But if I enable proxy without giving it any real proxy info, it will go away from the 'metadata' thing, and go into 'downloading' but does nothing. Once I switch back to 'none' for proxy, it then downloads a few bytes of data, then nothing. Still says "downloading" but nothing is actually being downloaded. At this point, the people going "this is an upstream issue" need to actually think about what's going on I remember I used to use it on windows as my main torrent downloader, but moved away from it ages ago and couldn't remember why I did, but figured that whatever made me want to move away must have been fixed by now Check your rate limits.

If your rate limits for upload are set to 0, then change them to something reasonable. After doing this, everything immediately started downloading, and all the stalled downloads restarted. Now though, I'm not sure if this is what they're referring to as an 'upstream issue', as I was under the impression that when they kept saying 'upstream issue' they were talking about the code being uploaded to the PPA and thus being what gets 'downloaded' to the community Although, with all this said, I do seem to still have an issue with a single download, as the download speed is unusually slow compared to everything else I'm not sure if this is just because out of all the files I've tested, this one happens to be the 'newest' as it was just uploaded today I was having the same problem here, but as you commented before about changing ports I looked for on qb and found the option to use a different port every time it initializes and it worked for me!

Hope it was helpful! I just got this problem again, and i notice this warning at the bottom of the window. But i click and goes to the Connection Tab but i don't know what to change there. It's hard to fix a bug that no one within the team is able to replicate and also seems to affect users upstream too. Just thought I'd add: I'm using qBittorrent-nox 4.

Then navigate to the uTorrent folder and delete the file named resume. The culprit can be uTorrent settings such as ports not working, you can run a quick test and let uTorrent adjust its settings automatically. Some of the configurations of uTorrent will interfere with your internet connection, thus causing the uTorrent not downloading issues.

Here is how to fix it:. This can check if this issue is related to a network problem. If all of these fail to solve your problem, then the problem might be your torrent file — dead torrent no Seeds. Because uTorrent downloading is based on Peers to Peers connection downloading files from other computers , the seeds decrease and the Torrent file becomes dead and impossible to download.

You can search for an alternative torrent file with more seeds in one of these Torrent Websites:. Did the fixes above solve your uTorrent not downloading? A good way around this is to use port forwarding or port mapping.

You can set up port forwarding to forward traffic to the BitTorrent ports to your PC and vice versa , allowing uTorrent to make a stable connection. When a uTorrent gets stuck on connecting to peers, it could point to a problem with your network configuration. BitTorrent has a reputation—and not a very good one. To most people, it means illegal file sharing, which is why internet service providers will where possible block and severely limit the capability of users downloading or uploading BitTorrent files.

Many users will prefer to use a virtual private network VPN to bypass ISP restrictions or to maintain their anonymity while downloading or sharing BitTorrent files. Check with your VPN provider and, if it does offer BitTorrent-friendly servers, make sure to connect to these when using uTorrent to download or share your files. The setup process can be a bit tricky, and in some cases could lead to torrents not downloading at all.

Try setting it up from scratch again. You may need to open the port manually port for many services. Try enabling DHT in your client settings. A torrent Tracker is responsible for keeping an updated list of peers sharing the file. Your torrent client should update the tracker periodically, but sometimes it gets stuck. Here in the USA, most of the major Internet Service Providers have been caught throttling traffic at one time or another.

And BitTorrent traffic is frequently targeted for throttling. The result is slow, unreliable torrent downloads.
