AD Posted May 4, 2007 Report Share Posted May 4, 2007 i don't know if this is an software problem, a hardware problem, or rogers fucking up my shit, but anyone else recently (in the past 24 hours) have problems seeding anything? all my torrents are 'offline' not reporting to the tracker, be it oink or a public tracker. every single torrent is offline, after many reboots and restarts, checking for updated software, re-doing the static ip and all that. i'm still connectable according to uttorent and the oink connection checker.anyone know if rogers has begun a new reign of terror over their users who use torrents?

Kanada Kev Posted May 4, 2007 Report Share Posted May 4, 2007 (edited) Rogers is notorious for traffic shaping with their network. Dirty bastards. You can talk to them until they are blue in the face, but they will deny it. They cap you when they find out you are running torrent, or P2P, software. So, you pay for a service and they don't give it to you. A buddy of mine at work gave up after trying everything with Rogers. He no longer does much with torrents and instead paid $13 for unlimited (even though it says it's not) data downloading via usenets through this portal: http://www.newscene.com/pricing.html He can get a ton of shit there and his speeds are blazing. Sorry, i know that doesn't really help with the great torrent sites that cater to live music Edited May 4, 2007 by Guest Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AD Posted May 4, 2007 Author Report Share Posted May 4, 2007 i can download and upload, but every torrent says the tracker is offline.since this started, i've downloaded 3 movies and 2 tv shows. i've also uploaded about 100 MB to oink. But according to oink i'm not seeding anything, and according to utorrent everything is offline. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hendershot Posted May 5, 2007 Report Share Posted May 5, 2007 I'm having the EXACT same issue. I can still download but it says the tracker is offline. No clue what the problem might be, but you're not the only one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cANDYmAN Posted May 5, 2007 Report Share Posted May 5, 2007 If using Azureus, turn on encription. As well, you'll need to port forward to avoid nasty NAT/firewall issues and increase you overall speed. And... get peerguardian and update the ip lists... it'll block out any annoying IPs. Finally, ditch rogers already!!Hope that helps. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Esau. Posted May 5, 2007 Report Share Posted May 5, 2007 Yep..encryption and peergaurdian would probally help. I use encryption with utorrent but haven't needed peerguardian yet as my speeds are pretty damn good with my ISP, who also doesn't seem to concerned about P2P use by the conversations I've had with their tech support. (They assisted me solving a speed issues with BT) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AD Posted May 5, 2007 Author Report Share Posted May 5, 2007 well for me, everything is acting normally again, trackers are reporting properly and things are just humming along. was a one day bug it looks like.i have everything set up properly w.r.t. port forwarding, utorrent settings, peer guardian etc. no changes there for months.would love to ditch rogers*, but really i haven't had much trouble with them and they're my only hope in my building. (* - i use a rogers line through a re-seller) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
