When using Azureus the download simply does not start.. and yes I do know there is a 48 hour waiting time for newbies at bitme, but not in Oink, the download wont start and I have the newest version of Azureus..



So which client should I use!??! :huh:

utorrent.

Now im only reccomending utorrent and nothing else. Everything else sucks comapred to this becuase all others have the same features but take up lots of memory.

This takes up less than 3MB when in the task tray. :D

be carefull. accourding to utorrent forum Oink's admins have a problem with utorrent and some members got expelled because they used it.

here you can find the ban clients list:
http://wiki.depthstrike.com/index.php/Tracker_Information#Key_Announce_Paramater_Requirement

µTorrent 1.1.7 and older - Abusive Announcing, Poor/incomplete announce implementation

so use :
µTorrent 1.2.0.0 and up

or
for better speed : Bitcomet 0.6

What Azureus version you are using?

Oink homepage contain this information:

There's a new Azureus out (2.3.0.6). If you install the latest Azureus but don't take the developers' advice and update your java, your client may be incompatible with our tracker. You can easily find out if you have the latest version of java by following this link.

If you didn't follow that ... If you update your Azureus, update your Java.

If that wouldn't work use Bitcomet.

i did update Azureus AND the Java.. i tried BitComet too and still no use.. i find this really frustrating......

i left azureus running for a week and it never downloaded.. didnt even connect to any seeders (and yes there WERE seeders....)

The problem is somewhere else, than just a torrent client. Maybe you firewall block the connection. Myself I use Outpost firewall with Blockpost and blockpost blocked my tracker connection request earlier. Try to change you firewall setting or shut it down and then try to connect with tracker.

but that doesnt make sense - why does it not block torrents from torrentspy and other public ones, but it blocks private ones!?

how would i find this setting on sygate??


thanks.. :)

I've been a member of Oink for a year and found that ABC works really well.

I invited a mate who uses az - he got banned for 'cheating' even tho' he wasn't trying to boost his ratio or 'owt.

I definitely recommend ABC for Oink.

Btw the problem you're having with other clients maybe to do with what port your BT client is using. Some are banned by various trackers and won't allow you to connect.

Change it to a different port or range of ports. I'm using a port > 50,000.

Feck knows :huh:

You changed the port, right? Perhaps PMing an admin there might be an idea. I'm clueless.
