i have shadows exp. bittorrent and a couple of days ago it was downloading and uploading files normally, now, it won't download a thing! here's the error thingy in red it gives me:

ERROR (TIME)

Problem connecting to tracker - <urlopen error (10061, &#39;Connection refused&#39;)>

:frusty: :frusty: :frusty:

at first, i thought it was the tracker, but after trying to download various files and getting the same error over and over again, i&#39;m pretty sure something&#39;s wrong. i tried uninstalling and reinstalling it again, no luck. should i just wait another week and then try downloading again (suprnova, other torrents, etc.) or is there a solution to this problem? bittorrent 3.3 was giving me way to many errors and crashes, so i switched over to shadow&#39;s, it was good for a long time (shadows), but now just a 2 days ago it started giving me the error, system specs:

amd 1.2 ghz
384 mb ram
120 gb+60gb+60 gb hdd
ati radeon 9600
win xp pro

any help or suggestions are always appreciated and thanks in advance guys as you&#39;ve (ppl on the forum/board) always helped me solve my problems :) &#33;

I think bt with all its different clients still has quite a few bugs to iron out.It could be anything mate,your side or bt.Try another client abc,azureus,torrent storm.If its still the same mate start checking windows & your apps. :)

Just leave the torrent open and it will eventually connect.....have patience with bittorrent.

Is this how it is with file you try to download. This happens sometime and the only way to check if the torrent works on some other computer/client. Give me the torrent and i will check it for you.
