Bittorrent Error Every Time

[soma]

No firewall, nothings misconfigured, like i said it was working 1 day then the next i started getting this error for ALL torrents...i tried 3 different bittorrent client versions, all error 10061, even nova torrent gives me that error...however Azureus will dl just fine cept its slower (much), and im only a 56ker.

have you rebooted?
if it was just a few days ago you could do a system restore and go back, if you got xp

Yeah, I forgot about that, though will i lose any files that were downloaded lately or my Diablo running on Azureus (which is stuck at 98.2%)?

no, but if you installed anything you will have to do it again
won't loose data you have downloaded

as for the torrent, is their seeders?
run it throu torrent spy & make sure, I don't reccomend bittorrent for 56ker's
the torrents don't last long enough for you to compleat sometime before everone bails
just make sure you get a new one thats poppular otherwise you'll be stuck @ xx% forever till someone reseeds it (have to wait for a new torrent) or a seeder comes along (less likely)

The 100061 Connnection refused error means that the tracker can't handle your packet requests. This is either caused by flooding of the tracker or that the tracker has been shut down.

The former happens a lot on Suprnova torrents, cause there are so many peers trying to download that the tracker can't handle them all. Usuallly the problem goes away after a few minutes, but sometimes it takes longer.

If it persists you can assume the tracker has been shutdown. You can only wait for it to come back up or try finding another source.

Just keep trying to connect to the same .torrent and it should work.

I'm not really familiar w/the tracker business...all i do is go to supranova and save the file and open it w/bittorrent. How do you change trackers, or sources? And could i find that same file? ...yeah i know bittorrent isnt good for 56kers but i only dl REALLY popular files with many many seeders like the new Limp Bizkit and such but still im getting these errors even with those files, cant figure out why they work in Azureus though.
