I haven't change any settings at all, and nothing in my setup has changed, my network is allowing connections and other torrent software works just fine. I'm having the same problem I think it started yesterday but Transmission is simply no longer displaying any peers for any torrents, including popular ones that were working fine previously. Dial-up and some low-speed satellite connections will make file-sharing very difficult and slow to initiate connections. If not connecting from home, then it might be your company or university blocking file-sharing processes.īy the way, if you are using a lowly connection type such as Dial-up mode, then please specify. If you are firewalled and OSX firewall is not to blame, then it will either be a matter of your router's NAT or your ISP (different name in different languages or countries) blocking your program's use. Not realising the amount of damage they cause or simply not caring.īut if you can find a very popular torrent, especially if it specifies there are multiple seeds online, then if you cannot connect to any peers with it, then chances are you are firewalled. But of course, some people do it out of arrogance, not ignorance.
Such ignorant persons are usually freeloaders/'Hit + Run' users. Thus some public torrents go dead very quickly in some cases because there are no seeds to continue sharing the file.Īn unfortunate situation with torrents is, a rather large percentage of persons believe out of ignorance that the files they are downloading are actually hosted on web-sites, not realising the files are only shared between other file-sharing persons. Keep in mind, public torrents need to deal with 'Freeloaders' and 'Hit and Run' leechers (those who do not seed (share the file after downloading it)). Ie: google something that you think might be 'very' highly popular and put torrent on the end of the search criteria. Preferably a small'ish torrent so it's not hard on your bandwidth. Try downloading a 'common' torrent from a well-known torrent site with 'many' seeds.
