Not able to connect to trackers/dht and unable to get shows?

what used to be easy, is now bloody hard work,
why does eztv go down so much ?
thery come back as the all new dancing improved version and sod all works

if it aint broke why fix it ???????????????????????

i havent been able to downloan anything, nothing has changed on my pc, router, or broadband, so it
has to be eztv

is it me or the udp trackers are offline which eztv uses? i can connect to some other trackers but
the udp trackers they use are offline or either that they are timed out...

lord its been ages, i wish they would pull their heads out of their asses and relize that vpn users are
being fucked over by the change.

everything was working fine for me until the switch to x264. however this is not a complaint about
that, i love the quality and file size. however, now nothing from eztv will connect, get no
connection errors, dht backup only and 0 peers 0 seeds listed. all ports are forwarded, allowed thru
the firewall. and other torrents from other sites still work. i figure its just me, but could there
be anything that changed recently that i should change? btw i use vuze. any help would be
appreciated, tired of waiting longer to get from other providers. love eztv ty guys.

i dunno, this has been happening to me for the past 2 weeks. sometimes though, i get the
peer and seeds and i get the downloads, but it might take upto 2 days for it to start. all other
torrents i get run just fine...

i found if i add

http://tracker.ccc.de/announce

udp://tracker.ccc.de:80/announce

http://tracker.publicbt.com:80/announce

http://exodus.desync.com/announce

udp://tracker.openbittorrent.com:80/announce

udp://tracker.istole.it:80/announce

http://pow7.com/announce

to the tracker manually it starts the download. only the
tracker "http://tracker.openbittorrent.com/announce" ; is listed on magnet links... guess theres
a problem with it.

i add these to all my torrents and magnets regardless:
http://10.rarbg.com:80/announce
http://atrack.pow7.com/announce
http://exodus.desync.com:6969/announce
http://eztv.tracker.prq.to/announce
http://secure.pow7.com/announce
http://t1.pow7.com/announce
http://total.recall.tracker.prq.to:80/announce
http://tracker.prq.to/announce
http://tracker.publicbt.com/announce
http://tracker.publicbt.com:80/announce
http://tracker.torrentbay.to:6969/announce

then i remove the ones that don't get a response.
with the dht and these trackers i usually get full speed for those that are well seeded, for the
others i just wait it out.

i am having the same problem. everything was fine initially after the switch to x264 but this
last week or so i can't download anything from eztv. same problem says no seeds no peers.
i have tried vuse, utorrent and bit torrent all the same. if i try to download an eztv file from
say torrentz same thing happens won't download. however if i choose ettv or someone else
downloads no problem. i love eztv and would rather keep using this site, can anyone tell me
why this is happening??

thanks

this is just my opinion, but utorrrent 2.2.1 is not a shitty old client. until very recently, it was
the latest version that was stable on all the trackers i use. it works great for all the other
trackers i use, both public and private, and doesn't come with all the baggage of extra features of
later verstions that are useless to me.

i tried all the fixes mentioned here, and none of them have worked. i've used a wide variety of
sources for my tv downloads over the years, and when one source starts giving me problems there are
many other ways to get the job done.

you're right about how i won't remember this problem in a while. i never bother to return to problem
sites to see if they work for me. it's just easier to go elsewhere.

thanks for that. dht kills me. i add something, and the dht fails, so i get nothing on the new
torrents.
maybe 5 mintues later..or 1 hour later or 2 hours later suddenly the dht starts working..and i start
to get peers. but 80% of my torrents the dht fails out of the gate. i have to keep refreshing it
till finally it starts grabbing peers. this helped tremendously

im sure they are but they really shouldnt be running on an incoming port 80 connection. alot of isp's block
that port to prevent people at home from running web servers, ineffectively its easy enough to forward
traffic to another port coming to the domain but meh they do it anyways.

anyways if you are like me my isp blocks all incoming traffic on tcp/udp port 80 so that tracker doesnt
work for me.
nothing wrong with my client. nothing wrong with your tracker aside from some very very poor port
choices.

i have no issues here with any of the changes and i use utorrent 2.04. (i do have several issues
with later versions of utorrent though, but that's outside the scope of this discussion)
i have no issue with x264 encoding either, my media server (serviio 1.1) works fine with it and i
can watch everything i get on my sony bravia. 🙂

i have had these issues off and on the last month. i use utorrent 1.8.3 because i find the newer
utorrent versions were troublesome. i have been using the older utorrent for over a year at least. this
eztv issue has only been the last month. i could not get some eztv links to work. example today i
started 5 downloads this am. 2 worked fine and three had 0 seeds or peers. i added the above
trackers someone mentioned and enabled dht in the problem torrents and immediately they started
working. i have dht disabled for private tracker reasons, they suggested it for proper seeding on their
site.

thank you for the help. 🙂

what a way to talk, shitty old clients.

bet you didn't think like that 5 years ago when your site started up and everybody thought

for some reason all trackers i have been using since this morning are dead on all of eztv torrents.
is it just me? (please say no...)
tpb could not connect
openbt/publicbt/istole/ccc fail
hexagon not authorized
wazzzup?
thanks for any help/hint/assistance/tlc...

it has been happening to me too for the last month or so. i end up having to go search for more
trackers. i doubt its a problem with the trackers as alot of people would have complained already. i
could be due to my isp blocking connections.
