UNANSWERED QUESTIONS

Hey There. My Question is: I have a Debian Server up running and I connect to it threw ssh. So far so good ;) I installed bittornado and Torrentflux. Bittornado runs on ports 50000-60000. So if I want to download a torrent it can't find any Peers. Any Trackers tell me, that i can't connect, because I'am not visible. The Ports are forwarded correctly. Anybody got a idea?

Post new questions and possible answers here

1. My college recently decided to block all ports on our internet link. As a result only websites can be accessed and the bittorrent client is not working. Is there any way to find out which ports may be open or to overcome this problem in some other way?

Some suggestions:

1. You may wish to use a proxy. One example, Tor, is an anonymous proxy that is probably too slow for file sharing but should allow you to escape your closed network.

Ideally you setup an encrypted proxy so that network administrators do not sniff your connection.

1. There is also Filetopia set to randomize ports but recent iA testing has shown the program to be unwilling to accept new users.

1. Is there a way to find out who is connected to a torrent swarm, before I even load the .torrent file into my BT client?

1. I can't believe this isn't a common question, but it's not answered in any of the BitTorrent FAQ's I've found. "No space left on device" often presages file corruption from which BitTorrent will not resume. No easy fixes for this. I saw this answered on a BitTorrent mailing list (sorry I don't have it anymore, or know what list it was on) that one's only hope in that situation would be to delete all and restart the torrent. This was about a year ago, and I'm not sure that the problem has not been subsequently fixed.

I suspect that in this situation, one's uploads to others are corrupt, but I don't really know.

A suggestion:

In Azureus, right-click on the torrent and select "Force re-check." This has worked for a similar problem I've been having.

I don't have enough insight into this problem to add this to the FAQ myself. If this only occurs in some clients, I can say it does in mine, BitTornado 0.3.7 (BitTorrent/T-0.3.7).--Edgarde 10:23, 27 Dec 2004 (GMT)
