Help with utorrent.

Posted: Tue Nov 03, 2009 1:44 pm

I am trying to download a host booter for xbox 360. It is the clean 1.4 version with tutorial. It appears on my utorrnet (well vuze first) and it is not downloading. Says that 1 of 3 peers connected. On vuze it said the remaining time is infinite. Is this a dead torrent? I have tried every host booter of the 1.4 version for the xbox 360. There are 3 versions. 2 are the same and 1 is a .rar file. Could anyone lend me a hand on what to do? Or if there is another updated version. All help is thanked.

Look at how many leechers there are. If the number of leechers is far greater than the number of seeds it will slow the download a lot. Even just a few over the seeds will slow it down, try to find one that has more seeds than leechers. Hope this helps, that's all I can think of aside from a bad torrent, later.

Ok I don't see leechers. You mean when you click the link to see what files are in the torrent? I see like 1 seed. And when I try to download it via utorrent it says no seeds. I do see 45 nodes that update but then don't do anything. I do not see anything about leechers in the utorrent file or in the info about the torrent. Sorry if I can't find what you're talking about, I just got my computer fixed and I never really download torrents

First off get rid of Vuze. It is slow and uses too many recources. Install uTorrent instead.
If you want faster downloads then you will want to forward your ports. There is a very good guide on utorrent.com. Link below.

As mentioned before if there are far more leechers than seeds then your download will be much slower.

OK thanks but utorrent seems a bit weird to me. I have the maximum of 2 peers each time I try to download the booter and I tried another one and now I hvae no peers. They don't seem to be downloading at all and I tested my connection and it seems fine

EDIT: I just tried downloading it again. 1 peer this time and it says 0(1) under the peer column. Is it normal not to connect to peers because I can never connect to more than 1 peer if the torrent has more than 1 peer. And my avaliability bar is red when i click on the file being downloaded. Everything is 0 except for the time...which goes up. I guess this type of stuff isn't for me. Thanks for your help anyway.
