Utorrent

Edit:  I tired of screwing with it today!!  I think I'm in need a someone to actually check it out that has more experience with seeds than I do.  Maybe I'll try another show tomorrow and see if that makes a difference.  banging

  I don't know how to do this?  Stu's show is his rig and I was running my own.

Do you use TLH for an integrity check?

flacs corrupted?  run a file integrity check on them.

Verify the FFPs...

Sorry you're still having trouble. If you want to, come by tomorrow with the wav files and we'll start from scratch.

^^  If I have time I might stop by!  I am heading to Raliegh aroung 12:00 so it might be tough to squeeze it in.

We can do it when you get back in town.

in utorrent what does it say for tracker status? 

in your screen shot I can see it says "an attempt was made....."  what is the rest?



just looked at the torrent again and perhaps utorrent or etree or both do not like the length of and spaces in the folder name?  that is just a guess.

An attempt was made to access a socket in a way forbidden by its access permission

That is the message Gordon.  Any idea what would remedy this??

[Gordon]

not off hand but ill look into.  gonna be a little while, busy with the baby till 8 or so.

I'm not sure if it makes a difference, but I am running windows Vista. 

[Gordon]

was the error the same on stu's computer?    have you tried to disable  Mcfee and try it?  does your  Mcfee have a firewall or just antivirus?  does the socket error stay the same or does it ever change to something else?  are you running peerblock?


my guess is that at stu's y'all just didn't wait long enough for the torrent to show up and on your computer  Mcfee is blocking things.

[Gordon]

also in utorrent do you have encryption enabled?  go to settings > bit torrent.  needs to be enabled.

I waited until the next morning. I don't recall the error message.

The solution was to open the properties of the uTorrent.exe file and select the "Privilege Level" as "Run this program as an Administrator".

Seems like a common problem...

I deleted it and recreated the whole torrent and still no luck!!  It had the same message.

Seems like a common problem...  Try the re-start and see if that helps...  BUt these threads seem like a good place to start to try and fix...

so if on your machine the same thing happened then maybe I was correct about the folder names being to long, too many space etc.

oops just looked and the new one is renamed.   if it was only on your machine then we were on the right path.  but it not working on stu's is just plain strange!  again that would lead me to think something is wrong with the files themselves but you said they check out.


even so did you try disabling McAfee and trying without?  I read some reports of utorrent not working at all with it's firewall.  also try a different version of utorrent.  it's not gonna hurt anything

[Gordon]

oh yea try changing ports in utorrent as well.
