humm — make sure the port is open. also, if you can’t download a torrent file, try something like that hides/masks/or changes your ip address. I forget the name of the one app now, but google around.

thank you for responding! i don’t exactly know how to do that. I live in apartments and they block anything to do with downloading even free music files from adult swim..i heard something about opendns being able to not allow a tracker to work? all my trackers are messed…they say not allowed and connection timed out. everything was working fine for the first few weeks i’ve been here it’s just the past week everything went down the tubes! =( any help much appreciated

sf — i don’t think opendns has anything to do with this problem. i use it and have no problems with torrents. of course, you could always switch to your ISP’s dns instead of opendns if you think it’s a problem. maybe try a different browser, dns can’t block certain filetypes from downloading.

hi. i have a mac…use utorrent but it sucks. trying to get transmission. problem is, everything is blocked by opendns crap. can barely dl torrents (they have to be txt files) so is there a way I can dl transmission “privately”/bypassing opendns since utorrent stopped working?
