Downloads Stuck At "Downloading Metadata"

[Jer]

Any idea why a torrent with a seed would not load the data and sit at "downloading metadata"?

This might be so much easier if the site allowed us to download the actual torrent file.

Not a Site Issue. You don't download anything from the site.


You can't know for sure if there is really a seed out there.

If there really is a seed, there are a number of reasons you can't connect to each other. If your client logs connection attempts, you can see the exact reason.

This is not a client issue. All other torrents are working fine.

Site says there is a seed.

The seeder and you are for one reason or the other not connecting for transfer. Possible reasons could be anything from port forwarding issues to either of you not having DHT enabled (or the seeder being busy seeding something else). You having the torrent file wouldn't make a difference in this case.

My advice: let it sit and be patient. And seed like a motherfucker once you have it.

These are all individual episode files. I have tried to contact the uploader on Twitter, as they are more than likely the seeder, since the torrents are old. No luck yet.
