Why Can't I Download These Torrents?
#1
I am behind a VPN. Why can't I download these Torrents? Are they Fake? Real? I can download other Torrents just fine however, these Large Movie Torrents never work. Shows all the seeders and lechers, even shows like it is going to download however, it never ends up actually downloading, it doesn't even download the index of files that should be or will be downloaded.

Example:

Please Help!

That didn't work.

What else do you think it could be?

You could try...

Use the file hash to derive an actual torrent file instead of using the magnet link. The torrent files are attached for your convenience.

(File too big, so I did not want to test the method myself.)

Well I just tried them both myself, they both worked.  The problem must be something wrong with your machine.  The 1st torrent has a lack of seeds there's only 1 seeder and the 2nd one there's more seeders and also somebody is putting it on their seedbox at the moment, more chance the 2nd one will download easier.

I dunno really you're gonna have to fix it, just don't use proxy links in future as they are crap use the official links like I provided.  I clicked on both magnets and it worked just fine and I downloaded them both using uTorrent.

How would I do this when I click on any typical torrent file in the future? I mean there is like 7 files for that group. I click on the file and get the magnet link and do something or do I do something entirely different?

Steps?

How is that possible? What can be wrong?

I mean why does other torrents work and these really big video file torrents do not? I mean I have downloaded over 300 gb torrent files before with no problem on this machine.

I mean can certain VPN's be blocked by the seeder? If you have a low upload rate could that be cause of the problem? I mean I am looking for anything.

No, none of that there's no such thing. Upload rate has nothing to do with anything at all. The bottom line is that I tried it myself and it worked just fine. I don't know what you're doing because I can't see through walls I'm not superman and I don't have x-ray vision. I could come and help you in person but that would be very expensive and there would have to be plane fare and accommodation to pay for it would get very expensive. If I can download it successfully and you can't it means you're doing something wrong, maybe you are using the wrong client. I would try swapping to another client instead and see if that makes a difference. Also I don't know what VPN you're using either and maybe it's not that great. I don't know it could be a great many things and knowing what it is just like that is not easy to solve.

Can you not try on somebody else's machine who also download torrents like you and see what happens with them?

I mean I'm not that bad at computers to where you need to be Superman, see through walls and have X-Ray Vision, or even spend the money to Fly to my Location.

I just find it really hard to believe that I am literally downloading large torrent files as we speak the same exact way as I am trying to download the files in this post and these do not work but others do. I find that extremely strange.

At some point I will try another client and another machine and see what happens however, I am not in position to do that at the moment.

In any case, thank you for everything you have done thus far. I really appreciate it.

There may be an explanation: Seeders may set a limit on how much they are willing to seed (for any particular torrent); or how many connections / kbps they're willing to allow. In such cases, a downloader (peer) would wait in line or be queued until a slot opens, or forever, if the maximum seed value is already reached. Ive got plenty of seeders with 100% of a file I wanted but could never download.

That may be going on with me. I wonder if I leave it downloading for a few days if I will ever get an opportunity to download or be next in line to start?
