why do i get stuck only getting metadata ( what ever that is) eg when i try to download http://thepiratebay.se/torrent/11149291/...5Brartv%5D ?? so i deleted it after a few minutes of it not starting and got same file from https://kickass.to/survivor-s29e02-1080p...56522.html and it began downloading fine ..why ???

had trouble with a few files recently on tpb..only a few but still whats going on ?

You've been around long enough to know this has nothing to do with the site and that you should search first before starting new threads.

TPB magnet links use UDP trackers or DHT to find peers, which is where the metadata is obtained from. If you can't make outgoing UDP connections, you aren't going to get anywhere.

There are numerous threads on this.
