Here in the USA, most of the major Internet Service Providers have been caught throttling traffic at one time or another.
#Bittorrent error the process cannot access how to#
How to fix: You can manually refresh the tracker by right-clicking on the torrent and select ‘Update Tracker’.
#Bittorrent error the process cannot access update#
Your torrent client should update the tracker periodically, but sometimes it gets stuck. Outdated TrackerĪ torrent Tracker is responsible for keeping an updated list of peers sharing the file. Try enabling DHT in your client settings. You may need to open the port manually (port 1080 for many services). If that doesn’t work, make sure your proxy isn’t being blocked by your firewall or router. Make sure you’re using the correct address, port, username/password. Usually it’s a simple configuration error. If they do, you know the proxy settings are to blame.

Others prefer the one-time setup with no extra software required. But many of our readers use a SOCKS proxy as an extra privacy layer. Typically we recommend using a VPN instead of a proxy (for the encryption). It’s the easiest solution and it just plain works. Use a VPN: The VPN runs on your device and carries the torrent traffic through your router without the need to forward ports.

Here’s instructions for uTorrent (same steps for any torrent client).

Here’s why it’s a problem:īitTorrent uses both UDP and TCP ports to manage your peer connections. Port forwarding errors used to cause so many problems for me. How to fix: Change the listening port in your client’s connection settings, then restart the software and try again. Sometimes your torrent client will accidentally be set to use a listening port that is blocked (or in use by another program). If you use another firewall software (often included with your antivirus) you’ll need to manually whitelist your torrent client in the firewall settings. You should be getting your secure encryption from a VPN anyway. Or just disable protocol encryption altogether. How to fix: Change your encryption settings from ‘Forced’ or ‘Required’ to ‘Enabled’. But your settings are too strict, you might be reducing your number of available peers. Most torrent clients have a built-in encryption option designed to help circumvent throttling. If all else fails, try to find a similar torrent that is well-seeded. You should also check your encryption settings (below) to make sure you aren’t limiting connections. How to fix: Usually you’ll need to wait until a new peer joins the swarm with the missing piece(s). This happens when other users hit-and-run the swarm without seeding the complete torrent. Some don’t have sufficient availability, meaning the swarm doesn’t have all the pieces of the file.

These are the most common causes (and solutions) for a torrent that won’t download. Stuck torrents are super annoying, but fortunately it’s usually fixable. Do you have a torrent that’s stuck part way and won’t complete the download? Or can you not even start the download and your client still shows ‘connecting to peers.’
