Can't download any torrents

[hanginghelmet]

Hello I can not download any torrents from Traders Den. I keep getting a proxy connect error in Utorrent.

"Proxy Connection Error With µTorrent
Do you use µTorrent? Have you ever gotten this error message:

Proxy connect error: No connection could be made because the target machine actively refused it.

It would show up under the “Tracker Status” column. If this shows up, your connection speed may be limited, or you may not get a connection at all.

There is a very simple fix for this. Disable the proxy server settings. Here’s how:

1. Click on Options/Preferences.

2. Click on the “Connection” settings in the left dialog box.

3. You’ll see, on the right, where it says “Proxy Server.” In the “Type” box, select “(none).”

Now go back to your torrents, select them all (CTRL+A), right-click on them and select “Update Tracker.” After a few seconds they should say “working” in the “Tracker Status” column.

And that’s it. Enjoy!

Read a book. It’s good for you."

Have you tried rebooting?

Your stats say you have downloaded over 7 GB but not uploaded anything. Are you sure it is downloading you are having problems with and not uploading?

hmmmm...

I guess, first you must try to improve your Ratio before you can download more Bytes, Megabite, Gigabites...

I do not know exactly, but maybe there is a policy, that you can't leech when you fell below a specific share ratio (?)

He probably fixed his download problem before you wrote your comment.
I knew the instructions in the link I gave him would do the trick:

That may be so but the ratios still sucks. :wave:

Give him a break. The OP downloaded an old 35 GB Fleetwood Mac Blu-Ray. Currently there are 3 seeders (he is one of them) and 1 leecher. You can't expect somebody to upload 35 GB in a few days when there's hardly anybody to seed to.
