p_brownstone Posted December 3, 2011 Share Posted December 3, 2011 Using BitTorrent 6.4 and trying to download some TV episodes (individual Episodes of Big Bang Theory Season 5 - yes I know!!). I have several Torrents which have nothing happening - Seeds show (for example) "0(2237)" and Peers "0(2155)" Downspeed and Upspeed ETA completely blank, Availability show 0.000. I have no idea what it means when I see "0(2237)" for example - can anyone explain? Patrick Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rgs2001uk Posted December 3, 2011 Share Posted December 3, 2011 I know it doesnt answer your question, however if you go to youtube and type in Big Bang Theory Season 5 you can choose which to watch. If you have internet download manager, just click and save. I gave up on torrents a while ago. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Aachen Posted December 3, 2011 Share Posted December 3, 2011 You need to wait a while until it starts... Of course torrent works good in Thailand... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lomatopo Posted December 3, 2011 Share Posted December 3, 2011 Can you look at the tracker details and share them? Where did you get the torrent file? Has BT worked for you before? Maybe the tracker requires a log-in, or is PRIVATE? Maybe your ISP is blocking the HTTP call to the tracker (this happens with some)? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
coconutter Posted December 3, 2011 Share Posted December 3, 2011 get on a private tracker like www.xspeeds.com very fast but for some strange reason down today an usually have to have an invite, this site has open membership an all the episodes big bang www.superseeds.org im getting download speeds of 600kbs at the moment on tot 6 mb connection very satisfy, torrents work great in thailand much better than paying for that ubc rubbish an actually get to watch what i want when i want.

I agree totally, True Visions as it's now called is so hideous I cancelled after 6 months. I used utorrent and get everything from piratebay and btjunkie. Pirate bay, for example, is full of the episodes that the OP was wanting Video(TV shows)The Big Bang Theory Season 5 Episode 8 - The Isolation PermutatiUploaded 11-05 08:34, Size 179.65 MiB, ULed by sanved7729625Video(TV shows)The Big Bang Theory Season 5 Episode 10 - The Flaming Spittoon AUploaded 11-19 16:25, Size 174.99 MiB, ULed by stu18129716Video(TV shows)The Big Bang Theory Season 5 Episode 9 The Ornithophobia DiffusiUploaded 11-12 12:11, Size 175.22 MiB, ULed by stu1812902I've never had a problem, although the speeds always seem better at nighttime in Thailand, I guess because most seeders are US-based.

glegolo Posted December 4, 2011 Share Posted December 4, 2011 I agree with aussiebebe , I have been downloading now on a regular basis for some 4 years, and it is movies and TV-shows. I have tried some different hosts like Limewire (gone by now), Wuzo who messed up my computer a bit. And now since 1,5 year I use U-bittorrent and I get all my torrents from Piratbay and torrentday out on the internet, I give you hereby the links or each of them: http://www.utorrent.com/ free of charge http://thepiratebay.org/tv/latest/ free of charge http://www.torrentday.com/login.php free of charge It is extremey easy to find all TV-shows you like to watch. Just go to the searchbox and whoopie you got it... Good luck Glegolo Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

For rapidshare links try oneddl.com, tvlog.me, warez-bb.org or bolt.cd. I also use jdownloader as my download manager. the only way to go. Forget torrents.

pattayadingo Posted December 6, 2011 Share Posted December 6, 2011 Why pay? From some paid sites you do get the movies with all the subtitles and other DVD info. Often of good quality too. On the other hand I download torrents and often get 400+ download speeds on my cheap TOT internet connection that I pay 650 Baht a month for. Rarely have I had bad quality from my torrent sites. I watch a movie and discard it. Why watch the same movie 2 or 3 times? Anyway, I am happy with my download speeds from my torrents and would not bother to pay someone or some site for the same privilege. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
beano2274 Posted December 6, 2011 Share Posted December 6, 2011 Since addresses are flying around, here two others for good new films and music www.1337x.org www.ahashare.com also if you look on Utorrent under the general tab, you can see a hash number, if you right click and copy, then paste into google and search you might hit isohunt or torrentproject, you can find other trackers here, just add them to the torrent by going to the torrent right clicking and then click on properties, after each tracker make sure you do a double carriage return. On torrent project under the tracker list is menu, if you click this it will give you the tracker names with the double carriage return so all you do is copy and paste Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

To be honest I just don't think this is true at all. I use torrents from usual sites. I'm in BKK on True internet, 690B per month. I get torrent speeds of 800-1000kB/s for popular recent torrents. It takes me about 6 minutes to download an episode of Big Bang theory. Overnight I can simultaneously download three or four whole seasons of various interesting sounding shows. I have 300hrs + of stuff like Treme, Boardwalk Empire, Dexter , the laughable Downton Abbey etc. on my external HD that I'll probably never get round to watching all of. All free. I think, as has been pointed out, OP is firewalled so unconnectable to seeds. Once this is solved torrents are fine here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It takes me about 6 minutes to download an episode of Big Bang theory. Check your peers list for "local peers". That's probably the reason you're able to max out your connection. I only download 720p/1080p scene releases and WEB-DL episodes; most of them aren't available on public trackers. Having said that, my choices are pretty limited. I'd go with a private tracker, but the ones I'm interested in joining are by invite only (i.e. CHDBits, HDBits, what.cd). Fortunately, a lot of stuff available on those trackers can be found on file hosting sites and elsewhere, so it works for me. And yes, it can all be downloaded for free.

Bangkokhatter Posted December 8, 2011 Share Posted December 8, 2011 maybe the OP does not know what port forwarding is... www.portforward.com Am after some advice on this port forwarding. Last week i finally starting using bitcomet and successfully downloaded a few movies and a complete tv series ( speeds varied quite a bit ) however yesterday I started downloading another tv series and all was fine apart from being a bit slow. The girlfriend then shut down my computer while I was out ( save lectric ) When I opened it up again it would not download . Found out the listen port was blocked or something and then went onto the help screen . What followed was a few hours of torture following guides on port forwarding etc, but still can not get it to work. I have access to my router but can not see anything there to change and set my windows firewall to accept bitcomet , but now am stuck. I am not particularly computer savvy but wonder if maybe its my AVG that is stopping something or something else I have overlooked. Any advice is greatly appreciated Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

p_brownstone Posted December 8, 2011 Author Share Posted December 8, 2011 Many thanks for all the responses. I obviously have BitTorrent set up wrongly - although it worked fine a few weeks ago. I have just Downloaded Vuze and installed it - Torrents are now Downloading within minutes! Patrick Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bangkokhatter Posted December 8, 2011 Share Posted December 8, 2011 Sorry for lack of reply, been out of the office. The router is a hauwei but that port forward website does not have my model number listed. When I tried this last night it suggested to select 1 closest but nothing I tried worked. To be honest I got frustrated and gave up, but I did try checking the port and it came back as being Stealth, which I understand is not good. I actually tried Vuze on a recommendation before using Bitcomet, but for some reason the search engine was not coming up with anywhere near the same results as my friend who recommend it , not sure if thats relevant ? As i said before Bitcomet was fine and I felt as though I'd just discovered beer and obviously want that taste back Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
