Torrent Issues
Anyone else having problems downloading torrents? I can't seem to download files anymore. The seeds never show up and just say 0 and the download never starts. I have tried BitComet, Azureus and some other apps as well and the problem is still there. Any ideas as to what changed? Anyone else having these problems? As an FYI, nothing has changed on my PC or in my network at all.
???

Hmmm I have no problems with my torrent ... I'm using the "official client" from bittorrent.com ... maybe the file you want to download just don't have any seeders like it's shown?
Or do you have the problem with any file you want to dl? |

Thanks EDIT: I just tried an episode of Lost and there is 2 seeders and it is saying that the downloading has started and there is 99:99:99 left but it hasn't actually started downloading the file YET, though I am sure it will soon. Any idea as to why it shows there are tons of seeders for my episode but it won't download any of them, (again keep in mind that I have tried downloading the same episode using 5 different actual torrents with different names and everything)???????

My torrents have all been running fine on Bitcomet (they are all anime though), but just for the heck of it I just started downloading the last episode of Lost from extefnet.org and it's flying along at 140+ kB/s.
-Edit- I just started The OC, S03E11 and it also appears to be a very healthy torrent as well...

Dan: In my experience, Isohunt is a great, comprehensive search-engine for torrents, but it's not always the best place to find new TV stuff immediately. Try going to http://www.mininova.org/get/203825 for the OC episode, and http://www.mininova.org/get/203240 for Lost, and http://www.eztvefnet.org/ is a great place to go to get uncorrupted TV torrents. Both of the above torrents are working fine for me, and hopefully they'll work for you as well...
Also, NX: The series I'm currently downloading/watching on a weekly basis are Naruto (the non-filler episodes should finally begin soon), Bleach (the filler episodes are just beginning), Shuffle (just ended), One Piece, any and all Gundam series (Gundam Seed Destiny just ended, but I was pleased to be able to get the new MS Igloo movie yesterday), Noein, Monster, Yakitate Japan, Blood +, and Basilisk, and there are a couple other series that I've been downloading but haven't gotten around to watching yet. Additionally, I've got hard-drives filled with many of the classics (Gundam, Berserk, Lupin, etc... ), as well as a bunch of stuff that I've watched in the past that's not so classic; and an additional sad/nerdy thing concerning my downloading habits is that while my desktops' hard-drive space is filled to the brim with anime series, my poor laptop is also quite ridiculously filled up with volume upon volume upon volume of manga...

Evil,
Your link is for 3x12, (just came out tonight and I have it), but when I tried to download 3x11 using this site it worked like a charm... Its downloading right now so thanks a BUNCH... This thread will be good for others also because if they didn't already know about these sites they will now! Thanks again Evil!
