Will not even start to download.
Closed this issue · 5 comments
When I add a .torrent file to the program, it does nothing for 30 seconds before a notification pops up saying
"No peers were received from any trackers. Unable to download. Try a more popular torrent or a different torrent site. Or you can
a) Add public trackers and reattempt
b) Do nothing"
I have an HP 11 Chromebook that I bought yesterday and am trying to set it up. There are not really any trackers or anything like that. What are my options? Thanks.
Did anything happen once you clicked on add public trackers?
Are you familiar with what a tracker is? It's the thing that tells you the other peers in the swarm to download from. If your torrent file doesn't have any trackers, then it might be a "trackerless" (DHT) torrent which JSTorrent doesn't really have support for, but most of the time there will be peers on a public tracker anyway.
Does this make sense to you?
I'm getting this error on all torrents.
Are they private torrents? Most private trackers do not support JSTorrent. There is a "spoofing" option but could run afoul of your tracker rules.
All the torrents I've tried it on have had 50+ seeders. But I guess it's
possible.
Maybe you could send me a dummy torrent to test it out on.

I updated the list of public trackers in the latest release so it should be working now!
