Torrent opener stuck on waiting to download

Nothing more you can do if a torrent does nothing or is dead link. Worse comes to worse just delete the torrent and remove any files it downloaded to clear up space and continue with other live torrents.

Because I have a headless dedication torrent box, I was just wondering if there was a way to automate the process of stopping dead torrent s after a set period of time of inactivity as I have in the list at one time and sometimes one torrent brings a halt to everything.

For BitTorrent clients like uTorrent to work correctly, they require open network ports to allow incoming and outgoing traffic.

A good way around this is to use port forwarding or port mapping. You can set up port forwarding to forward traffic to the BitTorrent ports to your PC and vice versa , allowing uTorrent to make a stable connection. When a uTorrent gets stuck on connecting to peers, it could point to a problem with your network configuration.

BitTorrent has a reputation—and not a very good one. To most people, it means illegal file sharing, which is why internet service providers will where possible block and severely limit the capability of users downloading or uploading BitTorrent files. Many users will prefer to use a virtual private network VPN to bypass ISP restrictions or to maintain their anonymity while downloading or sharing BitTorrent files.

Check with your VPN provider and, if it does offer BitTorrent-friendly servers, make sure to connect to these when using uTorrent to download or share your files.
