Torrent upload not working




















I'm not sure if this is exactly the same issue, but just today my uploads started spiking, dropped to low speeds, and stopped completely I can't remember in what order that happened, but each happened multiple times throughout troubleshooting.

I'm only uploading so I'm not sure how downloads were affected. My computer was freezing up a bit and the qbit window started bugging out. I had to close it then open it again multiple times in order to even pause the torrents. I figured that was the problem but after restarting they pretty much stopped uploading altogether. It also did some spiking again.

Sorry I don't have a lot of technical knowledge on this, just manual experience. Anyway, I knew it wasn't the torrents causing it because I have a long upload queue, including many with few seeds and many leechers, and many torrents that had just been working suddenly refused to. When I paused and started them all a few would start up but then quickly drop to 0, then none active.

I tried disabling torrent queueing and that did nothing. Antivirus shows no problems. I'm on Windows 10, qbit v4. What ended up working was to add new torrents to my priority category and starting them, and they've been going fine for 30 minutes now. The thing that doesn't really make sense is that the ones that weren't working all had seeds of 1 or 2, but the 3s that I added work fine.

All have leechers. It's a long list so I can't be certain, but there are currently several 1s and 2s that are working now along with the 3s. Also after writing this I remember that I switched from ethernet to wifi at some point today.

I believe that I was experiencing the issue before I did that, and I have done that before with no affect to the torrents, and wifi has never caused issues in the past, so I do not think that was the cause.

Sorry I don't have more definite info. Anyway I hope this helps someone. I wanted to give any relevant details to help debugging. Hi Honaaa , thanks for the detailed and interesting input.

I wonder what it is about your priority category that makes the torrents react. Can you tell us what are the particulars of that category? Yeah it's about things, mostly movies, and about a third of them have already completed uploading. Now that I'm done downloading for a while I'm just using it to quickly start the ones I want to upload, and I'm prioritizing ones with few seeds.

They range from 25 mb to gb, and I usually just select the whole list and start them all. Before I turned off queueing I had limits of 10 down, 40 up, and 50 active. I get a fairly steady 0. I have them set to seed til reaching a ratio of 2 so I'll probably be doing this for a century.

Every few days I check the main category and add any that have dropped to seeds. I can't give you the details on each and every torrent cus now that I'm looking at it most of it's porn lmao.

I haven't found any fake torrents so far but I haven't tried most of them either. I've had issues here and there in the past but nothing that couldn't be fixed with a restart until two weeks ago. I believe the problem started when my qbit window started bugging out. I would right click the taskbar to pause all and the icon would disappear.

Then I'd alt-tab to the window and it would go white and unresponsive. This happened probably times that day while trying to figure it out. I don't think I updated qbit anytime recently, and my other programs were running fine. My guess is it could have something to do with running qbit for a long time, though like I said I had it going for months without problems.

It could also be a weird bug of course. I'm still pretty sure it wasn't just a lack of peers, since things that had been running that day suddenly wouldn't, and the seed to peer ratios were still normal. I've been on vacation since my post so I haven't tested it much, but they ran fine for the day or two afterward and are fine today. Thanks Honaaa. I don't know what it is about changing category that kickstarts your uploads. I've tried it and get no result. Maybe someone else can try it and see if it makes a difference.

Sorry, it's not that I changed the category, I probably should have just left out that part. It's just that the torrents I added to the priority category were paused until I did that. The priority category is the only one I have going, all else are paused. So I added them, then unpaused the whole category and suddenly it was back to normal. Thanks for the clarification Honaaa , but I'm not sure I'm understanding you.

It seems you're saying your paused torrents are inactive until you unpause them. As this is the expected behaviour I don't see how it affects this issue. No unpausing additional torrents caused the torrents that had stopped uploading to upload again. My best guess is that it was either 1 a bug 2 qbit displayed peers that didn't exist or weren't currently trying to download or 3 the peers that would have been downloading them had their bandwidth full and so were connected but not downloading.

I think default it was checked, but i had changed it based on something i read and forgot about it. Noticed i wasn't able to seed anything. Finally, after trying every solution i could find, i went and checked that and uploads started working again. Thanks for the comment jcizzle Unfortunately, it doesn't work for me.

I'm seeing similar behavior. I have a new qBittorrent installation on Windows 10 64 bit. With other clients, when I am connected to the swarm, I am expecting to be downloading and uploading at the same time. I suppose the first might be a design decision -- but again, other clients usually allow peers to swap pieces between each other as well as getting materials from seeders -- and the second might possibly be something odd like the tracker reporting improper information or maybe something strange like not wanting to upload to a given IP because qBittorrent sees that IP on another torrent I might add the irony is that I installed qBittorent because Tixati was having problems downloading So strange.

Same computer, two pieces of software, all configured using the same pass through configurations and whatnot on the routers, just different ports, and Tixati worked great except it had trouble with incorrect "bad data" flagging from certain clients I run qBT v4. I use them one-at-a-time on the same port, so there's no conflict and qBT should get incoming connections that uTorrent "sparked" by earlier activity! Tixati -- worked great, except for having issues with one peer that was sending weird data, and I couldn't download from them.

So, I moved on. In the first hour or so, it uploaded tens of megabytes, and made successful connections to leechers on three different torrents. Start new topic. Recommended Posts.

In this case, disabling it will likely let the torrent client downloads go through:.

Lastly, since torrent connections are often unsafe, your antivirus could proactively block them as well. By the way, scanning your Mac for viruses and other malware spyware, adware, etc. And the best way to do it is by using CleanMyMac X. CleanMyMac X is a truly powerful Mac optimizer packaged in a dead-simple and intuitive interface.

This utility will help you delete old files, clean up your hard drive, speed up your Mac, enhance your privacy, and find any malware with just a single click.

Increasing this limit might help with the torrent not downloading files properly. If so, it could have something to do with torrent connection issues. In general, your torrent speed is affected the most by the number of peers who are seeding the torrent file to you. Normally, when you find a torrent file online, it will tell you how many people are seeding it at the moment.

If you see that the number is considerably lower during the download, you can try to pause and start the download, or even delete your current torrent file and try to do the whole process again from the torrent website. In some cases, the problem could be with the torrent client itself. So try to download the same file with another client. Folx is a powerful download manager and torrent client in one. Just search for a file or input a URL, and Folx will download whatever file might be on the other end, be it music, video, or a book.

Folx can also be up to 20 times faster than regular downloaders, since it breaks down the file in up to 20 parts and downloads them separately at the same time.
