BTW. i mean downloading a movie from a site other than GT. (streaming site)

@pmrrk check the tracker message in your client:
649cccf2-ec7f-48bb-b6d7-e5d6f752f1cb-image.png

this is the first step to find out what is wrong, and come up with a solution.

@Rimmer69 said in Downloads stopped working since yesterday (April 22nd).:

Please disregard - I found out what the problem is.

Please tell us how you fixed it. Same problem here

@ianfontinell-0 Hi. Sorry for the very late reply, it's been crazy for the past few weeks.

I've been using Nord for a while and never had any problems with it until 2 days after I posted this issue.

Thank you for your help! It's working now, but the only method that worked is that I have to reinstall my Nord and Qbit.

@ianfontinell-0 It actually worked! I'm so excited and happy cause it took me so long and I almost got desperate. Thank you a million 🐕

@fresh2death8-0 pause all your other torrents, even the ones that are seeding.

sometimes you don't download all files from a torrent, so you never become a seeder. you finish downloading the files you picked and are able to seed it, but in the system still count as a leecher. when you keep the torrent active in this circumstance, it consumes one download slot. pausing everything else and waiting up to 30 minutes will reset your download slots and the torrent will start.

God damn. Oh well.
It would be cool to have my own torrents available for myself.

Usually invalid download state means that the torrent ran into an error the last time you had your torrent client open, usually that there are file(s) supposedly missing. Data is Invalid is usually a sign that when it completed a file, it did not remove the .!ut from the end of the file name, so it thinks the file is not there, as it was reported as 100% downloaded, but the file was not renamed to remove the partial status from the end of the file name.

In both cases, Force Re-Check, then starting the torrent will fix this.

@cp2000 i really don't know what's up, whenever i can play a video i am able to save it, never had to tweak anything. good to know that it is not as consistent as i thought.

@frostycab excellent advice as I likewise leave it. Afterall once I download the file it will remain so there is no harm only a gain to leave a file still working on completion. It is my wish that others are getting this concept bc so many "sign up" then delete as soon as they receive a "system message"

@tommykrenke it doesnt need a re-seed, it has many seeders. you can try to request a freeleech here: https://community.gaytorrent.ru/topic/61578/seedbonus-pooling-to-make-torrents-freeleech

make sure to make it clear that you're requesting a freeleech because of the torrent size

@Boizi

We don't allow re-seed requests in the forums.

Use the re-seed request button on the torrent page.

you can re-post here : so staff can evaluate ...

The tracker is not unreachable according to your screenshot, here's what it looks like when the tracker is working:

e7105c2b-85e1-4aa2-a5b5-1ef90397d53e-image.png

Only the IPv4 address matters, which is the one starting with "192.168"
All other IPs will report "unreachable" and only one will connect.

In your case, the status is "tracker error" but your client does not show the tracker message. When the tracker status reports any error, the tracker message explains why it's not working.

In your case, since your seeding torrents are working normally, and your ratio is okay, you're most likely being restricted from downloading due to simultaneous download limit.

Go to https://www.gaytor.rent and check the header stats:
ad06de21-b633-4715-8e73-579e5981fc13-image.png

It shows how many torrents are flagged as "leeching", in my example it is zero but for you it will likely be higher. Click the number, scroll down and click "show leeching torrents" to see the list. Go back to your torrent client and pause those torrents.

It can take several minutes for the tracker to update, when the number of leeching torrents drop your downloads will start automatically.
