Hostname not found in utorrent

[A Former User]

Hello,everyone. I can't figure out why whenever i try to download it says "hostname not found" and i can't connect to the tracker. Does anybody else have this problem?

It sounds like the DNS provider you are using is not resolving our tracker's IP address for some reason. There are however two ways around this…

Way #1 - Change your DNS to Google DNS using these DNS servers
8.8.8.8
8.8.4.4

Way #2 - Modify your computer's hosts file by adding these two lines
77.247.179.58 tracker.gaytorrent.ru
77.247.179.58 tracker.gaytorrent.tw

If you are unsure of how to modify your system's hosts file, I would encourage you to check out this comprehensive guide.
