Signed up for a proxy service and DHT says waiting to log in
-
I have gone back and forth with their site support and I apparently do not understand what he is telliing me to do. I've checked my utorrent settings and everything that says DHT is marked "enabled" I was able to download yesterday morning but in the afternoon and all night long, nothing would download. no settings were changed. I'm using utorrent 3.1.3
Does anyone know what to do? If this is not the place for this, just delete it. Sorry

The tracker was off yesterday evening/hight GMT time. It should work by now.

I download from other places. Nothing is working and even if GTRU is down, why would MY utorrent say " DHT waiting to log in?" I did google the error message and the proxy site support seemed to say that various check boxes had to be enabled etc. which they are. So I'm at a loss. Thanks for any other ideas.
************* 5 minutes later - I don't know what gave me the idea to do this a couple days ago, but I cleared out everything on the utorrent "connection" box. (on settings) unchecked everything, removed everything I could, name, password, proxy server number. I waited a few minutes, restarted utorrent and it was downloading. I did the same thing all day yesterday, nothing happened. I did it again today and most sites are downloading. Remember, I get stuff from Pirate Bay, and other places. What gives? Thanks!

DHT (Distributed Hash Table) is a system to exchange peer information without a tracker.
Even if enabled in your µTorrent, on torrents from private tracker like GayTorrent.ru , it shall say "not allowed". The same for peer exchange (PEX) and local peer discovery.
It would be helpful if you tell us which torrent you try to download, best with a link to the description page and during which time periods including your time zone GMT offset. That will enable us to take a look while you try to download.
Please select the torrent in µTorrent and then have a look under the Tracker tab: what message is indicated after the tracker announce URL? That gives some indication about the nature of the issue.
Please place a screen capture of your µTorrent connection settings (with proxy login password made invisible) in our Bitbucket https://www.gaytorrent.ru/bitbucket.php and sent me the link to it by a PM.

I appreciate very much the assistance you offer, but it seems to be working now. I thought perhaps there would be a general answer!
IF you can answer this without a screenshot (since it is so difficult for me to figure that out) - I realized another mistake - I signed up only for basic and it didn't hide my IP address. (it said so in the product description but I missed it, I guess I'm a DUMMY. Reading is fundamental!)
Anyway, I signed up for the package that hides my IP which asks me to use Socks V5 proxy type. I do not have that choice on Utorrent 3.1.3 - I have none, Socks 4, Socks 5, HTTP and HTTPS. Thank you.

You got that choice in the drop down menu. I assume you are using GT Guard Paranoid?
