Unable to connect to tracker? - Page 5

No, if you can visit http://tracker.finalgear.com:6969/ in your browser but your BT client is throwing an error, than use a newer client. BitTorrnado is quite old, is it not?

I can't visit that site. And also I am using uTorrent. I tried both clients to make sure that neither worked.

If I can't visit it, does it mean that port 6969 could be blocked by my ISP?

Viper007Bond · May 18th, 2006, 12:14 AM

If you can't visit it, then it's not your BT client(s).

Start -> Run -> cmd -> ping tracker.finalgear.com

The pings will fail, but is it able to find the URL? This should be returned when you run the above command: "Pinging bigfoot1942.sektori.org [85.145.110.29] with 32 bytes of data:"

RWalker2 · May 18th, 2006, 03:42 AM

I get:

"Pinging bigfoot1942.weedns.com [85.145.110.29] with 32 bytes of data:"

Viper007Bond · May 19th, 2006, 12:12 AM

Hmm, so it is resolving like it should. Weird.

RWalker2 · May 19th, 2006, 02:13 AM

So there is really no explanation as to why "The target machine is actively refusing the connection" ?

I tried my laptop and I get the same thing so it is either my router or ISP.

Take your laptop to a friends house to try maybe?

I tried pinging the tracker and this is what i got:

Pinging bigfoot1942.weedns.com [85.145.110.29] with 32 bytes of data:

Request timed out.
Request timed out.
Request timed out.
Request timed out.

Ping statistics for 85.145.110.29:
Packets: Sent = 4, Received = 0, Lost = 4 (100% loss),

So what's my problem?

Viper007Bond · May 23rd, 2006, 12:57 PM

The box won't respond pings, but it's good that it does indeed resolve to the right IP for you.

Does visiting http://tracker.finalgear.com:6969/ in your browser result in anything?

speedstar · May 23rd, 2006, 04:06 PM

Nop. nothing.

Viper007Bond · May 24th, 2006, 01:18 AM

What kind of error message do you get?

speedstar · May 24th, 2006, 03:22 AM

Operation timed out.

Well I tried from a friends computer (on the same ISP) and no luck. I guess this means that my ISP is blocking the port?

But I still don't understand the error message:
"No connection could be made because the target machine actively refused it"

Can anyone help me? I'm desperate to watch these three new episodes!

bigfoot1942 · May 25th, 2006, 02:42 AM

you should be able to download the episode anyway because the torrent automatically uses the backup tracker if it cant connect to the main tracker...

RWalker2 · May 25th, 2006, 06:13 AM

It cycles through all of the trackers and gives the same message. (I promise I am not a complete n00b)

Viper007Bond · May 25th, 2006, 08:07 AM

Your ISP must block port 6969.

Does DHT work?

bigfoot1942 · May 25th, 2006, 04:02 PM

i also configured port 80 for use with the tracker, so Rwalker if you change one of the used trackers addresses to http://bigfoot1942.sektori.org (so delete the :6969 part) it should work, since blocking of port 80 is impossible by any ISP.

Viper, you shouldnt start using port 80 though, its a software portmap and i dont think it can handle as much peers as port 6969 does.

RWalker2 · May 25th, 2006, 04:43 PM

Thank you very much, bigfoot. The torrent is now working

You can try opening up a 6xxx port instead of 80 though, because all of the other torrents I use have other 6xxx ports and they work fine. 6882 or something should be fine.
