Not able to use torrent of specific site

[Supreme]

Hi
I have been using torrents for quite a long time.
For one of the site www.bitme.org whenever i try to download/upload a torrent i get a 403 stop! error.
Though i m able to browse the site without any problems
I have tried using different torrent clients but same issue with everyone.

For other torrent sites no problem is coming
I have talked with the mods on the site and they are also clueless about it

Does anyone know what could be the cause for it.
Can the local CTO be blocking this, I haven't talked to him regarding this.
Have started facing this problem just some days back.

Any ideas.

maybe the ports used by the client is blocked.I hav been using torrents without probs using bitcomet. but for me bitstrom and bittorendo didnt worked.hope ur able to solve ur problem

Don't use Bitcomet people!

I use bitlord and have tried with azureus also but both give same problem.Could it be that my CTO is blocking access to one specific page of a website.

anand,reason plsss 😀coz I hav been using it on private trackers and it hav reported my uploads and download correctly 🙂maybe any sify user can confirm wether its problem due to blocking by CTO.

I being an Admin at a Torrent site would also confirm what Anand said, please do NOT use BitComet or the latest version of Azureus on any private trackers unless they have been patched, if you are using TB/FL/ET you may continue using BitComet and the New Azureus too, but for any other private trackers it is good to just not use these clients for some time.

The new Azureus and BitComet have a peer-sharing plugin, enabled by default (In BitComet it cannot be disabled), which allows users NOT registered with the site to download torrents without registering onto the site. These clients share their peer data with other clients and hence this happens. Dont be astonished if you see 100 seeds and 1000 peers in your client while actually there are only a lot lesser registered with the site and showing on the torrent Description page of the site.

I have tried with ABC torrent client as well but i still get same 403(forbidden) error.
Tushar can you tell if that site maybe blocking access to their tracker page(www.bitme.org/announce.php) for certain IP address.
Though i had a talk with that site's sysOp and he was also not able to answer the issue. He asked me to contact my ISP , to check if they are blocking something.
If i try connecting to the tracker through a public proxy I am able to make a connection with the tracker easily though.

[/quote]Well, in all TBSource based sites, there is indeed a way to disable the User IP, however that way you will be unable to access the site itself. What I think is maybe their tracker has an imported and updated Peer Guardian Blocklist. Check to see if you are on the peer guardian Blocklist, if your IP is there then you will always have to use a High anonymity proxy or ask one of the SysOps on the site to manually remove your IP from the Blocklist on the tracker.

Well checked for any ip blocking also and the ip is not being blocked
Asked the admin there(bitMe) and he said your ip is not being blocked.
And now am getting this 403 error for a lot of other torrent trackers as well. And here is what the msg is when captured
