Railwire : Torrent Downloads not working

[vishal8492]

Since couple of days , Torrents are not downloading on my railwire conenction.I'm curious anyone facing same issue ?? Is it just me or mostly ISP blocking torrent traffic suddenly.I know it was working couple of days ago , and for sure it's not configuration issue from my end.

I was going through all tracker list in top torrents & most of those are not responding.I saw only couple of http trackers responding currently & all udp failing (either timeout or unable to connect to host).Since same setup was working before , I can be sure config isn't an issue ; still checked on my Mac/Windows as well & since mostly on server (LAN setup) I'm using Linux pretty much everything's not responding.I can surf so even that's ruled out ; still I changed DNS just to be sure (I know , desperate times).Even when some of http trackers are responding , none of torrents actually downloaded anything.So tracker availability is sorta irrelevant here probably.

I'd really appreciate any help , since I can't directly contact ISP asking if they're blocking p2p traffic ? But as a last step , I'll do that as well. Please Let me know , if you know anything that can help ??

Use a socks5 proxy just for hostname lookups. ACT started using P4P on trackers in Bangalore to ensure more local peers but it just messed everything up.

Look here for more details: Act Broadband is no longer giving public IPs

I tried with your settings , but still there is same issue.Since most of trackers are udp ; you don't have easier way to check their availability.As host might be up but port is not forwarded by them , or packets are being dropped.I do expect most of open trackers to be alive , at least.

Thanks for information , I'll let you know if something helps me sort this out.

I am on railwire and torrent working fine here in haryana.

I'm sure it's infrastructural issue , maybe it's local to my area probably for now.

It got resolved on it's own , mostly infrastructural issue ; so thanks all ,closing this.
