Just thought id add that i left the torrent on a full day and that error message didnt go away, im not running any firewalls virus software either.

I know for a fact that Torrentbits requires you to be both registered and online on the board (i.e. logon to the board) in order to able to access the tracker. I've seen some torrents on Suprnova that use the TB tracker, so if you're not on that board, the torrent will give you the error you described. Furthermore, your IP(-range) could be included in a peerguardian-list or something like it, blocking your access to the tracker. And last but not least, it's possible you've been banned from a tracker for leeching and/or hit-n-running.

Hope this helps :/

i was loged in with torrentbits still doesnt work any other ideas ?

got it fixed zone alarm was causein all the probs......

I've had the exact same problem...

What is peerguardian... I don't think I would have been banned, I always left my client open for a least a few hours after the download finished (it used to work for me)

And what is this TB tracker that I might have to log into that you speak of???

try to get the announce url from the details dialog box and input it mannually to external announce in the advanced dialog

Its weird, it appers to have fixed itself... must have been user error
