I'm having the same problem (urlopen error (10061, 'Connection refused')). Have been trying for some time now (hours) to start downloads from 3 different trackers.

I have no problem with being patient - the problem is that TCPView shows that BitTornado doesn't even try to connect to anything other than 0.0.0.0:0. This is also confirmed by the fact that my firewall hasn't asked me to permit traffic from btdownloadgui, something it does every time a new application wants to connect to the outside world.

So what's wrong? Or have I just misunderstood something?

You may have more than 1 firewall interfering.
The reason why you don't see anything in the firewall you know about's logs...is because the firewall you don't know about completely blocked BitTornado before you got a chance to see it.

BTW, Spyware and viruses can act as firewalls.

I'm the "Guest" with the 0.0.0.0:0 problem above. This is a bug in the BitTornado client.

I solved it by switching to Azureus, that works flawlessly with the same torrents I tried with BitTornade. So this bug, that BitTornado tries to connect to 0.0.0.0:0, is probably one of the reasons for the problem many of the BitTornado users have with the 'Connection refused' error.

If you can't help yourself no one is gonna help you. Goddamnit noob learn to be more responsible!!! stop asking others to hold your hands!!!
