Troubleshooting difficult people torrent Issues

BitTorrent protocol is, by far, one of the most efficient ways of transferring data from one computer to another.
The protocol relies on distributing pieces of data between peers, and due to the peer connections, BitTorrent is more efficient than other means of transferring data.
However, sometimes, BitTorrent users may encounter some issues.
This can happen when the torrent is corrupted.
Or, when some users have trouble with downloading torrents.

• Torrenting is a great way to download and share files, but sometimes it can be challenging.
• Some users reported having problems with difficult peers on torrents, so check out the fixes below.

Check uTorrent settings

5. Exit the Options menu.

Check your IP address

1. Make sure you are not behind any router or proxy.
2. Check your current IP address.
   
3. You can run any VPN or proxy to find out which is your current IP address.
4. You can also check your IP address by visiting www.ipchicken.com.
5. Try another server
   If you still find that you are on a restricted server, then try another server.
6. Check if the File Sharing is activated
   If you are sharing files using File Sharing, then it might cause an issue.

Check ports

1. BitTorrent uses TCP and UDP ports.
   
2. Open UDP ports 6881-6999, and TCP ports 6881-6999.
3. Check your router or firewall configuration
   Some torrent clients depend on ports 6881-6999.
4. Users might have configured their routers or firewalls to block these ports.
5. Check the router configuration or disable the firewall temporarily

Make sure you’re not sharing files with uTorrent

1. Open your uTorrent client -> click on the Connections option -> select the “Local Peers” option to show all local connections.
2. Make sure no peers are sharing the same file with uTorrent.
   
3. Is any peer sharing the same file? If so, remove this peer from your connection -> try to connect to this peer again.

Check the quality of your torrent

1. Some torrent clients like uTorrent and BitTorrent have an option to check the quality of the torrent before downloading.
2. If your torrent client doesn’t have an option to check the quality of torrent, then download another torrent client that has this feature and check if the issue is resolved.
   
3. Check your internet connection
   The first thing you need to check is your internet bandwidth.
4. Check if the torrent client is downloading at full speed or not?
5. If the internet bandwidth is low, then you can download torrents from another device with better bandwidth.
6. Change your torrent client
7. Other torrent clients also have their own set of issues.
8. If the torrent is downloading slow, then it’s possible that the problem is with your torrent client and not with the torrent.
   
9. Try downloading torrents from a different torrent client.
