Why do torrents stick at downloading metadata

Go to topic listing. Maybe not the Programs fault. Can be that the seeders block some service? Re: Magnet link stuck with "torrent metadata needed" Post by blacke4dawn » Thu Jun 21, pm Fully possible that there is some block somewhere.

There are so many steps in this that it's very hard to pinpoint the exact place of failure, and there is only so much the devs of the client can do. Re: Magnet link stuck with "torrent metadata needed" Post by drohr » Sat Jun 23, pm I'm having the same issue.

Never had any issues with Transmission before. Installed a new computer at home. Migrated my settings. After this every magnet link gets stuck. They where working instantly before. Tried redownloading, removing settings. Nothing works. Tested uTorrent, and that works perfectly.

I have a quad core cpu. I made a new build. Can you test it and tell if you have the same issues? There is high probability that you don't get any ip blocked messages now. I have disabled that.

Remind me in the weekend to prepare for you a new msvc build. Then I want you to create a mini dump from process explorer. The build you're using is build with gcc and it has different symbols and I am not sure I'll be able to get the minidump to work with gdb. I have the same problem with version 4. On three popular torrents with over reported seeds, I was stuck at "downloading metadata" for an hour with no peers or seeds found.

I downloaded Deluge onto the same system and set up my proxy info exactly as I have it in qBittorrent, and it started downloading all torrents immediately. The log doesn't reveal anything interesting as far as I can see; just routine actions such as "torrent added. I'm on 4. I suddenly can't seem to get any to start downloading. Yea no I will just close this, it was a issue. Skip to content. Star New issue. Jump to bottom.
