I've got a macbook pro 10.5.4, BitTorrent will not download, it just says "checking for firewall". The program did work before as I have about 50% of a file downloaded, I think it may have something to do with a security update recently downloaded, but I can't be sure.
View 1 RepliesI have used Azureus on this computer with this cable modem for over 2 years with no problem. Recently, I bought a new Mac Mini. I bought a router to hook them all up (Belkin G Wireless F5D7234-4 v4, firmware up-to-date). Everything works nicely. Except, now whenever I start up Azureus, web pages either load very slowly or not at all, usually hanging up on contacting the server. Likewise, my email program is unable to fetch or deliver mail reliable. As soon as I shut down Azureus, these problems clear up.
I'm still able to transfer files between the 2 machines while this is going on, it's just that neither one can reliably get through to the Net. (I thought UPnP might be a problem, so I shut that off in Azureus and forwarded the ports manually in the router. No change.) I don't think this is in any way connected, but I've noticed I can't set the admin password on the router. If I do, it appears to accept it, but then I can't log back into the router with either the default or my new password.
I've been looking for a decent P2P software for Mac. It seems that the selection is pretty limited. I understood the best eMule client is aMule (which is not very good...) What is the best BitTorrent client? And best overall P2P software?

View 2 Replies View RelatedI recently discovered a BitTorrent of great interest and after reading a little, found that I had a few questions that need answering before I dip my toe in to the unknown.
Q - is a BitTorrent client the same as an FTP client, and if not, what exactly is the difference?
Q - in looking to install a BitTorrent client that is both easy to configure and use, which of Fetch, Transmission, Vuze, BitTorrent etc would you recommend and why?
Q - can you point me to any other references or sites that may shed further light on what at face value I find to be quite a mystery?
Would anybody be kind enough as to guide me through downloading a .torrent file? I've tried several times using BitTorrent, and only recieve error messages and whatnot. I have an imac G5 with OS X version 10.4.6
View 24 Replies View RelatedThere's a bug in Transmission (the torrent program) that causes Macs to slowly crash and die. But it's really sneaky because it doesn't appear to be caused by Transmission, even though it actually is. I thought this was important enough that everyone here needs to know about it because I'm an expert Mac user and even I didn't figure out that Transmission was the culprit for quite some time. I thought the problem was a sign of my Mac breaking. What happens is your net connection stops working and you stop being able to switch open programs and/or you can't quit applications and you can't restart you computer without resorting to holding down the power button until it restarts, or other similar nuclear problems.

I recently uninstalled transmission the bitTorrent client. I did this because it was taking too long and was told uninstalling it and reinstalling it might help. When I went to reinstall it nothing happened. I clicked on the download button and the screen moved on to a plain white screen with the words transferring data at the bottom, the cursor had its little egg timer thing but it just sat there for ages. Nothing happened and after a few minutes I tried another client, same thing happened again. Or is it just me making a fool of myself? I use max OS X 10.4.11 and my ISP is bt.

Whenever I use Utorrent or Bittorrent it downloads fine for about a minute then comes up with either "error invalid download state, try resuming" or "Error Permission denied" I have obviously tried resuming the torrents but the same happens in another minute or so.
View 1 Replies View RelatedI'm on a very small college campus where they graciously block every port except for web and a few other app ports (iChat video doesn't work, SMTP ports are blocked, and of course bit torrent doesn't work). I can usually get connected to the tracker, but no peers ever connect. Now for those who may chastise me for using bit torrent, I'm downloading a video my friend made in the US, so there is no legal aspect to this.
View 4 Replies View RelatedI think there's something wrong with my Mac. The surfing speed for web pages can be extremely slow, even when I checked bittorrent download speeds to be above 25kbps. Even for webpages like major sites like amazon.com and flickr. Any ideas if there's any setting I need to tweak. I've tried different browsers and it's still the same.
Here are some extra info:
- Max possible download speed 800kbps
- Torrenting and downloading at same time. I download small items so torrent speed is typically around 25kbps
- One other user in network. I'm using WiFi on a Buffalo router, and cable modem.
Problem starts after surfing for a while. Maybe 10-20 minutes after logging into the network.
I have been experimenting with many bittorrent clients for mac (utorrent, vuze, transmision, tomatotorrent) and they are all consistently slower to download a file that the original Bittorrent client for Windows. I compared them downloading the same file at the same time (the windows client running under parallels), and always the windows client beats the hell of the others. Is there a mac client comparably fast to the windows one?

View 12 Replies View RelatedI'm new to Mac and downloaded Transmission. Coming from a PC, it seems too simple to function so smoothly. But, I still have questions. On a PC, I used to use Azureus and Peerguardian. But, I'm at a loss as to what I need for a Mac.
1. Anyway, what settings should I have on Transmission?
2. Under Preferences, I checked the Blocklist box "Prevent known bad peers from connecting." Does this act like Peerguardian?
3. Should I download Peerguardian for the Mac? Is Transmission sufficient?
4. What other applications do you recommend?
Since changing my ISP I have been unable to download anything through any bittorrent client. I've tried Tomato torrent, which gets stuck on the 'getting torrent info' part and Bits on Wheels, which gives me the tracking reply: 'problem communicating with web proxy server; I'm pretty sure that it's something to do with my network settings. The only problem being that I haven't a clue where to start! I have a 13" Macbook - pretty standard apart from a few upgrades to RAM and memory.

View 3 Replies View RelatedI am Having some issues with Safari (I am using 4.0.5), if I open up a website the screen stays white like it normally does for a sec to load a web page but the loading icon keeps spinning and spinning and spinning....... until I click the "X" stop icon and reload the web page. As soon as I click the reload icon the webpage loads up instantly, it is getting really annoying and would be great if anyone has a fix. This doesn't happen all the time, but it does happen frequently and then be fine for a few web pages and then start up again.
View 3 Replies View RelatedThis doesn't have to do with OS X as much as it does my ISP (Comcast 15Mbps/3Mbps Down/Up). Comcast states you get speeds "Up to" those advertised which basically means you will never get those speeds but once in a blue moon it could happen.
I've been watching my Router activity for a few minutes (see Top graph of the attached image) and I never get near either of those advertised speeds as expected. I am downloading Xcode DMG from Apple and a few torrents are running with no bandwidth restrictions.
My question is currently I'm getting about 50% of my advertised bandwidth, if I reduced down to the 1.5 Mbps Comcast package would I probably still only get 50% of that bandwidth? I think I already know the answer but was curious what you guys thought.

A bunch of the Files and Folders have a Date Created of Dec 31, 1903 8:00PM.
The Date Modified is correct.
It's not every file/folder either. Mostly contained in one directory I have with client files in it.
I have:
- Reset PRAM
- Reset SMC
- Verified Permissions, Disks
- Deleted Finder's plist
So far, still happening.
Anyone have a clue as to what to check next?
