"Problem connecting to tracker - Connection Refused"

Post by ExVee »

I've been getting this on Go-onger 21 and the Net Movie since last night. I'm using G3 Torrent. Is it maybe to do with whatever server work was being done in the middle of the night, or do I have some problem on my end that needs resolved?

I wasn't sure about it, but it looks like that torrent was non-standard. If someone with a complete copy can create a new one, we'll just replace it on the tracker

Okay, but for both of those? Plus, I just tried starting Keitai Sousakan episode 11, and the very same thing is happening. I picked keitai at random to test - doesn't it seem kind of unlikely it'd be the same issue on three separate releases?

Dunno, are a lot of people getting that problem? If not, it might just be a problem with your firewall or router or whatever

Well, I can guarantee it's not a router issue, and I hadn't made any changes to my firewall before this started not working. Friday night everything was working. I paused the torrents during the day, and went back to pick them up again last night, around 1am, and they didn't work anymore. Is it even possible this is connected to whatever server work you were doing last night? That is the only thing I'm aware of having been changed on either end between the time it worked and when it didn't.

Maybe your ISP pulled a comcast and started throttling your torrents.

Have you tried using uTorrent?

Nicer program to be sure, but it doesn't actually appear any happier than G3 was.

Yes. "Problem connecting to tracker [http://www.tvnihon.com:6969/announce] - <urlopen error (10061, 'Connection refused')>" The most relevant parts of which I used as the thread title. I get exactly the same error with each torrent I've tried.

I replaced the go-onger 21 torrent with Adam's help. Let us know if that still causes problems

Just tried, same error message. Though I notice the tracker is at least acknowledging the traffic for that version of the torrent. That has to be a step in the right direction anyway.

Hi. I'm dl-ing go-onger torrents. I'm also getting the same error. I'm using uTorrent 1.7.7 and since last night (my TimeZone is GMT+7) it's keep throwing "No connection could be made because the target machine actively refusing it." It was working yesterday. Now I'm getting a torrent from another site and it's working smoothly. So I know only to tvnihon I'm getting that error. I tried restarting uTorrent, even my PC, still. I'm also tried to dl another torrent from TN, also error. When I opened http://www.tvnihon.com:6969/ from browser, and it's throwing this message:
While trying to retrieve the URL: http://www.tvnihon.com:6969/
The following error was encountered:
* Connection to 85.17.92.147 Failed
The system returned:
(111) Connection refused
The remote host or network may be down. Please try the request again.
Usually it's returning a non-error message.

thanks. hope this can help to work around the problems.

Were you trying to connect during the time when the tracker was down?

Tracker Downtime Tonight
All tracker related services will go down at roughly 9 or 10 PM CDT tonight (July 23) for an upgrade. Downtime will be approximately 30 minutes to an hour. Once the new tracker goes online you may encounter random errors on the site for an hour or two. If the errors persist, feel free to contact me with the details of the errors.
It says "an hour or two", but I'm getting error for Hours... But it's working now... maybe around 6-7 hours ago.

Thanks alot!!! :D
