Why torrents do not work and how to fix it

Many of us love movies, music, games, but all this is quite expensive. The cost is calculated in dollar terms, but, as you know, now is not the best time to purchase any product whose price is determined in dollars. Good and not so pirates come to our aid - guardians of justice and free cinema. But the Earth is round, so these people have a lot of problems. Today we will try to solve them in order to say: "The treasured cinema is completely free!". In this article we will also explain why torrents do not work, the dangers of their use, and also what to do if in your country the torrent is blocked at the state level. This article is recommended exclusively for beginners of the Windows operating system.

What is torrent and tracker

First, it’s worth understanding how the world’s pirate web called Torrent works. Everyone knows the name of this program, because there are so many lovers of free software and films, and I don’t want to pay a lot of money to the publisher. The people who created this program operated on a similar train of thought, because at first the Internet was absolutely free, so why should it be paid now?

So, the file itself is initially uploaded by one person to the torrent, after which a special file of the same name is created, with which you can download the contents - the torrent file. Many have seen that any downloadable file does not create a copy of itself on the computer, but simply goes somewhere. So, this is “somewhere” and there are all connected users to the torrent network.

Thanks to such a cunning technology, it is almost impossible to find the computer that uploaded the file, so the search for hackers on this network is sometimes unsuccessful. Now the question is what is a tracker.

As already mentioned, access to the contents of a torrent can be obtained through the file of the same name, but how to transfer it to other users interested in this? Of course, through the site - this is the torrent tracker. It consists of several parts, including a server with a database, where all torrent files are stored, through which ordinary users can download certain files.

The main problem is that the site can be very easily blocked, and this is a fairly popular phenomenon in our country. Everyone remembers the most popular torrent tracker “Rutor” - it is no longer there because it was blocked. Access to the site is possible exclusively through a VPN.

So we figured out why torrent trackers do not work. In the next paragraph, we talked about the main reasons for blocking, after which we will tell you how to bypass the blocking.

Reasons why the torrent tracker does not work

Many antivirus manufacturers have a negative attitude towards torrents, so the name of the torrent file is often sewn into the database of any such program, or when installing the tracker, the antivirus is rampant and asks you to help him remove this program. It is possible that your favorite torrent tracker has not been blocked, and your antivirus is blocking it. Inactivate it, then try again.

Also, if your favorite tracker has any problems with the equipment, then downloading in this case will also be impossible. Therefore, we recommend that you go to the official website of the tracker and read the latest news.

If we talk about why the authorities block torrents, the answer is obvious - a very large market and capital turnover, which is in no way taxable. By the way, in Western countries people are even afraid to use torrents, because this is illegal, and when this program is detected, a very large fine can shine on a computer.

Why the torrent client called UTorrent does not work

As mentioned in the paragraph above - try to suspend your antivirus tool. During the download, your computer connects to many others, which is very similar to a DDOS attack. If you are wondering why the “Zone” does not work torrent, then the answer will be similar. At its core, the “Zone” is identical to its original, it only has the function of searching for all available torrents. Try also to update these two programs to the latest version. If it does not help, then it is worth using a VPN - this is a means by which your IP address becomes different, for example, a French citizen. In this way, many people download torrents.

Ways to Bypass Lock

In the paragraph on why torrents do not work, we already touched on the fact that the government is blocking trackers. There is another way to transfer torrents from hand to hand - this is Magnet-links that perform the same role as their file counterparts, but their accumulation is much more difficult to track and delete. There are many sites on the Internet where movies, music, games and much more are distributed exclusively through such links.

Finally

We hope that after reading the article about why torrents do not work, you understand the main reasons for their exit from working states. We also strongly discourage the use of such resources for file transfer, as this may be considered a violation of copyright.
