bit torrent problem

Trying to download some photoshop help docs from Supernova - left the pc on
overnight, the little download box opens up, pastes the empty file name to
the desktop
and then sits there - occasionally pops up another box with an OK button:


"problem connecting to tracker <urlopenerror (7, getaddrinfo failed)>"

my zonealarm, NAV, NIE is all open to accept downloads (limewire, NG etc all
work fine)



any ideas? or is it just plain slow? like 2 days slow?

 

Just get it from another site.

 

sorry im new to all this

where could i go?

 

You could delete all your Temp Inet files and Temp files and try again from
the same site, or download from a different site.
You need to spell out what it is you are looking for. Alternate sites
don't come blind.

 

oh ok, thanks

im looking for documents and software

 

You lost me BOB. Do you know how to delete your temporary internet files
and the temp direrctory content? If you do this and try again, chances are
good you can get there.
If not, what is it you are trying to download, and somebody will give you
an alternative site. Docs and software is not a helpful description.

 

I have used Suprnova and Bittorrent with no problems. Watch out for a fake
Suprnova site which looks the same but wants money from you. Have just
tried "Adobe Photoshop CS Classroom in a Book.pdf and no problems.
http://www.suprnova.org/
under "Misc/Manuals".
Look at the number of seeds, this is the number of sources where the file is
available.
That error message also comes up regularly with me but doesn't seem to
affect download.

 

Not 100% sure but I think that this error message means that one of the
sources has dropped out. Also it may take a while for the download to start
and the speed picks up slowly.
