I have the same problem. Happened to me Tuesday morning around 3am. All of a sudden, ALL trackers give the "connection closed by peer" error.

I'm using uTorrent, but tested with Azureus and the original Bittorrent, both same problem. I even changed computers, changed modem, changed different IPs, changed lines (I have 2 streamyx account/phone line here), and still the same problem. I "borrowed" my friend's account, still doesn't work.

I tested it on my friend's connection, it works fine. Weird. I think tmnet has found the Achilles heel of torrents. cry.gif I'm just curious how/where are they implementing this since it doesn't affect my friend's connection.

I have no issues with speed (I get >150KB/sec), but what good is speed without being able to connect to trackers?

The more important question is, what am I gonna say to tmnet when I file a complaint? tongue.gif

Funny this is I can still download eventhough the tracker connection is closed. Could it be because of having DHT enabled?

DHT still works, apparently. I have no issues with torrents that allow DHT. Brilliant speeds.

The problem is with torrents from private trackers that disables DHT.
