I ether get 'operation has timed out' or 'can't get data from tracker' error. What does this mean?

ping torrents.freebsd.org
You should not lose any packets either when you ping. If you have 100% loss, I suspect your have a very restrictive firewall or ISP :. Or your ISP does not have a good DNS (Domain Name Service) server if the error is that it can't find that hostname's IP address.C:\>ping torrents.freebsd.org

I don't think so. I've successfully downloaded torrents that eyore has seeded. I'm going to seed The Forever Project torrent as well. If I see the same thing as eyore (a peer sporadically attempting to download), then it might be time to run some traceroutes.Timekeeper said:Still connecting...does the geographic region affect how the torrent goes to and from?
Sorry Eyore! My Mistake! I did check my Utorrent client and it does not list any infomation on a username.eyore said:Ok so now I need to ask a question.
Where does a user name show up when downloading torrents?
Under "peers" (in Utorrent) I get a flag and an IP address. No usernames.
