Well Barlou12,
I have no idea what she is talking about but...i do have an issue maybe you can help me with. Anytime I select a torrent to download, a webpage automatically opens saying it is "Torrent Details" but the page never completely loads. Then on FW the download automatically goes from "Connecting..." to "Aborted" and nothing ever downloads. I have a great connection but again everything always aborts automatically. Any thoughts?

Thanks,
Doug

p.s. I'm running FW 4.21 with Java 1.6 on Windows 7

[barlou12]

hey doug.best,

torrents on FW are still a pain, its better, ive found, to search piratebay for what you want, there you can check the seeds, file quality and hosts reputation.

save the torrent to desktop. from there, right click on the icon and select open with FW.

or, get utorrent, bit torrent or a differernt torrent downloader, they sort of work good, if you like torrents

that torrent details page,?,?,? i dont know ive seen it, but cant work out why????
im sure it was meant to do something, but its not doing much for me either.

pirate bay opens a poker site in a new window on my computer, just close it. unless you think they really are giving away free money.

@warlord, the fact ids that not every file will download for various reasons, and if this happens re-search and try again. To check that your downloading ability is there go to your connections tab, and brows athe host of one of the 5 connections you will normally see there. If you are unable to browse them remove. If you can browse check that they are sharing a decent looking collection ( it need not be a lot of files) and try to download anything .. you can always delete it, just to see if you can download.

i am having a similar problem...i just deleted and re-downloaded the newest version of frostwire, and i have windows 7. the connection says its turbo charged, but anytime i try to download a song it says "queued" but never downloads. help please! i need new music in my life...

@meemee if this is for audio/songs the answer may be to go to tools > options > downloads ad check your maximum downloads is not set to zero, but if you are not selecting audio before searching the n you are in fact trying to download torrents which do give this problems sometimes. Let us know if this helps.
