HTTP 303 error in pvt. torrents

[Kilroyquasar]

Hello!

a friend of mine recently got a 4 mbps unltd plan from smartlink mumbai. he downloaded some patch file from a pvt. tracker, which downloaded successfully, but since then, he's unable to download anything from any pvt. tracker. utorrent shows a status-message - 'HTTP 303 error; retrying in 21 seconds', something like that. could someone pls tell what could be the issue and how to resolve it?

thanks!

what was the 'patch' for and what did it claim to do or patch ?

 

[Kilroyquasar]

i didn't ask him about it. he mostly downloads games so i presume it was something for a game (X360).

 

[raksrules]

Ohk. I though the patch was related to patching something in torrent software or something.
Public trackers work fine ? Tried TPB?

 

[Kilroyquasar]

yes. public ones are working fine. i think it may be something to do from ISP-side, as i have read earlier that certains ISP's actively throttle/block torrent-downloads. though the case is different here, but may be the ISP has its hand in it?

Set your encryption to Required.

sorry, but this will be in...?

sorry, but this will be in...?

Probably the settings in your torrent client.

alright. thanks! i will tell him to do this tonight and will write back here to tell if it worked or not.

Also do a bit torrent throttle test to verify whether any throttling is happening from ISP or not

 

[Kilroyquasar]

will be done.
