Now on a relevant to the article note, I too noticed that my torrents ‘about to finished’ last night were again reading the story of 500 weeks this morning & when I peeked into the matter, it turned out that all of the torrents exciting + new one’s have refused to pace forwad anymore for some unknown reasons so I called in Ptcl, asking the matter and they were like, there’s nothing wrong from our side and I needed to check out other thingys. is anyone out there who can clear this confusion by any ideal mean? Pls oNE JUst SimPLY Can’t RemoVe ANtiVirus FOR ANY TORRENTSĪnd I think, we’re a little too lost now since the article is pinpointing at PTCL and the comments are talking about some God forsaken cables. “remove antivirus to get torrents downloaded.” Pls show some mercy to the poor humanity. However, if this blocking continues after the issue is fixed, then I will have a genuine problem with PTCL.ĭisclaimer: I am in no way associated with PTCL I am personally perfectly fine with this till the time the cable is mended and normal service restores. So, in order to conserve the bandwidth for some better usage and not waste everything on downloading, PTCL has blocked torrent trackers.

The undersea cable is broke and it is being mended right now.

Why PTCL is doing this? Well, the reason is very simple. However, if you try to add a new torrent, it won’t simply work. Thats why some people say that their torrents are downloading fine. This means that if you have a running torrent whose trackers are valid, your torrent will keep downloading. So if one goes down, they search for an alternative and hook you up with that.

These trackers actively keep looking for seeders, peers, leechers and the like and keep your torrent client connected to others. Torrent protocol is based on little devils called torrent trackers which are in fact some software agents. PTCL is not blocking torrents, it is blocking torrent trackers. Since you opted not to explain in spite of knowing the inside details and PTCL/Government’s conspiracies, let me explain… If you are the know all and be all of p2p and streaming technology then simply enlighten others, otherwise avoid this abusive language. Seriously dude, you should watch your language.
