Well, don't know what's wrong, but not a single anime episode ( all recents like P4 ep 17, BRS ep 1) is downloading. I use utorrent 2.2.1, but every single anime torrent cannot find the host (always get hostname not found and tracker name is always some numbers followed by nonexistent.com/announce), so I get no seeds/peers. I'm good with pc, ports are forwarded correctly, configuation has always been the same, but this last week, nothing works. Hell, I thought maybe I had a virus/malware, but avast/mbam/sas don't report any issues.
I wondering if it has anything to do with the file hosting shutdown, like trackers are going down as well at least on the US side.
Any ideas?
P.S. Sorry if it's the wrong forum, but since MU is pretty much the only manga/anime forum that I use, I thought I'd ask.

Well BTJunkie went down today I think, are you sure the torrents aren't external and originating from there?

I'm not sure, but using the torrent links on BU, I've remarked that any release posted without visible seeds/peers on that page result in non-working torrent.
Oh well, I'm back to irc.

From what I've seen, BU links to Nyaa, which recently changed some stuff, which would explain why it doesn't connect to the host.

oh, that's it. Thx you Identity Crisis. Had to enable UDP support.
