So, I don't know if anybody else has been having the same problems, but lately we can't download anything from Minonova or Pirate Bay.
When we do, it comes up as an error and 'path not found' or something like that.
Anyone else come across this and know how to fix it?? Please?
Or if not, what other torrent/share sites are out there that are good?

Thanks.

Did you change anything on your torrent client lately or perhaps delete or change the download or .torrents directory on your computer? (that would typically be the cause of that kind of error message).

I have no problem with pirate bay (just downloaded a file to be sure).

what are you using to d/l torrent? Some trackers won't allow certain programs to be used to d/l. all trackers seems to like utorrent. certain trackers are fickle about other programs.

those public sites are breeding grounds for dupes and virus' I am pretty sure you can use any client you want with them.

We're using uTorrent. Been using it happily for 9 months or so. It just suddenly went off.
I'll check the computer files and paths, see where we went wrong. Thought maybe they had put up a firewall or locked our IP address.

Thanks.
