I am in the middle of downloading something from the pirate bay using Bit Lord. Now before you tell me to get a new P2P client b/c BitLord sucks, I am 48.6% done on a 28 GB download, it took me several days to get to that point, and I'd really like to finish on Bitlord if I can. I have been using bitlord for a couple years now, although I don't download stuff on the bittorrent very often, so I'm more or less a neophyte.
The basic problem is that it won't connect. I leave it on for days and it doesn't pick up again. It seems to still be well-seeded, when I search on torrentman I get a solid green bar. Before I couldn't connect anymore, anytime I started up again it connected right up with several seeders.
I have to stop and start a lot because my wife complains that the download slows the whole Internet connection down, and when I'm doing something time sensitive, the slowness of my connection really gets on my nerves, so I pause it, then I unpause it when I am finished. Right before I became unable to reconnect I unplugged my router because I wanted to put it in another wall jack, forgetting that I was in the middle of downloading. Now I am unable to connect at all, constantly getting 10060 errors. Is it possible that because I kept stopping and starting, they've blocked me? I even tried to reconnect using hide my ip, no dice. I'd really like to finish this download.
Thank you in advance for your help!

Sound's like you've heard the speech before but BitLord is based on old BitComet technology, bug's and all. You can resume your download in another client without losing anything, just start your torrent in another client using the same download folder your file is in plus you might not have to start and stop all the time. You'll probably be asked if you want to set it as the default if you keep BitLord. Give utorrent a shot and if you don't have the original torrent to start the download, go back to TPB (or even the identical one from another site) and get it again. If surfing is too slow, you can try setting the Global connections and also total connected peer's down at option's>preference's>bittorrent or speed's down. Make sure your HDD has enough room for a file that big too. Now there a ton of other issue's here if you plan on downloading regularly, what port, is router forwarded, does it need a static ip, does ISP throttle, any firewall, setting your upload rate to 80%, do you use an ip blocker (you should any time you download), UPnP disabled, Protocol Encryption maybe, randomize port disabled (think it is in latest utorrent), what OS? Think that's it, not as much as it look's.

Don't delete BitLord yet if your file is in a BitLord folder. Be sure you move it first or you will lose it. Edit: actually, don't delete anything except the torrent in BitLord and then reopen it (it will resume where it left off), until the file is finished and safely moved if it need's. if BitLord has configureable Global connection setting's, lower them, that may help surfing.

Hi Misty cat. I am trying to resume my bitlord download in utorrent but it is not working. utorrent is working fine however, I just don't want to start from the beginning. Could you give me step by step instructions on how to resume the download in utorrent? (tell me what menu options to select, etc.) thanks!

Actually I just figured it out. Now I have to find out why my d/l speed averages 6 kb/s and my upload speed averages 50 kb/s! (And how to fix that!)

Just start the download in utorrent, it'll check and pick up where it left off. The only setting to make in utorrent is to make sure it's download folder (probably in option's>preference's>general or download's or something similar) is the same one BitLord was downloading to or it will start over. If utorrent can't see your file, it can't resume and will start it again.

Just saw your other post. Your low speed is more than likely due to not having your router forwarded and maybe needing a static ip address with that, an ISP that throttle's, firewall, could be number of seed's and peer's and amount the peer's have compared to you. Check for your ISP here or what is it: http://www.azureuswiki.com/index.php/Bad_ISPs Go here, find your router and click on it, find utorrent, click on it and follow the direction's. If you need a static ip, they have a guide for that too, just watch out for the DNS Server (s) being the same as the Default Gateway: http://www.portforward.com/english/route...routerindex.htm Make utorrent or its port an exception in any firewall you use (use a port over 10,000), even Window's, disable UPnP in utorrent at option's>preference's>connection (make sure randomize is disabled too). Take this speed test too (later at various time's to get a good average) and use its upload result in the number closest to it (up or down) at option's>speed guide>connection type (you'll need to change the setting in the speed test to kb, upper left): http://www.speedtest.net/ Do a port check at option's>speed guide>port check or something, should show green hopefully. Edit: you should be using some kind of ip blocker too when downloading, Peer Guardian work's well, won't slow surfing but is going to block some site's. Depend's on OS what version to use. For Vista, it's still an RC but has been out for age's.
