Wax On Posted May 12, 2014 Share Posted May 12, 2014 Trying to torrent GoT to my phone whilst at work, but the torrents aren't downloading. Should I need to change any settings? Or would it not work at all on mobile data? Thx Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steve Posted May 12, 2014 Share Posted May 12, 2014 It's hard to offer help for this, but my guess would be that it's either a configuration issue, or it's that your mobile provider blocks torrent traffic on their network. You could rule out the latter by connecting to wifi. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Frost Posted May 12, 2014 Share Posted May 12, 2014 Never got it working on mine. I think they packet sniff the headers and can tell when you're trying to download a huge file that isn't a torrent also. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

savwar Posted May 12, 2014 Share Posted May 12, 2014 another option, is to set up chrome remote desktop on your phone, and control your pc at home so that its' there waiting for you when you get home. unless the stealing of the work wifi is the point...there's no wifi in my office so i'm considering trying out reverse tethering and getting the LAN to pass internet to my phone... also what torrent client are you using ttorrent just stopped working for me one day, but utorrent is fine...

Guest rasteri Posted May 13, 2014 Share Posted May 13, 2014 My network blocks torrent traffic - I just use a VPN. Also makes Skype work properly. https://privatevpn.com/ is a good one Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
