I've got my RSS feeds working well now, however I've noticed that sometimes a torrent won't download unless I restart Vuze. Mind you, other torrents will be doing just fine d/l at 4 mb/s or so, and then there will be one with lots of seeds that just sits there with a red unhappy face. Once I restart though, everything downloads fine.
I'm using a proxy provided by PIA, so I'm thinking that's the issue. What's the best way to handle this so everything will download automatically? Is there a plugin that will restart vuze every 6 hours or so to catch any lingering torrents that have gotten stuck? Or is there maybe a better solution?

I do use the RSS feeds but not that much so my experience is a little limited but let me try to help anyhow.
When you notice the stuck state . . . how long has the torrent been available?
Is the time that the torrent been available more or less than the schedule check interval you set up?
The only time I have had a similar issue is when:
1) The available time is less the check interval
2) There was a temporary problem with the site that I automatically download from
In the case of #1 I just wait it out . . . or I right click on the subscription and choose "update now"
In the case of #2 the only thing that has worked for me was manually downloading the .torrent file from the torrent site in question.
Maybe rebooting Vuze would work . . . but I hate doing that so I have never tried. LOL

Well I am glad you found something that works.
The problem with that approach is that with the way the Torrent protocol is written the more/longer you seed the more preferred you are as a peer. So by restarting Vuze every 30 mintues (or whatever) you are decreasing the likelihood of becoming one of the preferred seeders. Now if the torrent site in question is a public site where ratios are not tracked or you have a big ratio buffer on a private site that is not a problem . . . but if you are having difficulty maintain a ratio at a private site . . . I would not recommend that solution!

Thanks for the tip. I'm not using any private trackers right now. But if I do, then you are right, and I'll probably set it to restart every 6 hours.

I think the solution is to simply hit the back button in the browser and try to download the torrent again. The download torrent button only triggers the advertisement re-direct the first time you try to download the magnet-link/.torrent file.
I so rarely use public sites that I do not pay very close attention to everything I have read about them. I seem to remember reading somewhere that there are certain URL's you can use to access KAT (KickAss Torrents) that do not do the auto-redirect to an advertisement but I have no idea what the URL might be.

Thank you I have tried the same button several times and the same thing keeps happening I'm at a total loss, can you reccomend any other torrent websites or anything I can use to download films in order to watch when I'm offline?

Vuze and Bit-Che
Have always used bit-che as my torrent searcher. I double-click on wanted torrent in bit-che and it automatically opens the torrent window in azureus. For some unknown reason, bit-che and azureus no longer function properly together. Instead it opens a second azureus program which it shouldn't. If I shut-down azureus, then bit-che will open azureus and load the torrent onto azureus as it should. However, when I try to download another torrent from bit-che, the same problem occurs--a second azurius opens and the torrent fails to load. I must again shut down azureus completely to download the next torrent from bit-che.
Any ideas as to what may be causing this?
