Specifically torrentbytes on Linux. On Linux mint I can download from other sites no problem but if I click a torrentbytes link, it sits there with no seeders forever. I installed arch and a client as a test and it downloaded no problem. Does anyone know why.? What’s the difference between Linux mint and arch that seems to block torrent downloads?

There is also biglybt that I heard is good for some few seeds/hard to download torrents.

Have you opened a port in your firewall?

No, as I said, I can download just fine from other sites.

Well, you do you, but I’d give that a go just to remove it from the list of possible problems.

With the limited info you have given my first thoughts would be: dns: ipv6 vs 4; firewall; basically anything network related
