I have been a member of fearnopeer for quite a few years, but before this week I have never used the REQUEST feature. I turned to it now because after I reported that a series of downloads was for a different TV show than that indicated, and I had made the comment that I had been so excited about watching the one it falsely purported to be, the fearnopeer administrator suggested I use the Request feature to obtain the one I wanted. I did not thoroughly research the Request feature due to work time constraints so I am wondering if I did something wrong in the process and that is why the items are not downloading to me but are apparently to others.
Three items I requested on Monday (from 10A to 2p Central timer) were very quickly uploaded to the site.However, when I attempt to download them, almost nothing occurs. Here are the three items (each a season of a television show)
TV Show 1 (2010) S01
0M of 21.1G downloaded after over 28 hours
TV Show 2 (2018) S01
294M of 23.3G downloaded after over 24 hours
TV Show 3(2007) S01
358M of 15.0G downloaded after over 24 hours
I have checked all three on the site and each indicates uploading and downloading activity and multiple complete downloads. Additionally, I have successfully downloaded over 30 other television items during that time. There is ZERO downloading currently being reflected on my Tixati screen for these three since late Monday afternoon.
I checked the HELP feature and did not discover any apparent answer.
Am I missing some step necessary after a request? If so, my apologies for a rookie mistake! Any other thoughts as to why the issues is related to these three requests and nothing else?
I have completed FORCE CHECK on each one multiple times.
I have completed FORCE AND ANNOUNCE on each one multiple times.
I have deleted each one from the Tixati download list multiple times and then selected the download command again for each multiple times.
I have closed Tixati and re-opened it three times.
I have re-booted the computer twice.
I have checked Tixati to make sure the program is current on my computer with updates.
Even after all this, those three torrents will not download
In reviewing the torrent related information, it appears that others have been able to successfully download these torrents.
And, the problem for me is isolated to just these three. I have been able to successfully download more than 20 other torrents during this time period with no problems.
I was really hoping that someone could point out some I was either doing incorrectly or not doing that needed to be done. I would even accept any other way to obtain those three shows,
Thank-you in advance for your help!

We have no idea how some site works, but it's quite simple with torrents. First, you check that your tracker(s) status shows no errors, and that you get some peers from there. Second, you check if connections to peers are made, and how much data they report (full seeds, partial seeds, or empty).
If you don't have a public dedicated IP address with forwarded ports, it is possible that you can't connect to many other passive users, and that seeds on that torrent are passive, too. Then you can only get data from randomly appearing peers with dedicated addresses.
Have you got the same segments each time, or different ones? Have you waited long enough? Nothing requires a single peer to upload to you constantly, it could pause and upload to others, especially if all of you can't connect to each other.
Are there tracker limits on amount of downloaded data? It is possible that each time you tried to get it, the stats increased, and the tracker count you as a full seeder (silly but possible). Does the tracker give you any peers? Ask your tracker support about that.
