Any problem downloading torrents? - Windows 8 General

Since I upgraded to windows 8.1 I've been unable to download torrents using Torres or another app. IS've been looking for firewall blocker but I could not find it. Any ideas?

I grab most of the Humble Bundle games using torrent, works fine on Win8.0 (haven't tried on 8.1 yet). I use uTorrent and Opera; both work.

my comp won't let me download real pocket player. any other apps that will work?
anyone else having a problem installing realone player for PPC? i've tried both the regular and beta version, and on 2 computers both giving the same error that I need to install ActiveSync 3.1 or later. I have ActiveSync 4.1 on both of my PCs and I keep getting the error. my Activesync is working fine. I copied the executable file to my 8125 but it can't run/installed like that. any ideas?
thx
bump
which file did you try and install? i got the same error you did with the activesync when i tried this file... "RealPlayer for Pocket PC 1.1 Preview Release"
its beta im guessing and its a bug. but i installe dthe current stable one.... "RealPlayer for Pocket PC 1.0" and worked fine. i got the links here.....

Guys, if you don't want to install additional software, you can add your PPC as a device to RealPlayer and sync Real files to play on WM10.
When I try to install it Im getting a message...
Realoneplayerppc is not a valid pocket pc applicatiopn

'cause you're supposed to run that file on your desktop not the phone.
I installed Real player through AS 4.1 with no problems. Great for bbc radio broadcasts.
I got it installed and it wont play the file! Ah well. Do I need to convert it somehow?
On the BBC radio site where is has a link that says listen using stand alone real player, right click and copy that link to your wizard. Clicking on that file should open real player and begin to play your broadcast.
Will it not play videos though? I want it to play my south park vids
RealPlayer Link
Here is the link to download the CAB file so you can install Realplayer on your WM5 device without activesync.
http://www.savefile.com/files.php?fid=7160593
Copy the file to your Pocket PC and click on it to install.
CAB files within the exe file
If you start to use the realplayer executable file while connected through Activesync but do not complete the install process ie while the install screen is still open go to
START/RUN and type %TMP%
This will open the install directory. Look for a sub dir call ~rmsetup. Within that sub directory you will find the REALPLAYER.CAB file you need. Just copy into your temp directory on wizard and run as usual. It works for both the basic Realplayer and Realplayer with video beta downloadable from their site.
Hope I've explained it clearly enough.
There is also an explanation of how to make the exe file work with activesysnc on the Realplayer forum but I found the above solutions easier.

Hope this helps
Ive got it installed but cant play my South Park rm files? Will it only play upto a certain version or something? Any patches available?

Windows Live Problems

Hi guys, I installed the Windows Live Package from http://www.live-messenger.nl/download/WindowsLive.PPC2005_ARM.CAB. It worked perfect, now i wanted to know how much memory this app costed, so i uninstalled it again. But when i tried to install it again, it failed When i open the cab, it loads approx. 5 seconds in the installer, then the installer says Installation of WindowsLive.PPC2005_ARM.CAB has failed Anybody suggestions how i can get this work??
p.s. Without a hard reset
I have also done the same thing and get the same error. I had to uninstall Windows Live Mobile because I was getting an error everytime I tried to launch Live Messenger. Now I can't re-install it again.
I have 2 main ideas:
1st.: Microsoft is cutting the service from these "un-official" releases of their software, as they are trying now to sell Windows Mobile 6 and Windows Live can't be downloaded or installed let's say "legally".
2nd. (which doesn't affect the first one): Microsoft recognizes the WLM software as not pre-installed or being installed on a Windows Mobile 5 device and tells the client to get "blocked", I mean, it writes some values to the registry and prevents being launched or installed again showing the empty error message I had before unistalling it.
Someone can verify any of my ideas or bring a solution to have WLM working again on our WM5 devices?
Thanks in advance.
Romero i've found the problem! I got my hands on an UNdated UNrestricted version. As you said mic. just cut the WLM off. I do not knowe why but here is the fix http://forum.xda-developers.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=36364&d=1175459584

neither of those are correct, the reason is thats its a beta and expired at the beginning of the month. therefore you cant run the program or install it. just get a new beta version by signing up to Microsoft Connect or use the older version thats been extracted from wm6 thats floating around here.
Try it, like the worker:
WindowsLive.PocketPC_50_arm.cab
Thank you very much ASerg!
The version The Dutchman posted was in English, but I find out that the Aserg's file was several kB bigger... That made me think and decided to install this bigger one and finally got Windows Live Mobile working in Spanish, just like before my beta had expired.
So thank you again guys!

Skype and Xperia X1
Have tried installing skype (version 2.2045) using both direct pc and .cab file methods. In both cases, I get the error: couldn't find all the necessary files to start skype. please try to install skype again. skype will now close."
No luck after trying again (several times!). Grateful for suggestions.

2. installation runs properly and soft installed on "\Speicherkarte" (I've got German version of X1).
3. account created, login to skype Ok
4. WiFi up and running
5. skype is running, add contact is fine as well
6. call contact ---> application crash
what to do, how to fix it?
PS. all about this "Current Pocket PC version: 2.5.0.108. Release date: December 9, 2008."

so when we dl from the link that u listed, we dl the pocket pc version?????
cuz when i checked on the site they said that x1 is a smartphone...
sry im kinda lost..
The last version i tested of skype on X1 worked, called, but sound is being routed to the speaker!
there was one small program, Troca2 (search for it) which will route the voice to the earpiece. but don't leave it running after you finish, as everything will be routed to the earpiece including ringing and notifications.
instead of skype, you can use fring, using your mobile, connect to the internet (WiFi or Active Sync doesn't matter), go to www.fring.com from internet explorer and download the application.
once you set it up, register and do all the configuration correctly of skype, go to the options and check the Use Earpiece option.
Fring is working perfectly for me
cheers
Fring works great for me, too. I am using version 3.34, but I heard there is a 3.5 out there now. The only thing I don't like is that the system lags during login, especially if you have a lot of people on your buddy list.
Fring worked with me as well
Fring worked with me fine as well, and the sound came out of the speaker..

OpenVPN and Fascinate

Hello,
I am working on another media sharing idea and I need some help with it. I recently discovered the ability to mount a Windows shared folder transparently on my SDcard(Which means the folder on my Windows PC is on my SDcard on my phone at the sametime). This works over wifi on my home network but I was looking for a method to do over the Internet or 3G and someone had mentioned VPN. After some trial and error, i was unable to make a connection all the way using the native VPN client in Android. After reading these forums, I found others using OpenVPN to accomplish this on HTC phones so I tried it myself using the openvpn app and binary off the market along with jt1134's kernel which is supposed to be compatible but I failed. If anybody knowd how to get this working, please let me know.

Rooting my 2017 16 gb shield help plz

hello all!
i managed to do do the rooting thing by myself (thats what i think) and i just need u guys to tell me if i did right
1- i followed this guide : https://forum.xda-developers.com/shield-tv/development/how-to-root-android-pie-8-0-1-nvidia-t3982709
2- my shield is now showing that error message at the start telling its unlocked,
3- i have now magisk and twrp installed and i can see the root directory.
Now to the things that i need to understand here is what do i need the rooted image from nvidia for? and why cant i access the root from ftp ? only my usb drive and sd card is showing but root not accessed from ftp.
MY android is: 8.1
Thanx in advance for all help.
2- it's not an error, but a warning.
Don't worry about it
The development image from nvidia is running a developer build of android which is prerooted and in theory su's like magisk should be easier to install.
The stock ota/recovery images comes with more protection which makes them harder to root and to do changes to the system, but thanks to people like @rootfan it's pretty much painless.
Are you sure it's ftp and not smb?
Smb just shows the internal and external drives.
If you are using an ftp server app on the shield you need to setup the paths yourself within that app.
Thanx for clearifying this, so in my case i dont need any image cuz i alredy done it i guess.
I tried to set up the ftp server to point to the root directory in my nvidia shield but i could not find any app that can point the root. All apps seems old.
How do you guys fix this?
I'm using servers ultimate.
I also think the app just called ftp server can do it.
Solid explorer might also be able to.
Atleast in servers ultimate I have to manually type in the path which is just "/" that should bring you to the root folder.
I use server ftp and server ultimate. The first one works flowless but no root. The second one that you said have root access but i cant connect to the server for unkbown reason. Could be the port

I tried that ultimate one and it says its runing but i cant connect to it from pc. My unrooted ftp server app works without problems. Any other apps out there that i can try?
Edit: after testing few things i managed to run ftp from browser bytyping ftp:// my external ip : port
But this doesnt work from an ftp client from my pc at the same netwrok. Even if i give the box internal ip.

Which one of the ftp servers within servers ultimate are you running?
I can only get "ftp server" to work and not the native one.

i found the problem, it was network problem, not ftp server, all worked fine, when i changed to another ftp client (total commander) instade of (winscp) it worked, i guess its has something to do with passive or active mod in the connection. now when i connect from pc i can run ftp root ( / ). thanks alot for helping me out.
i know its not so big thing rooting the shield cuz these days u can allmost do anything by sideloading apps or games but do you guys have any tips what do to with rooted box that cant be done with sideloading?
