As you’ll know that the original Torrent Harvester website (http://TorrentHarvester.awardspace.com) is no longer accessible for many months already. Torrent Harvester engine updates wouldn’t work because the link is pointed to the dead link. When you click on the check for updates, you’ll only get an error message saying “The underlying connection was closed: Unable to connect to remote server.”

Does that mean that in time to come, Torrent Harvester wouldn’t be useful anymore? No, I don’t think so. FidoFuz, the author of Torrent Harvester has contacted me and informed me about the new link.

So here’s how to fix your Torrent Harvester to allow engine updates.


1. Run Torrent Harvester.

2. Go to Help -> Check for Updates from the menu bar. You will see a dialog box like the image below.

3. Change the “Update from website” link from http://TorrentHarvester.awardspace.com to http://www.torrent-harvester.com

4. Click the Check button and it should be able to check for Torrent Harvester engine updates.
