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?

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

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.
