I can't download torrents anymore!

I need some answers but I couldn't find any for my problem.  I switched my ISP a few days ago, supposedly for a faster download and upload.  It is fast when I tested for speed but since yesterday my torrents came to a dead stop.  There are plenty of seeders and peers but utorrent just can't get any seeders do download.  I tried another client but the result was the same.  Is the problem with my ISP?  I searched all over the net but I couldn't find any answers.  I am an expat living in Japan.  If anyone can shed some light to my problem it would be great.

Re: I can't download torrents anymore!

Did you get a new router with your new isp?  It's possible that you just need to open a port on your router so utorrent can connect to peers...to do this you typically have to go to your router's network address (192.x.x.x, ie. 192.168.0.1) in a web browser, the default login/password is usually admin/admin or admin/password.  Of course it's also possible I've insulted your intelligence by mentioning this possibility, in which case my apologies.  I also dunno much about internet service in japan, but it's plausible they they monitor/prevent p2p traffic, albeit unlikely unless it's through a school or university or something.

Hi.  Thanks for the reply.  And no, you did not insult my intelligence.  I didn't know about your info.  Could you provide a step by step tutorial?  Thanks.

It's a bit different with each router so I would look at http://portforward.com/ and find directions specific to your device.

I also saw that there are a few other posts in this forum asking the same question. im wondering if there is something wrong with utorrent itself. i downloaded an older version and tried it but still nothing.

Old versions aren't supported anyway

Was thinking maybe a windows update for win7 causing the issue..?
