Utorrent not connecting to seeds or peers

hey guys

Ive had utorrent for a while and everything was working perfectly fine , Except for last night when I realised that my torrnet speed is stuck at 0.0kb/s all my torrents are connected to the trackers but I wasnt connected to any Seeds Or Peers , I tried a lot of different torrents hoping one of them would work but non did , I tried to think what I recently changed but I didnt change anything at all , except I did some spyware adaware scans and deleted them . Any idea what could be causing this ? Im not connected to even one peer or one seed and I have 3 torrents running .
Thanks in advance

I have the same problem, except I'm in America. It connects to a torrents peers sometimes, but most of the time it wont connect to anything. Why is that?

Im guessing it really could be the earthquake that caused this  yup and it connected with one peer or 2 peers today .

I'm new to uTorrent and I got it yesterday, but last night I downloaded one torrent, but nothing else would connect. Maybe my settings aren't right?

I used to use BitComet before it screwed up and I opened all the torrents that hadn't finished from the BitComet torrent folder. Would that have any effect?

Re: Utorrent not connecting to seeds or peers

Nopes opening the same torrents from the Bitcomet folder shouldnt cause any problems , as far as I know
But maybe your settings arent right
make sure you port forward and limit your upload speed
BTW Ive noticed that utorrent and bitcomet are very conflicting when used on the same computer
on my current laptop Utorrent works best , bitcomet dosent even connect on it , on the other hand my other computer dosent run utorrent correctly even when I have the settings done .
Look around on the forum and the speeds section you should find some good guides
wat went wrong with ur bitcomet ?

Re: Utorrent not connecting to seeds or peers

It works fine, but every time I close the program the torrent list disappears. So I have to open my torrents every time I open BitComet. It gets pretty annoying.

Edit
I just opened uTorrent again and one torrent has connected, but it's download speed it pretty low. Less than one Kb with over 100 seeders. Somethings wrong there.

I'm going to go through the speed guide in uTorrent to see if it fixes the problem.

Edit #2
Found my problem. The port thats supposed to connect me to my peers isn't open. Finding a new port now. :]

Re: Utorrent not connecting to seeds or peers

All downloaded and downloadings have stopped. The message is 'CAN'T CONNECT'.My computer was turned off with the plug...Could this be the reason? What should I do?
THANKS!
