Stuck at "downloading metadata"

[ANG8 0]

Hello,

Suddenly magnet links will not download on my mac (sierra). Every time I download it is stuck at 0% and status it says "downloading metadata." Some people have said to restart utorrent (tried and failed), to use a windows machine (tried and failed), to use hotspot shield (tried and failed), to use transmission (tried and failed) and to remove old dht and dat files (tried and of course failed). I'm hearing of a lot of people and some of my friends having this problem, but no troubleshooting solutions seem to be working. Any ideas?

Thanks

With it happening on multiple devices, it's most likely a problem with your internet connection.
