Over 1000 seeds yet I can't download from any of them, please help

[92]

Hi guys, I've used Utorrent many times before and its worked perfectly, but I seem to have encountered a problem recently

Every torrent I try, no matter how many seeds/peers there are, it can't seem to download faster than 0.2kbs

One file in particular I setup and was going at a nice 50kbs, but I noticed that it wasn't download from any seeds, only from peers. I left it going for a few hours while I went out, expecting it to be finished by the time I got back - but it was stuck at 95.4%

I saw someone mentioned "poisoned torrents" where you can't download from any seeds, and eventually there are no peers left to download the missing pieces from - however this problem seems to be occuring for all torrents I try - even ones I download before the problem struck

I have recently received an upgrade in my modem software along with its own built-in firewall (Norton...) but I've set Utorrent to "Permit All" so this cannot be causing the problem

Thank you in advance for your time and help

Try one of the torrents there. How does it run? Are you getting a green network status light in the status bar?
