tracker error: offline (timed out)

I'VE ALREADY READ THE "INTERNET INTERRUPTIONS AND SPEED ISSUES" POST @ http://forum.utorrent.com/viewtopic.php?id=15992

w/ that being said basically the arrow thingie is red and the status of the tracker reads "offline (timed out). It just happened out of nowhere. The thing is that it does that for one tracker, which is the main tracker i use. Any other trackers does not have that issue. It probably is a tracker issue, but the moderators from the site that is responsible for tracker (that i'm having problems with) confirmed that there is nothing wrong with their tracker and if there was a problem alot of users would've reported (which didn't happened). I was suggested to go to the utorrent forum to find some useful info to help me (as they said with the extent of their knowledge they couldn't help me any further) but nothing helped after looking through the form. so here i am posting as my last resort. I just want to thoroughly confirm whether the problem may be something else before i definitely conclude that it is a tracker issue.

heres my info:

- What I've tried: redownloading the torrent, restarting utorrent (a billion times), restarting the computer (a billion times), restarting my modem, uninstalling utorrent, checking my port fowarding, checking my firewall, disabling DHT, disabling UPnP, lowering the maximum global number of connections, lowering net.max_halfopen to 4, Patched TCPIP.sys and restarted the computer after, connecting my comp directly to modem, disabling any programs running in the background that might've intefered with the connection, correcting my upload speed settings, unstalling my security software to try it out.

- my network status light is green.

- Using Windows XP

- My security software is AVG.

- list of running processes:

- router model: Westell versalink 327W

- modem model: Realtek RTL8139 Family PCI Fast Ethernet NIC

- ISP is Verizon and I'm using DSL

- on an average, after several speed tests i had approximately 2000 kbps for dl and 700 kbps for ul.

- i can't describe my basic computer hardware since somebody i knew else had built it for me years ago using parts from different companies. don't think it's important since my computer is fine (or so i think)

i appreciate the help. thanx.
