I just downloaded utorrent and have attempted to download a few things since but it never seems to start downloading. The downloading graph peaks and then drops back down to zero. I have tried with the encryption box checked and unchecked, could my internet provider be blocking sites like this? Any suggestions? Thanks in advance.

"blocking sites like this"

Actually, it's not the websites they're likely blocking but rather the BitTorrent Protocol...or even blocking the downloading of the .torrent files themselves.

And yes, by the sound of it, your ISP could be blocking the BitTorrent Protocol in some manner.

Yes, change ISPs if it's an option.

Use expensive VPNs (special proxies) if it's not.

Try µTorrent's encryption options...though they're probably already enabled.

Do web searches for workarounds others have discovered for your ISP.
