Wacko Posted January 13, 2008 Report Share Posted January 13, 2008 Hiya,Couple things to check first.1/ How many seeds and peers are there for the file?If you have more peers than seeds, your d/l will be slow as more people are d/l than there is u/l. Also, if your seeds are greater than peers, it could be the speed that the seeders can u/l at.2/ Generally if the arrow changes from blue to red it can mean 2 things. (a) you have lost your internet connection, either restart it or restart your PC ( the tracker for the torrent could be down. you will have to wait for it to come back online if this is the case.3/ port forwarding could also be a problem. At the bottom of uTorrent in the middle, you will see an icon next to your d/l speed etc. Is this green, orange or red? If it is orange or red, click it and a box pops up and you can then check if your port is forwarde properly. There is a button there you can press which will take you to a website where you can check. Follow the links if it isn't and you will get a tutorial on forwarding.Hope some of this helps.I am relatively new to this aswell so if I have made a mistake please correct me :-) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
