vanmasha Posted April 28, 2008 Report Share Posted April 28, 2008 hi,I am a semi newbie ..... have used utorrent for the last 8 months or so ... with success!! I recently changed computers .. had to reload utorrent. Now i can't seem to get any torrents to download .. my settings are the same ..... i've tested my ports .... good ... it's not a firewall issue .... i am doing exactly what i have done hundreds of times in the past .... what else could the problem be??? I am getting my torrents from the same source ... it says there are 273 seeds/87 leechers .... etc ...... but when i start to load it ... red bar .. no peers .. no seedspls help ..... it's very frustrating Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jewelisheaven Posted April 28, 2008 Report Share Posted April 28, 2008 If it happens on more than one site, recheck your setup. http://utorrent.com/setup_guide.phpIt's possible your ISP also started interfering with your connection. Is there a problem with the tracker(s) not showing connectable at the beginning? What about NO peers for a while? Did OOo start downloading immediately?You should try reducing the settings following procedures in http://forum.utorrent.com/viewtopic.php?id=15992 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GTHK Posted April 28, 2008 Report Share Posted April 28, 2008 If OO torrents work, then the problem is most likely with the torrents/trackers you're using unless, as jewelisheaven says, it's happening with multiple sites. Also torrents must have an availability ≥ 1 in order to complete it. Try finding alternatives on another site. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
