New Router/Provider, Trouble with downloading. Red Arrows. ZERO S/P's

[need2kno]

Im in the UK.

I recently changed Providers to BT.

I have tried downloading countless things including things that i KNOW have seeders.

the problem i am having is that the Arrow is Red (upside Down) next to each torrent and in BOTH Seeds and Peers it says ZERO.

What do I do?i have uTorrent 2.2.1

Trackers tab.

Tracker status.

i'm sorry but i don't understand.

i uninstalled and then re installed utorrent (beta). so the red arrows are gone.

so my problem is now what i asked in my other topic.

both torrents i'm downloading are at speeds 0.7 kb/s or less. without going into details, i know these torrents usually take me 15-20 mins. (i download weekly episodes 350mb each)

at the moment... one is at 26% and the other 7%. the health bars are all green. It has been nearly 2 and a half hours.

Both Peers & Seeds are between 15000-25000 each torrent

there are between 15-25 peers and 60-80 seeders each torrent

trackers status on both say DOWNLOADING.

without meaning to sound rude i am new to all this. yes i have been using utorrent for a long time but i have hardly ever made changes to it.

i have never used this forum before either.

i would have deleted this topic if i knew how and left the other one (which you seem to have moved into the trash).

The trackers tab with a torrent highlighted.

Tracker status column

[need2kno]

trackers status on both say DOWNLOADING.

[DreadWingKnight]

No they don't.

The tracker status column NEVER says that.

[need2kno]

OOOKKK.....

is this it??

tracker.publicbt.com

that is on one of the torrents and on the other it's empty.

OOOHHHH....

No connection could be made because the target machine actively refused it.

[DreadWingKnight]

The status column from that, yes.

[need2kno]

No connection could be made because the target machine actively refused it.

so what next?

http://distribution.openoffice.org/p2p/ <-- have you tested with torrents from here yet?

at the risk of getting you even more annoyed... what are you talking about???

i clicked on the link... chose the options.. clicked on "Information on the OpenOffice.org P2P Project"... some torrent has opened up and is downloading (or lack of).. its 16mb and has been downloading for 8 minutes. 5 out of 5 seeders are seeding. apparently the ETA is between 4 days and 3 weeks! download is still 0.0%.

what is this?

[DreadWingKnight]

It's one of our control torrents we use for testing.

Windows 3.3.0 with JRE, english (en-US) is the one that works the best for download speed testing.
