Can only connect to 1 seed

[jcw1407]

When downloading, I only ever connect to one seed at most - even though there may be hundreds of seeds, in fact most of the time it doesn't connect to any seeds. I have no problem connecting to peers and I get respectable download speeds - the real problem is abvailability is low and I can sometimes take days to get a torrent. I also have no problem seeding.

I have checked all my connection settings, when I test the link it reports the port is open, I ahve tried different combinations of encryption, all to no avail.

I am using uTorrent 2.2.1 (build 25130) on Windows 7 Ultimate 64 bit

My router is a DLink DSL-2730B

Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks

Not much you can do with low availability and not being able to connect to the few seeds that are present on the torrent.

The torrent I am downloading now has 60 seeds - but I only ever connect to 1 - the majority of the time it connects to none. When I'm connected to a seed availability shoots up to numbers above 3, it's at 0.25 when I'm connecting to the peers. What prevents me from connecting to seeds?

Could be your router

Could be your internet security software

Could be your internet provider
