Perhaps a dumb question, but I did try to search for an answer:

I have a torrent that I have been trying to download for quite a while (weeks). It is large, and I have HUGE bandwidth so that is not the problem.

What I don't understand is when I look at the column for seeds it says 0 (3).

If I understand things correctly, that means there are 3 seeds out there, but I can't connect to them.

Why can't I connect to a seed?

My seeding ratio for this torrent is quite high 8.899, and I am not limiting my bandwidth.

I am using uTorrent 3.0 25406 (current I believe).

I am using Kaspersky IS 2011, and have excluded the program and the directory it downloads to.

Other torrents download nice and fast, so it is not a general problem, but I sure would like to speed up this particular download.

I would appreciate some insight as I never quite got how there can be 3 seeds shown but not connectable.

Thanks

Because they don't want to share with you or they are not connectable.

Does uTorrent allow you to block certain users from sharing? And why do they show up if they are not connectable?

The point of my question was to try to understand how this functions.
