uTorrent for android stuck at 0%

[justmindy]

I'm on a Samsung Galaxy Prevail. I'm connected to wifi that doesn't block torrenting as I use my laptop here all the time. In the app here are the current settings:

Download = unlimited

Upload = unlimited

Incoming TCP port = 6882

On the actual torrent it says 0.0% completed 0 b/s ETA unknown.

There are 302 seeders and 219 leechers on the torrent.

Any tips tricks or ideas?

peers not 'leechers' the bittorrent client can not tell who downloaded then did not seed it after completion, which is what a 'leecher' is.

Is the port forwarded on the router to the IP your Galaxy is given?

I meant on the pirate bay page how many seeders and leechers it show.

The port is the one the app put in. How do I know what it should be?

[ciaobaby]

Piratebay's trackers have been shut down for almost THREE YEARS so relying on that number to be correct probably isn't the best thing to be doing.

the port can be found on Preferences -> Connection in Windows, The Android client may be the same but as I've never used it I am merely speculating.

OK I probably sound dumb. I apologize. So can I just see what port my laptop uses and use that on most likely?

[ciaobaby]

The port your laptop uses will different to your tablet, as will the IPs, and a listening (incoming) port can only be forwarded to one IP.

Setting your router to give fixed IPs to your laptop and tablet may be necessary if UPnP isn't working between client and router.

I'm having the same issue. However I'm just straight connected from nexus 4 to the carrier.
