You behind a firewall....or are using an ISP that blocks torrent traffic?
Also, it could be a torrent that has no seeds, so it won't download anything since it doesnt have a source. |

| the most common problem with torrents is when people don't open their ports. Go to google and type "opening ports (router company + model)" |

| port forwarding or no seeds could be your issue. what program are you using? i had a similar problem and it turned out the version i was using just didnt work for me even though i had all my ports set etc. when i went to an older version it worked. *shrug* |

| What they've all said already. You need to log into your router and open ports. The default ports are 6881-6889 I believe which is fine for most public trackers. For private trackers you normally use ports other than the default. Try a torrent with a lot of seeds like a TV show or something that just came out last night. |

ya, i think the default ports for torrent are now blocked by ISPs.
Look for a website that has all the ports default uses. Look for one that that has no uses.
I believe my other computer uses 4081 |

Packet Sniffers are coming to an ISP near you...
My ISP recently installed them. Bittorrent average went from 100k to 1k overnight.
Now its up to 20k ( I suspect they are trying to figure out what the minimum to give people is without them leaving the ISP ) |

i got sbc , and my rates are various . sometimes in the 100s , and sometimes in the teens . rarely if it drops under 10, only if i don't have any seeders ... but my 2 cents is that you don't have any seeders . try some random torrents to see if it works ?
oh yeah, and ta does not support p2p .. :rolleyes: |
