hhmm, weird...try, deleting the torrent file from your client.
Close the client and reboot your computer.
"redownload" the torrent file here and see what happens.

If that doesnt work, i dont know what else it could be.

Did this get resolved because I see people getting the show now.

(What client are you using? And what version?)

[bennyhanna]

nope it isn't resolved... i'm using bit torrent0.3.17

for a second i'lll see up to 3 peers upload for a sec then gone... my torrent window displays red and no activity...


dunno :hmm:

Did you forward the port your client shows on your router?
it seems it's closed, check it out, no idea how to do it with your client, as I run UTorrent.
If you're on Windows I'd recommend UTorrent.

Whoops, I didn't notice it wasn't resolved since I saw you seeding.

Your port looks to be fine. Are you just getting really slow speeds? Have you tried restarting your router (I had to do that about two weeks ago when I suddenly became firewalled and no matter what I did, I couldn't get unfirewalled). Could your ISP be suddenly throttling peer-to-peer traffic?

Are you on Canada?
If you are, your ISP might be throttling Bittorrent traffic.
Turn encryption back on. Helps to mask the bittorrent traffic.
