    Torrents never work.


    In programs like Utorrent or BitTorrent they just say connecting to peers and downloads never start. My friend got it to work and said he can't remember what he did. He said he remembered having to "Activate" some things in settings but has no idea what. Anybody can help me with this?!

    You have to make sure there are seeders for the file you want the lower the number of seeders the less likely it is to download the file . if there is enough seeders and you know that's not the problem you may have to allow utorrent threw the firewall, 7forums has a tutorial on that subject
    follow the tut but look for Utorrent

    It doesn't matter which torrent I try. None work! And it IS allowed through firewall! Read above to what my friend did.

    I don't know what activate means for utorrent. That's all I could think of, The only other thing was the seeders are you sure there are lots of seeders

    Edit: I have been using Utorent for years and the only thing I had to do after installation was to click allow progam threw firewall after installation

    As I said, it was happening to my friend too, but he fixed it by the way I told you. It's something with my PC's settings itself.

    Well that's as far as my knowledge will take me maybe someone else can help
    PS: I added another site to check if your internet provider is blocking it
    Edit: Windows 7 and 8 "add program to firewall rules" look pretty much the same,
