Torrents wont download

[itsromanorc]

I have no idea whats going on but lately i cannot download any torrents, its stuck on '' downloading meta data and connecting to peers''... most of the torrents has a high number of seeds too.

I also tried with and without a VPN.

I've tried Utorrent, Bittorrent and Qbittorent and yeah i've uninstalled and reinstalled many times out of frustration but still nothing. :/

Try it with a legit torrent such as Ubuntu

https://www.ubuntu.com/download/alternative-downloads

(Scroll down to Torrents)

It's just a link for the Ubuntu Installer. Scroll down to "BitTorrent" and click on any link, it will download a .torrent file. Open it in BitTorrent and see if the download starts.

use a .torrent file instead of magnet link
it will work

Is there some minimum seed amount? if a torrent has like 1 or 0 seeds... can it still work?

i'm just curious, although even torrents with 1000 seeds dont download for me :/

Do you have an active firewall/antivirus software? It would seem something is blocking the transfer of p2p data.

try using vuze (client)
and . torrent file

Do you still have problem with this? I found out that my OS did not let me download magnet links before for unknown reason. I swapped to a different OS and it worked. I really dont enjoy working with Windows, especially W10. Such a spyware if you ask me.

in uTorrent
right click on torrent, goto advance and select clear peer list, then restart uTorrent and force re-check your torrent.
it might help
