Hey all. Now I've been using Utorrent for a couple of years and have had no trouble but all of a sudden nothing that I try to download will download! It only occasionally downloads (like maybe 10 times a month) and I can't find any pattern suggesting what makes it download. I'm currently trying to download Star Wars Galactic Battlegrounds (ya it brings me back to when I was 5) and it's been at 87.4% for a week now. It took a week or so to get to 16% then and then jumped the 87.4% in only one night and since then nothing.

Please any help would be much appreciated.
And it not just this game, nothing else downloads either

either what the other guy said or it is because you isp has blocked incoming connetions, preventing you from downloading torrents.

A couple of things could be the problem and i don't know how much you know about torrents so ill go into it anyway.

- Try checking your connection. I don't know what kind of connection you have so if its a wireless connection make sure the signals good and if its an ethernet connection make sure the cables arepluggedd in all the way, a lot of times a loose cable is the culprit. Go to your network connection and check the status in the right click menu, make sure the packages are sent andreceivedd in adecentt amount.

- I don't use Utorrent so don't know if it has this option but in Bitlord there is a manual connect button that rechecks seeders and leeches and connects to them.

- Another thing you want toconsiderr is that there is no were to download it from. When seeders aren't online some leeches that have more downloaded that you become temp. seeders and thats the main reason things are downloaded so quickly, leechers supplement the seeding till a real seeder is back online.... or no one has that particular torrent to download anymore, you can try download another torrent for it, just make sure it is different because just having a different name doesn't neccessarily make it a different torrent and it will have the same amount of seeders/leches.

In the end you could always just reinstall Utorrent, the files should still be there
I hope it helps.

Check the seeders on the torrent. Also when downloading a torrent, choose the one with the most seeders.

maybe because there isn't a lot of seeders?

Thats normal but remeber, just like any other P2P client. Utorrent is illegal. I had to learn this the hard way, Trust me, you dont know what its like until you get caught.
