i can't seem to download this or the colbert report. i downloaded the torrents more than two hours
ago and utorrent shows 0(2541)seeds and 0(544) peers, and not a single byte downloaded. i went to
tpb and added their trackers but that has made no difference.
i searched the utorrent forums but can't find any similar problem there, and i know others must be
downloading this torrent normally because it's less than a day old and a very popular show.
slightly similar problem with some 720p episodes of dollhouse (s02e03, e04, e06, e07, e08. they were
downloading very well and then suddenly, it's as if all the seeds vanished.
anyone have ideas? yes, i'm pursuing it on the utorrent forums, but honestly the signal to noise
ratio there seems very low.

blindleader: i think one of three things is going on:
1) your router is broken/overloaded. happens to mine from time to time and it seems to say "stuff
utorrent, no more nat routing for that!" try resetting or plugging directly into your modem to
troubleshoot.
2) your isp is blocking bittorrent. not much you can do about that besides switch isp.
3) you're connecting to some of the spoofing peers that the mpaa and copyright organizations spawn
by the thousands that just send gibberish data out. peer guardian is a great program with lists of
spoofs that it automatically blocks. it just got a new version (now called peer block) that works
well. wwww.peerblock.com
. it's free, and very reccomended - especially if you're p2p'ing in the
states.

thanks for the suggestions, dragoth.
i knew #2 wasn't the issue, and i'm sure i've tried #1 before, but #1 it was. this time i unplugged
the modem for several minutes and now utorrent is sucking up just about all the download bandwidth i
have, and every torrent is coming down just fine.
