Lately, some torrents refuse to download even a single byte, even though utorrent says I'm connected to hundreds of peers on that particular file.

The strange thing is that other torrents download just fine. So it's not a problem that blocks all my downloads, but some just won't work, even after several days.

Anybody else run into this and find a solution? I'm using utorrent 3.2.3.

Do they have any seeds? There could be hundreds of persons connected to it and nobody has any part of it at all.

If there are, I'd try with a pre-v3 version of utorrent. I've heard that some private tracker block v3+ and it has become pretty terrible anyway.

Yes there are seeds, and some of the peers I'm connected to are at 97%, so I should at least get something, but I'm stuck at 0 bytes.

I guess I'll go hunt for an older version of utorrent.
