No Seed

[nikkitpt1]

Whats up guys

I just bought a new macbook yesterday and i downloaded bittorrent and i can't seem to get any seeds. torrents with 1000 sends i get none. 

firewall is off

I'm using a vpn (privateinternetaccess)
and dorming at school, so I'm using their internet.

 

bittorrent worked just fine on my old mac under the same conditions, any ideas?

Do torrents from http://slackware.com/getslack/torrents.php work?

nope, the torrent only reads 2 peers but no upload or download speed

Then something in your setup is actively blocking torrenting.

you mean theres something wrong with my setup in yosemite? or the setup or the setup in bittorrent? if so how do i change that. also, in terms of the vpn, does it matter which state/country i use?

 

thanks for the help

It's probably the VPN itself that's blocking.

I've heard reports of PIA not taking kindly to torrenting.

used it all last semester with no problems, just shut it off still not working

Check and see what country your VPN is connecting you to. Some countries no longer allow torrential downloads. I forget which ones (you can Google it, though) but the US doesn't.

This happened to me.
