Bittorent wont download properly

[Guest David]

whenever i download a torrent it does show up in bittorent, but the estimated time is infinity, and it doesnt download a single byte of information.

im also getting the message "possibly insufficient sources" even tho it has many seeders

ive tried uninstalling and reinstalling it, that didnt help.

ive tried turning off my firewall, and that didnt work either

i also made sure that its allowed thru the firewall, and its also allowed thru ports 6881-6999.

plz help me ever since megaupload went down idk where to get my music! :'(

thanks in advance

This doesn't help if bittorrent isn't configured to use any of those ports (which it isn't by default anymore, configure your firewall to allow the port in BitTorrent's preferences. Don't change the port to one in that range).

What firewall are you actually using?

I'm having this problem too. I updated to the new version a little over a week ago and downloaded two torrents just fine. Then yesterday the download bars changed from green to a dark red color, the ETA is infinity and 0 seeds/peers are showing up. Nothing is downloading.
