torrents not downloading with any client

[rvm]

for the last few days, I can't seem to get azureus to download, I get happy green faces, and I'm connected to 80 out of 805 peers, but I have 0b/s download and upload speed.
I'm using port 49153 which when I test it says OK. but I just don't get any data. I have checked my firewall (mcafee) and azureus is granted full access, so now I don't know what to do.
I have tried downloading the files using bittorrent and bitornado, but I get the same problem; it will see the peers but not download.
If it makes any difference, it doesn't seem to see any seeds. just peers. I get 0(0) seeds, and 79(804) peers!
Anyone have any ideas?

Try looking at the tracker status first and foremost, the far right hand column see what it is says, somtimes you have to be a registered member of a website to connect to a

tracker, especially if you got it off TORRENTSPY or some other public site like that. Try a different tracker from the likes of PIRATE BAY, they

usually have a wider variety of files and bigger number of seeders. Try these 2 things first. Let me know.

Tracker status is OK. and I get the same fault with different torrents. I'll try one from piratre bay as suggested and let you know

Try disabling your firewall and trying again. Also, make sure the XP Firewall is disabled also.

Hmm, yeah try what AUGGIE said then make sure to download PEER GUARDIAN 2.....so u can have some protection

OK, after some more messing I've got it downloading, but it is going so slowly! I'm getting max of 5kb/s at the moment! (I have a 2mb adsl connection) and the file has 8 seeds and 70 peers.
anything I should look at to speed things up a bit?
