maybe you're not connectable ? try forwarding your port, this will allow other peers in the swarm to connect to you :)

I am not sure how to check if you have your port forwarded correctly on Azureus, but if you download uTorrent and open it and hit Ctrl+G and then you should see an option to check to see if you have your ports forwarded correctly.

If you discover that you don't have them forwarded correctly then go to the link below and look for your router model and a guide on how to forward the ports correctly in uTorrent and router.

From what I know, a modem itself has no built in firewall/routing capabilities, and thus, does not need port forwarding. It is only when you add a router to the mix that you need to forward ports (on the router.) You also would need to forward the ports if you have a modem that has a built in router.

Is UpnP enabled on your client?

We probably could use the name brand of your router/modem since we don't have that yet and without it we cant tell if its just a modem or combination of both a router and modem.

also check to see if you have any software firewalls that are not properly configured. (windows firewall has a tendency to re-enable itself at random intervals sometimes).

Ok I found a guide on how to forward the ports on your modem.

http://www.portforward.com/english/routers/port_forwarding/Arris/TM502b/Azureus.htm

I know its off by one letter b instead of g but it most likely the same modem so follow that guide.

Also do you have any kind of all in one securtiy software like norton or mcaffee? since those also could be stoping you from connecting to others.

I guess no one looked at his speedtest. Comcast is his ISP. Good luck connecting on any upload.

you should try the site www.portforward.com, it has lots of info on each modem and program and how to portforward each of them.

I have a friend who uploads all the time with comcast on torrents at over 150k. Not sure how but he really does.

@ Chris' question about comcast...
They block their network so it recognizes torrent connections and normally gives you very crappy speeds on outgoing connections if any.
