At times, uTorrent can take an eternity to initialize a download. How come?
As you can see in the screenshot, there are plenty of seeds in the swarm, but almost 35 minutes have gone by and still nothing. :unsure:
Removed screenshot - read below.

i recommend finding a different tracker then.
hmmmm....is that the problem? The tracker and not uTorrent?
you realize that your tracker passkey is posted in that screenshot?
shutoff utorrent and open it again , if didn't work
remove the torrent and reselect it again and begin downloading
Are you using peerguardian by any chance or is your ip in their blocklist? Most of the time when this happens its a firewall issue. (If you consider PG2 a firewall.)
wtf is a torrent passkey? :huh:Quote:

you need to remove that screenshot and ask a torrentleech admin to reset your passkey before someone abuses it (if they haven't already).
i use pg2 and it has never interfered with my dl's.Quote:

Edit
i have the same problem. i must hit update tracker every time....to connect to all peers :(
