Why russian trackers won't work for me?

[shayx]

just got registered at Rutracker and Pornolab.
both Russia trackers.

i try to download something, the trackers says connected in Vuze and also in uTorrent
but i get no seeds and no download at all.

anyone encountered this issue? are they blocking connections for some countries?

They aren't "blocking connections" to any countries. Check if there are actually people on the torrents you want to download, and make sure you aren't using an aggressive ipfilter that may be blocking others.

In that case, he wouldn't have this problem on Russian trackers only...
