bittorrent help plz

why wont my bittorrent download? and how can i stop it saying problem connecting to tracker?

It's probably your firewall settings that are blocking the ports that you need use - the best option would be to go to the homepage of the bit torrent programme you are using (azureus/bit tornado etc) and have a look at their forum - I wouldnt want to just suggest disabling your firewall as this could lead to other problems, so worth checking what they say - I use a programme called Burst (very very basic) and have no problem connecting, Ive just set my firewall to allow ports 6889 (for example) to allow uploads/downloads.of sours another problem may be that the Tracker is down - this can frequently happen aswell

menat to say "of Course" and not "of sours"- not for you to think this was some technical term - sorry :-)

It could just be the torrent too, btw.

try downloading the torrent for OpenOffice:

http://www.openoffice.com

If you can happily download the torrent, then its a problem with the other torrent you have. If the open office torrent doesn't work properly either, than as Alun says, it's probably a firewall problem.
