Page 1 of Bit torrent problem - "connecting to peers"

Ok this is driving me nuts now. Last week an engineer had to come out and reconnect my phone line as the dumb bastard cut it whilst trimming the ivy on the front of his house! The internet is working fine now but whenever I try to download a bit torrent I get a green light and it doesn`t get any further than "connecting to peers". I am using Bit Tornado and using a Netgear DG834GT router. I`m using a static IP address and have opened up the necessary ports on my PC. Also I`ve switched the Windows firewall off but still no joy. It seems as if something is blocking it but I can`t figure out what... Any suggestions??

I`ve got a weird problem. This only happens on certain torrents.. It connects to the torrent for about 20 secs then goes red and drops off. If I hit the "update Tracker" button in Azureus it reconnects to the torrent.. for about 20 secs.. and so on... any ideas? My nat is ok and port s are open and other torrents work fine.

Not getting past "Connecting to Peers" happened to me on Azureus, so I switched to uTorrent about a year ago: no problems since.

I`ve just changed client to Utorrent and the downloads are working, Wonder whats up with Bit Tornado.. :¦

went onto utorrent yonks ago, it absolutely rocks. Small, inconspicuous, informative. What more can you ask for?
