This question is not specifically about downloading top gear (although please seed 1x04!) but a movie I'm dowloading.

It's saying Seeds: 0 (1 in swarm) and Peers: 1 connected (4 in swarm).
Is there a reason that it wouldn't connect to these other peers? Is there anything I can do to speed it up? (5 kbps right now).

thanks in advance

You could try expanding the connectivity by selecting all of the networks for the torrent. Right Click > Advanced > Networks > then select all of the networks ... (<- I think that's correct).

I have two copies of 01x04...one is a crappy Jabba rip, the other is the full "unscathed" episode, except that the aspect ratio is incorrect. Nonetheless, I imagine you want the latter images/smilies/wink.gif

Check out 95's FTP, that's where I got my good (er, better) copy of 01x04. If you can't get it from there, I may be able to host it on a little server I have setup at home. Let me know.

There's a good copy (corrected aspect ratio) on demonoid, but it doesn't have any peers (well it says there are 3, but I'm not connected to any of them. Same problem as the movie.

some port forwarding or isp related issue maybe... Try turning of the firewall for short while, or use another client... I recommend utorrent...

I'd recommend trying Bittornado for this one torrent. It's easy and clear and you will see straight away if you have a problem with port forwarding. Bittornado is a one-torrent-at-a-time client.

I use Utorrent for general use but Bittornado for one offs.

I've been seeding this episode all night but have only uploaded 90meg. Currently have no peers or seeds...

Utorrent tells you if your port forwardings okay and has a link to test it and sort it out.
