Default Weird Torrent Problem

So I when I try to download new fifth gear mininova says that there are no seeds or peers, but when I come back half an hour later its got 250 - 450 seeds and peers, it also happens with other torrents, so I am wondering if it's a problem with the torrent or a problem with my computer.

It takes a while for your computer to connect properly.

From right below all the download links on this site:

Please note that the seed and peer counts are cached, so if it's new torrent and the counts are low, don't worry, they're most likely much higher.
Mininova only updates the seed/peer counts every couple hours. When I originally upload the torrent, there is usually only the 1 seeder and no peers yet. By the time you get on the torrent though, that number has significantly risen.

It doesn't have to do anything with Finalgear/non finalgear.

Mininova shows how many seeds/peers but it is only refreshed every couple of hours, as stated by Viper007bond.

Mininova is a torrent hoster, not a tracker or anything, therefore the seed/peer counts aren't live. They only scrape (talk to) the trackers every couple hours or whatever.
