I'm currently using the Shadow version of the BT client, though I've also tried the official one and am having the same problem.

The file I'm downloading has several hundred seeders according to the tracker, however when I run BT It just sits on the "Connecting to Peers" stage. At best It connects to 2 people.

I've tried uninstall/reinstall, I've shut off my firewall, used a manual announce but nothing seems to work. BT has worked before on my machine.

Any suggestions on what to try?

Thanks in advance,

even if there are alot of seeders i dont think bittorrent will connect you to all of them, just a few. same goes for that shadow version you have. i should know since i use it as well.

The problem I'm experiancing, is that I only get about two peers and no seeds. making for an average dl speed of about nil.

odd, even if you only connect to peers and not seeders you should still be able to get some speed.

It was Galaxy Railways 1-13, which at the time had about a dozen or so seeds.
