when the icon is black is mean is old and abrandon..when is blue mean no seed to complete, when is it red meaning is can't got a tracker. I don't think there anyway to fix this, is pretty normally. Unless the icon is yellow mean u have a firewall, once u got rid of it is should work just fine. I don't know about XeroGlock thread, this thing never happen to me before but try to save the torrent link by right-click it and click on save target as...then u can open that folder and dl it, try to do that and seem if is help.
