If there are only a handful of peers in the swarm, it is possible none of them can respond to you. So, from one moment to the next, maybe you successfully queried a tracker you couldn't query before.
Maybe a new peer became available that wasn't available before. Maybe a peer that couldn't respond before could respond when some conditions changed.
Maybe something on your network changed that was previously preventing you from talking to one or more peers. Getting connected to one peer opens the door to using PEX, which can help find more peers, which in turn can help find more peers. To best ensure you can reach the maximum number of peers out there, make sure there is nothing blocking you from making outgoing UDP connections. Make sure that whatever port your client is listening on can accept incoming TCP and UDP connections from outside your network.
Make sure your client is configured not to saturate your connection. Everything else is pretty much outside of your control. With smaller swarms, it often comes down to patiently waiting for that one peer to save the day. May 26, , pm Moe Wrote: There are a whole lot of reasons. I didn't know most of this or appreciate how complicated it was. It usually works "effortlessly" - at least on my part - so it was frustrating not to have it work and especially not to have any idea WHY it wasn't working with no clue as to when it might work again.
Maybe someday there will be a version of the client that actually tells you what's going on and gives you suggestions about what you can do to make things start working again for each specific situation that can occur.
In the meantime, I'm just glad it sorted itself out eventually. Thanks again!

Jun 28, Slow torrent speed. Well I turned on my torrents yesterday and low and behold a miracle happened. Everything worked as it should. I was so excited. Then a few hours later everything went red. I did nothing to settings nor did I move them.
All I did was exit utorrent then when I could restarted utorrent. I got two of them seeding again but now they are back to being red. Again I did nothing to them but exited then returned later on.

You are not torrenting, the service is. You merely download the finished file just like any other file. A drawback is most free services are quite limited unless you pay for a subscription. The file limit is 2GB which is both the overall storage capacity and the maximum size of a single torrent download. This can be increased to 6GB by accomplishing tasks such as inviting friends, tweeting a review or pinning a Seedr image on your Pinterest.
Seedr accepts local torrent files, magnet links or a URL of a remote torrent file. You can only transfer one torrent at a time to the Seedr servers but can download multiple completed torrents at once. We found the download speed satisfactory and our files downloaded at a good rate. Another service currently with a 2GB file limit and unlimited bandwidth is Transfercloud. There are other services available like Filestream, Bitport, and ZBigZ but they have low file size limits or slow download speeds.
They work but we believe they are too limited to be of any great use. Visit Seedr.
