utorrent "finding peers".problem

[khaepmu]

When I download a torrent, my utorrent no longer finds peers. Had this problem once before but don't quite remember how I was able to fix it. 

 

 Presently on utorrent 3.6 (build  46590) [3- bit].

I sometimes get this problem.

If the download is not finding peers after a reasonable time (5 minutes), and there are a reasonable number of them, I shut down uTorrent (file - exit), wait a couple of minutes and then restart it. After starting it quickly finds peers and starts the download(s).

This may work for you.

You can only find peers if there are some .. did you go back to the website and check the seeders, what is your client (utorrent) saying? Are there any seeder? 
 

Maybe worth checking and downloading qbittorrent, which is a better client imho.

This seems to have worked. Thanks.
