I'm at my mum's and I had a couple of torrents I wanted to finish getting - but they all of a sudden won't start. Nothing happens when I press the START option... I even re-downloaded one of them and now it's just stuck on PAUSE. Any suggestions about why this happened? I know they have upgraded their package, since they have a router now, instead of a modem -- don't know if that's had any effect -- help would be great, because I'm at 93% on one of them and it's fucking frustrating.

two options : 1) seeder stopped seeding-check ( if its possible is theres any seed, if no, its lost )
2) new net connection blocked somehow torrent downloading, its possible since its quite ciomplicated with all of these hashes, peers, seeds and yada yada yada
3) change client and try to put the file there, see what happens
4) see whats going on with tracker - check the site youre downloading from for any FAQ info /news / forums
oh, thas 4options, not 2. well, better for you :)

I redownloaded one of them to make sure it was still being seeded, and it is, so that's not the problem.. it's not even checking when I press START.

Redirect your BitLord port on the router to your computer, if you haven't done it yet. Don't choose one from the common 6881-6889 range (don't trust me on these bounds). I often chose something like 20000.

It's OK, I've sorted it - my stepfather is VERY petty and morose - the log-in name I use has no Admin access at all - seems to feel that me or my brother will download either virus-infected software or something fuck things up. Apparently this rubbed off on Bitlord and affected it. I used the F5 / safe mode trick to get Admin control and now it's working fine.
My brother and I have always noticed how funny it is that the computer only ever fucks up when the Stepfather does things to it, yet we always got the blame.
