Torrent stuck on "Connecting to peers 0.0%"

[fanfan00]

I've been trying to download this torrent since yesterday and it stayed on "Connecting to peers 0.0%" without any progress for the whole day. I tried redownloading the torrent, restarting my computer and my wifi router (and also, I don't have any firewall setup) but still nothing worked. Here is the torrent: https://www.gaytor.rent/details.php?id=90a56994ebf39c1d4511f62fe8f645fd9175194a2a54151e

And here are the screenshots:

I suspect that you are using Utorrent 3.6 - which has various problems.
Some builds work, others do not. BUT unlike in previous versions, 3.6.x automatically updates even when you specifically tell it not to, so a working build can be replaced with a non-working build beyond your control.

I stick with the last build of version 3.5.5 which is 46606

I suggest you try qbittorrent on that same file. Qbittorrent is nearly a clone of Utorrent except for a couple of missing features.

@lololulu19 Even with Utorrent 3.5.5 build 46606, I've had to delete the settings.dat file twice and replace it with the settings.dat that RAFI created (and then did a few tweaks of my own such as auto-starting downloads).

@lololulu19 thank you for your suggestion, i will try it with qbittorrent and see what happens

@lololulu19 hi again, qbittorrent did download for a bit but then it "stalled" at 0.8%, is there any way to fix it?

@fanfan00 it could be that your ISP is throttling you. Have you tried a VPN such as NORDVPN? They have free trials.

I sometimes have to use my VPN to download things.
