The following items are the most overlooked things people post about when having troubles
-Do you have the proper ports forwarded on your computer? This includes Router Firewall (Click HERE for help forwarding your router firewall.), Software Firewall, and SP2 Firewall?
-Are you using a port in the 50000-60000? (See Above for help forwarding ports)
-Do you have Encryption turned on in your client? (See THIS article for the how-to on many different torrent clients)
-Is your ISP throttling P2P traffic? - Is your ISPs name on THIS list?
-Do you have a STATIC IP
-Are you using the newest(non-beta) version of the client?
-Are you using a popular client like utorrent, Bit Comet, or Azureus? *I am not saying they are better the others, they are just the most popular ones and easer to diagnostic problems with*
Answering all these questions, 99% of the time will solve your problems.
Im open to any suggestions you may have, If you have anything you think I should add, eaither send me a PM or just post in the thread!
