Thanks for your quick reply greywizard. I am trying to download Openoffice 3.1.1 and Linux CentOS 5.5 right now. Openoffice didn't have many seeds(50 something), and the Linux had like 20,000 something listed. The Linux is downloading(for now) all with LT seeds. I have also experimented with very current, popular a.v.i.'s(Thor, Fast & Furious, etc.) which normally have oodles of peers/seeds. The few that will actually fully download are all by LT seeds only. Under the summary tab it always shows 0 of 0 connected for seeds/peers. If this helps, I predominantly use Torrentz for everything and usually BTjunkie or Torrentdownloads.net for the torrents to download. I admit to being somewhat ignorant of computer knowledge - have only owned one since january(I know..LOL). I find it weird that the motel would not allow seeds/peers through a firewall, but would allow LT seeds. I don't know if this was the right thing to try, but I've also uninstalled/redownloaded BC a few times, and have even restored windows to an earlier point. Anything else you could reccomend? Thanks again...and by the way...you guys/gals are great!!
