uTorrent won’t start downloading if the tracker lacks seeders (uploaders). Additionally, your ISP or WiFi network might block P2P traffic, preventing downloads. A P2P-friendly VPN with advanced encryption can help you torrent safely anywhere, even on restricted WiFi hotspots. Ensuring your network allows P2P connections and checking for active seeders can resolve download issues. Here are the most common reasons for a torrent not to start downlaoding: You’re not connected to the internet. The torrent file is corrupt. The tracker is offline. Your firewall is blocking the connection. Your ISP is throttling uTorent traffic.
