U torrent stopped downloading

For some reason as of today utorrent is no longer downloading files to the utorrent directory. I have selected new torrent files that appear in my "temp" folder as is normal. I double click the file and the utorrent client opens up and then nothing. Normally, the file would start downloading.

I am getting no error messages, and nothing happens other than the fact that the utorrent client opens. All of my other files are seeding correctly, but nothing happens when I try to add any new torrent files. Utorrent appears to be working normally, all of my Windows updates are installed, and nothing else appears wrong with my computer.

I even tried disabling my firewall and still nothing. I have uninstalled the utorrent client and have restarted my computer. Sounds like ISP throttle? Have you tried to download another file like Open Office torrent to see what happens? If you try that and it still doesn't work there good chances your ISP throttle your torrent activities.

And if your other Browser usage works fine and nothing slows down that is also tells of ISP throttles only torrent activities not browsing activities. The problem I found out is, for some strange reason, Norton has blocked this site.

And Hey Presto it will now work. That is if they use Norton but they don't mention it and til they tell us I would get rid of Norton bloat I don't use Norton. I had subsequently disabled the firewall and still had the same issues. However, I also found out that I could manually add torrents. Maybe there are just some mysteries in life that were not meant to be understood. If all of these fail to solve your problem, then the problem might be your torrent file — dead torrent no Seeds.
