Torrent downloader cant find any peers

Many users will prefer to use a virtual private network VPN to bypass ISP restrictions or to maintain their anonymity while downloading or sharing BitTorrent files.

Check with your VPN provider and, if it does offer BitTorrent-friendly servers, make sure to connect to these when using uTorrent to download or share your files. If uTorrent is not connecting to peers, it might be worth looking at alternative BitTorrent clients to see if the problem is with the software and not with the file.

To lower the risks, you should consider scanning for malware on your Windows PC on a regular basis. Ben Stockton is a freelance technology writer based in the United Kingdom.
