I am a newbie to bittorent. Using a client called Bitcomet. So far able to download.
Maybe if you are using windows XP ( SP2 ), u must disable your personal firewall.

Or if you are behind a firewall/router/access point, u must open the bittorent port.

best you read all the faqs online. Tons of them available. Very hard to trouble shoot from here. Using SP2 firewall shouldnt be a problem if you get the settings right. Only so far Zone Alarm not too compatible

Bittorrent tips:
1. IMPORTANT! Set your port to other than 6881-6889 (anywhere from 41952 - 65535, not the whole range). Some ISPs are blocking/throttling these ports (and other p2p ports). It may be the cause of your slow downloads!
2. Always maintain at least a 1:1 ul/dl ratio, especially at the sites where you have to register. It's good for you (e.g. you can get priority downloads @ torrentbits) and it's good for the community.
3. Brian's BitTorrent FAQ & Guide - For further reading including explanation to error messages.
4. Torrentspy - Check torrent seeds/peers & other info without starting a download. Doesn't work with all trackers.
5. DO NOT USE ZONE ALARM 5.0!
6. PortForward.com - How to set up your router/firewall properly; huge list (I'm sure you'll find your router there).

Cheers! B)

For best BT experience, do the following:

1. Open TCP ports 6881 to 6889 on your PC or router.

To disable WinXP SP2 firewall, go to Security Center and select Off. However, u can set the firewall to allow certain ports such as above.

2. Cap your outgoing bandwidth to 3kB/sec or 6kB/sec, this will prevent BT client from hogging all your available bandwidth.

I capped mine at 3kB/sec and can download up to max 40kB/sec *using standard 384k Streamyx at home. It may take a little longer to download but my home PC is online 24x7.
