Hmmm, not you, but a couple of other leechers. The funny thing is, on Metfuk almost all seeds are done, only here on Metpage they stuck.

Am I the only one here having problems connecting to you?

All the torrents are downloading but I don't seem to be connected to you, I'm connected to another leecher though.

Probably a blocked port issue. A peer or seed with no listening port can exchange data with a peer or seed with an open listening port. But if both you have a blocked listening port, you can't exchange data. Then you have to wait for other peer(s) with a valid listening port to be a "relay" between you and the seeder.

I think that's the problem that I can download when there's a relay.

Can the problem be fixed when I get my port open? Because my program (BitTorren 7.6) says that my port's not open.

Yes, once you open the necessary port on your router this problem will be resolved. Your download speeds will be faster as well.

I'm trying to do that but I didn't succeed so far

Mike told me about that site yesterday and I'm using their programs to open a port but I can't get it done.

You should try to manually open the port.

Choose your router (hope you'll see it in the list), skip the advertisement, choose your BT client, follow the instructions

I tried that yesterday and that didn't go well.
