Such files are HOT and are guaranteed to have thousands of seeds and peers. Start your download and check what happens. If peers start dropping like flies it could indicate a problem with your setup. If your download speed starts to increase and eventually average out to anywhere near your maximum DL speed then your setup is fine. Also, uTorrent has a neat little indicator at the bottom of the screen, left of your Download speed that tells you if all is well. What you want to see is a white tick in a green circle. If you see that then all is well with your torrent setup! cyberst0rm's tech blog <a href="http://cyberst0rm.blogspot.com/" rel="nofollow">http://cyberst0rm.blogspot.com</a> @ Joe:

(with utorrent) i mean all of the torrents i'm downloading open at maximum 3 peers for a few minutes and then they disappear could it be because of a router that's blocking me or is it only because of the torrent and it's availability torrents are frequently not finding peers!!
