Help with Torrents and Wireless Provider

yrrag1974 · 2007-02-01 22:55:30

Hi, Have recently changed service provider and am now using a wireless internet connection. Since I have changed I haven't been able to connect to other torrent users using Bitcomet, Bitlord etc. Connecting Peers and Uploading is fine but downloading not working at all - anyone any ideas what it could be?

Its Calladius Telecom, they recently took over Torque telecom which covers Blessington and surrounding areas. I know that it should work with them cos my brother uses them as well and has no issues using Torrents. My problem is that I can see loads of peers CONNECTING but no peers CONNECTED therefore the download can't start.

I've hooked up my laptop as well, which normally uses torrents fine, and it has the same problem so this says to me it is something to do with the connection.

Anyone any ideas?
