    Having problem with download files saying 'connecting to peers' and then nothing. Anyone else have this problem? Is the anyway of getting rid of 'connecting to peers' so whatever you're downloading starts downloading straight away?

    Yes they do. it just keeps going straight to connecting to peers and nothing. By the way if I download a torrent that I want with no seeds, how do I seed myself?

    No when it comes to torrents, no. I don't understand on how to seed or anything. Some are downloading, some are not

    Not every file on torrents are live. So no source or seeds which means you cannot download it.
