I can't seem to figure this one out.
About 2 weeks ago, torrents stopped working on my MBP running Lion.
It's not my ISP as the PC at home works fine as well as torrents on the office work fine.

I've trashed the application (utorrent) and reinstalled it.

Firewall is not enabled and Little Snitch is not on the box.

Can't seem to figure out what is wrong. Nothing changed on my MBP....it just stopped working one day.
 
It has to be something directly related to your setup.
I use Transmission on Lion and have no problems.

Make sure your PC and Mac are not using the same TCP or UDP Port on uTorrent.

Also, did you setup your router to use your PC as the DMZ host? If yes, turn it off, or much easier, swap IP addresses between your Mac and PC and test again.
 
I use Transmission and it stopped working 3 days ago. Nothing changed on my MacBook. Only Transmission stopped working. Downloaded uTorrent and it works fine. Weird.
 
Transmission worked for me on Friday and it's working now. Weird that it just stopped working for some.
 
I use utorrent and it always works. Although I'm not sure what the actual problem is here. Not working doesn't tell me enough to help.

In my case, Transmission will open the torrent file but never connect to upload and download.
 
Note. It was working on the very same notebook with Lion with no issues. Just stopped working about 2 weeks ago.


It's as if it won't connect to any trackers.

However, again, it's not the network that is causing it......
Can't seem to figure out what on my MBP would be causing it.
Checked all prefs. under utorrent, even though I did not change anything.
Everything looks as if it should be behaving.....
 
Haven't experienced any issues on my macs running lion. As you trying to get files from the same sources? Try something like this see if it loads
 
that works...
everything else if from the bay.

Note: the bay via utorrent on my pc works in the same exact locations. Odd eh ?
