indeed. i just tried the torrent (from bt-chat & mininova sources) and it's
working fine - tracker responding normally, seeds/peers being connected etc.
it was probably a temporary tracker down/unresponsive issue at the time you
first loaded the torrent. enabling dht & peer exchange would have solved the
problem for you, as mentioned previously.

thank you for your kind response. it is much appreciated when someone actually
nicely answers a simple question.
i am sorry i posted twice. it did not show up initially and the forum will not
allow me to delete the second post.
i was hoping that this forum would be a place where people of all levels could
ask questions and get assistance from other peers. i see that is not necessarily
the case. i am sorry i annoyed so many people with what was really a simple
question.

i also do not have dht & peer exchange on the bit torrent app i use on the mac
(maybe it's there in other apps or on my pc). i did not understand that answer
when it was initially shared.

sbw2: i thought your question was pretty clear. i'm not sure why you got the
responses you did, i think there maybe have been a lot of extreme noob questions
recently like "how do i download these shows?"
anyway i had the same issue a few days ago. turns out my hd was about full, and
after i made some room it worked fine. not sure what your issue is, but it is
not normal, if that is what you wanted to know.

to quote douglas adams
the answer is.......

perhaps the problem is with the original question.
if you are not specific then we can not be specific in our answers.

i don't know, it didn't sound to me like he wanted a diagnosis based on the info
he gave. he just wanted to know if he had a problem, and pretty clearly he did,
and it was almost certainly on his end. and that was all that needed to be

you are getting nothing, something is messed up on your end."
