If a BitTorrent file is no longer being shared and has no seeders to match with, then you can't download it. That means that uTorrent is stuck on “connecting to peers” until other users begin to seed the file you've chosen to download again.
P2P stands for Peer-to-Peer. In torrenting, this is the name of the type of technology that allows people to search for and download content in a decentralized way, that is, without relying on a centralized server to provide the files. The unique structure of the network means downloading large files is very efficient.
Allow the BitTorrent Client Through Your Firewall or Antivirus. Sometimes your antivirus software or even Windows Firewall can block you from access the BitTorrent service. To fix the “BitTorrent stuck at connecting to peers” problem, you can try allowing the client through the whitelist of your Firewall or antivirus.
I used to think my understanding of the TCP and UDP protocols, although limited, is correct. Although recently, when I realized that peers sharing a common torrent can connect to one another through a TCP or UDP protocols without the actual need for port forwarding, I got confused. How does a router know which machine in the local network to forward packets to? Any help in clearing that up would be appreciated. The torrent protocol diagrams and articles on the Internet are greatly simplified, and hence do not contain any information that would help.
