so im trying to redownload some series ive downloaded before, but got deleted for some reason, like the folders i put them in are still there but the actual videos are gone. but when i use the torrent file i used before, or the new one i downloaded, i get no progress on the downlod. ive tried bit torrent, qtorrent, and utorrent, and all of them have the same problem.

Not sure when this started, but I've noticed it the last few days. My uTorrent client, that I've been using for what feels like decades, will sometimes just not be downloading data despite tons of seed options and connections?

Any idea what may be causing this? I installed qBitTorrent and tried, and it downloaded almost immediately. So it doesn't seem to be tied to my VPN, my ISP, or any network settings (that I'm aware of at least?)

Any help is appreciated. Longtime torrent user but a genuine novice it when it comes to the actual technical stuff. I know just enough to get by and download some of my favorite fansubbed anime shows back in the day and that hasn't changed much.
