If you want to download something then you most probably open your browser and then you’ll open your favorite engines like GOOGLE, BING, YAHOO, and then start searching, right?
Sometimes, we find what we actually looking for, and sometimes we don’t.
Some people use third-party torrent clients like uTorrent, BitTorrent, Vuze, etc.
These third-party clients help people to download the main file no matter the size of the file.
If you’re also using a BitTorrent client and want to download something but you are stuck with your torrent client then you’re in the right place.
If you’re using uTorrent as your torrent client and want to download something but it is stuck with an error stating “connecting to peers” nothing else happens.
If this is the case then you’re in the right place.
Make sure to stay with me and read this article and you’ll learn how to fix this error.
I’ll explain all the possible steps that you can take in order to resolve the issue.
I don’t need to explain about the uTorrent the most popular BitTorrent client.
In order to download the application in your system you just need to go to their official website and then you need to click on the CLASSIC download button.
When you’ll do so, it’ll download the file to your laptop or PC.
Make sure to install the file and you’re ready to torrent around the web.

Dragon City – Everything You Need To Know
Here are the steps you need to take:
If you want to resolve the issue of stopping downloading in your uTorrent software then make sure to read this article and follow the below steps.
Maybe your issue will be resolved.
But before that, you need to understand how uTorrent and other BitTorrents work.
When you’ll try to download something via BitTorrent clients then you’ll see on your dashboard called SEEDERS.
These are people like us who upload the file.
Suppose, you want to download the game GTA5. Then you first need to download the torrent file from the web or with any torrent search engine.
Once you get the file or magnet link, now, you need to upload the file on your BitTorrent client.
Now, you can start downloading the file.
Now, the thing is that the file you’re downloading is uploaded by many PCs or what we call seeders like u you, and me.
The more you’ve seeders the better you’ll get the speed. In case, you have fewer seeders then you’ll get a slow speed.
Now, if your speed is stuck and you’re not getting more peers that means there are fewer seeders as compared to peers.
If this is the case then make sure to follow the below steps and maybe your issue will be solved.
1. Make sure to check the number of trackers you have.
If you want more trackers then you can update the list from the given below list, and it may start downloading the content.

4. If the issue is not solved then you can do one more thing.
Leave uTorrent as it is. Maybe after some time, it’ll start getting enough seeders, and downloading will start.
5. Make sure to ask your ISP. Maybe the issue will be from their end.
You can use a proxy network or a VPN. It not only increases your downloading speed but also helps you to solve the issue.
