    Have you disabled windows firewall?
    Have you disabled any anti viruses that could be blocking the download?
    Can you post your PC specs, and your connection speed? Then we can answer your question :)

    NAT problems

    You wont be able to connect simple - Depends on the connection usually

    Downloads really slow ... but also depends on the ports

    I hope its nothing illegal ;)

    ^

    NAT problem
    Firewall
    Windows Firewall

    In short, connection problems. Also, sometimes, the torrent might be old and abandoned so it stays red. But I think it's a connection problem as well.

    in utorrent, u HAVE to forward your port...whether you have a router or a firewall, forward your port, click on the red light...check port..it will tell you its NOT forrwarded...after taht, it will have a link to portforward.com ..pretty simple after that, choose your router and follow the instructions...
