Hmm?
Any clue what it could be?
I can download from other Torrent sites no problem and Dime worked until 2 days ago but now I cannot connect to any peers via dime.
I tried 2 different computers and I get the same problem. Both computers are using the same internet connection at home.

Maybe try updating your bittorrent client to the latest version. From time to time this happens to me, seemingly only affects 1 or 2 trackers.

After I complete the upgrade (I use uTorrent), torrents start connecting again.

I tried Vuse - that's what initially didn't work
I downloaded uTorrent - it didn't work
Other computer has uTorrent - didn't work.
Funny that it is your torrent I was trying to download when it stopped working.

Both computers have different virus protection and firewall protection.

Maybe try resetting your modem. If you have a dynamic IP (most users would) and it gets reset, it may help rebooting both the modem and computer.

Edit...if it's both computers, try rebooting the modem, although that wouldn't explain why other torrents work and Dime's don't :?

Never mind.
I am dumb.
I grabbed 5 new Hip shows last week - and it was awhile since they were out - so after I grabbed them - even though I shared for days - no one grabbed it from me.
I can't download due to my ratio.
I guess I should not have waited so long to grab the latest Hip shows.

I'm grabbing just about every Hip show posted and ten uploading them to Hipfans.com/shows. Grab them from my site without worrying about torrents, ratios, etc.
