The peers that will send you data are the ones that aren't choking you (check the 'Choked by the peer' column for entries with no '*' in them) and to which Vuze has one or more outstanding requests (check the 'Out Reqs' column) - the 'Download Speed' column shows how quickly the peer is sending you data.

If everyone is stuck at the same availability and not downloading, and there appear to be a lot of seeds that are not sending anyone any data, then the download is likely bad. If you see lots of peers with an availability that is the same as your availability then it means that the swarm is somewhat choked, perhaps due to a superseed. OK, there appear to be lots of seeds, why am I not connected to any of them?Ī good way to get a feel for the swarm is to go to the peers view - this shows you details of all the peers you are connected to in the swarm and you can use it to see if other peers are successfully downloading while you are not.

Here's also some information on what is a good torrent and a bad torrent. Look to see if there are any error status messages against trackers. If you continue to be connected to 0 peers/seeds check the tracker status to see if the tracker is behaving - right-click on the download, select 'show details' and then click on the 'Sources' tab to show the status of the various peer sources. Poor availability isn't necessarily terminal, there may be people out there with the files in the swarm who you will eventually connect to - be patient especially at the start of a download. Take a look at the overview of ' availability' - an availability of 0.0 means that nobody *you are connected to yet* in the swarm has any of the download's files available, for example. OK, so it really is downloading, next up to check is that the download has sufficient availability for you to download. Torrent not downloading? Download seems to be stuck and making no progress? The first thing to check is that the download is actually running and not waiting in the queue to start.
