    Which ones are they? I select every file in the folder each time and drag and drop. Then utoorent rejects them all.

    Anyway, after this experience I'm never going to use uTorrent again. It's slow, requires downloads from several dodgy sites (some of which tried to breach my browser security), and above all it didn't work.

    Back on LimeWire now, I'm afraid. I know you all hate Limewire, but something that took me half an hour to DL via uTorrent took 2 minutes to DL in LimeWire. And then it WORKED! Wow, was that actually meant to happen or was that pot luck?? Nope, Limewire is just better.

    What exactly are you downloading? Music? And what website are you getting these from? There's a few reliable ones I wouldn't mind recommending, if you'd like.

    I used Pirate Bay and MiniNova. There was nothing wrong with the files, I only DLed from trusted members of Pirate Bay and good commented torrents on MiniNova.

    Are you positive there was a good sharing ratio?

    And like I said earlier, it might be due to where you live.

    Uh...what are the files you're dragging into uTorrent? I have never even had to give anyone a tutorial on torrenting with uTorrent; it's pretty much drag/drop. Just give me the filenames and stuff. Or just extensions.

    There was a good sharing ratio for both. Something like 22 seeds, 5 leechers and 2 seeds, 0 leechers for another.

    I just dragged and dropped the entire folder into uTorrent. When that doesn't work (which is always), I open the folder and drag and drop all of the contents into uTorrent. It proceeds to reject all of the files.

    I'm not going to give file names to stop this slipping into illegal discussion, but they were .FLAC and .mp3 files.
