    I, for one, actually DL the torrent file to my computer and then open it with uTorrent, as opposed to using the torrent client's Search functions or just clicking on them. Try it and see if it helps.
    I also download them to my computer first.

    It's possible that your provider is only allowing traffic on www ports, or is blocking traffic in a broad swath. Hard to really tell.
    If this is what is happening there's basically nothing I can do then?
