Torrents work fine on shaw. The problem with with you or your setup.
I'm betting it's you.

Some routers have built-in firewalls so you might want to check the settings. You should also check which port your bittorrent program is running through and make it's correctly port-forwarded to the right IP address of your computer

The dude said he wasn't using a router...

I don't ever use the windows firewall, but if its enabled there is a chance it may be interfering with the torrent working.

Shaw's service area doesn't include Vietnam. There's your problem right there. :D

It's probably Norton... cause when there's connectivity issues, 80% of them are caused by that horrible software.

okay i tested out a few torrent sites and it seems some torrent works and some don't, even tho thier alot of leechers / D/L. the ones that don't work it will just stay red when open in utorrent. the odd thing is when i was with telus i can d/l any torrent and now im just limited to some of them. also i have no firewall and my g/f also have a similar problem, her d/l speed on torrent would be like 10 kb but d/l from anyother source 300+
