Vuze FAQ

Why are most of my torrents queued and not downloading?

On Windows:

Go to Tools > Options > Queue > Max simultaneous downloads and Max active torrents.

On Mac OSX:

Vuze > Preferences > Queue > Max simultaneous downloads and Max active torrents.

These numbers determine how many torrents run simultaneously. Do NOT change them before reading Good settings! Otherwise, you may see your download speed DETERIORATE. Make sure you are downloading good torrents, too.

The Max simultaneous downloads is the maximum number of torrents downloading at any moment. The Max active torrents is the maximum number of torrents you download or seed at the same time.

Note: If you are downloading torrents from a third-party site, it's possible that the tracker is overloaded with requests and the client does not receive a response back from the tracker in the required amount of time. From the Advanced screen, try going to the details page of the torrent and see if the trackers are online. Click the tracker URL, your browser should open up and should pull up a page. Also try downloading content from Vuze and see if you would experience the same issue.
