I've just switched to plusnet from sky and for some reason bit torrents will not start downloading. I've also tried vuze incase it was a problem with bit torrent but that didn't work either. Has anyone else had this problem with plusnet and if so do you know what I can do to fix it?
Thanks

Also, when you moved to Plusnet did you retain the Sky router or use a different one. If a different one is the firewall blocking things

I use Transmission, but other clients e.g. Vuze work O.K.

Plusnet are not and never have been file sharing friendly.
If you want to share files around these days then the only real viable option at the moment is a PAYG mobile broadband dongle that isn't registered and the purchased as a voucher using cash (so you don't need to register a card and your details). That really is the only way to remain annonymous online now.

Depends on your router, though AFAIK.
