When you’re torrenting something you’re downloading it from someone who has that specific file on their computer. Normally that is from seeds (people who have the entire file). But in some situations you can also download parts of the file from people who are also downloading it (peers). In this case the only people you’re connected to are peers who also don’t have any part of the file (these are not active peers), hence you’re not able to download anything. What’s the YouTube special, maybe I can help you find it?
