Anyone having any problems with torrents?

As per title, I'm getting nowt
Was using Azureus earlier and getting nothing, so switched ports a couple of times (ISP have been savvy to thrashed up/download in the past) and still nothing.
Using transmission now (on the port it picked) and still nothing.

ISP is Tiscali.
I tried a couple of torrents a few weeks back and had the same thing, (on the same d/load) but figured it was just tracker problems etc.
Damned annoying though.
I'm surprised it's not working at all though, usually they'll just cap the rates to prevent the upload being thrashed.

With Tiscali as well and downloading some software now. It works but speed is low (36 kb/s) even though i'm on up to 8 mb/s.

I'm on an 8mb line as well, which is near as dammit what I get, so there is something odd going on!

I'll have a play with the ports in transmission and see if that makes any difference.
Very strange though...
