Haven't torrented in over a decade. I've finally managed to find some free time to watch some stuff. (lemm.ee)

Looking for shows I can fall asleep too with my husband.

The little stuff we did watch in the past couple years was through the easy streaming sites. But those are always prone to missing episodes and random glitches so I thought getting back into torrenting would be fun.

Sidenote: if I remember correctly, its quite normal for some torrents to take a couple hours before a seeder turns up, right?

Normal is a relative term. How many did the tracker say there were?

    Most of them had between 5-50 active seeders, the majority around 20.

    I’ll wait and see. I’m in no rush anyways.

    It could be that your torrent program is firewalled, and unable to fully connect to all sharing peers.

    If you're using qBittorrent, to display the Status Bar, go to the menu item View > (check the box for) Status Bar

    The Status Bar should appear a the bottom.

    Just right of center, there should be an icon where if you hover your mouse over it, tells you your Connection Status, i.e. whether you're connected or firewalled.

    Some trackers don't update seeder info on the web page. Another possible reason is you are behing cgnat and most (all) of the peers are behind it as well, so you just can't connect with each other.
