    did you buy the router used because it might have a block on the sites you download the movies from and if your connecting from a cable modem is the router set to ppope or dhcp ?

    make model of router and isp please. Router may have ports blocked, try hard reset (e.g. linksys has button for this) or your isp may have started "blocking" some traffic e.g. see comcast news on this site.

    Jackill - it sounds like you simply havent set up port forwarding on your router as most torrent clients require nowadays otherwise you show up as unconnectable.

    Go to Portforward.com and follow the instructions for your specific router.
