Say I use Azureus for my torrents. I see in Azureus that a certain torrent has 6 seeds, but I'm not connected to any of them. I don't think there is anything wrong with my connections (all ports forwarded, firewall unblocks bittorrent, etc.) so my thinking for why this could be would be this:
People can limit the number of people connected to them. If someone is seeding, you might not be able to connect to them because they are already at the maximum number of connections. You'll have to keep azureus open and wait until someone connected to one of the seeds finishes, and frees up a connection.
Is this a valid reason, and are there other reasons?
