You have to check whether the ports are forwarded. Click the little icon at the bottom, and check whether it is forwarded (there's a button to check this). Also, make an exception in your firewall about that specific program and that specific port for it (or for all ports).
Don't know your exact config so can't tell you more precisely what to set.

If you're running a firewall (you'd better) you might want to make sure that the firewall let's your torrent client connect to the internet.

happened to me when going from cable to adsl. you need to forward the ports on your router, for which normally the settings are on a webpage you enter into a browser (check the manual)

Behind a router?

*forward necessary tcp ports OR enable UPnP if applicable(on router/gateway).

When using UPnP, u don't need to forward the ports, everything is (*technically *seems* in fact...) open above TCP 1024.

when not using UPnP, u should forward 'em, cuz everything above 1024 is closed

if you set the client to use a port under TCP 1024, u should also forward(independent of the UPNP setting on yer gatew)

(also don't forget to add a rule in your local firewall. (allow-TCP -forw.port)

Or easier: browse for the client executable and add it to your fw exception list)

...also ensure TCP port 2869 and UDP port 1900 on your local firewall are allowed.

Should fix it. (for non-working UPnP)
