Changing client worked for me. uTorrent web seems to be working fine. Pitty. I really liked bittorrent.

Downgrading to 4.2.3 didn't help.
Ran a test downloading a 64kb file (one photo from a torrent) and still same thing.

I guess I'll try downgrading to 3.x and if that doesn't work maybe another client all together…

Experiencing the same thing here in qBittorrent (4.3.0.1) in win10.
Thought it was the torrents themselves but seems everything I'm trying to download is hanging at 0%.

• If I go "resume", status changes to stalled.

• Then when I go "Force resume" status says "[F] downloading" but still at 0% done and never changing.

I think this happened when I updated qBittorrent so I might downgrade but if that doesn't work I don't know what to do.

@bearbearbear:

Yes, promoted, it has the recycle symbol and if you check the torrent page you'll see the original upload date.  You don't need to download the torrent file again if you are seeding as the old one still works.

Thanks Bear.bearbear That was a helpful reply.
That listing is being sorted by upload date so it's weird to me that not only should an old file appear first in the list but that the file information would show something that a reasonable person would assume to be the upload date when in fact it's something else.
imo users should have to click into a file to determine its actual upload date and and upload date sort should actually sort by upload date; promoted file or not.
I will offer this as feedback to the site devs.

These pictures show a torrent that has information indicating it was uploaded in the last 17 hours (i.e. on 18 Aug 2020).

However I can see that I downloaded it (by the green) and my torrent manager indicates I did so 11 days ago?
