You should know that some VPNs have this site's tracker blocked from certain countries so you won't be able to seed/leech while connected to that specific server's location. The problem can be easily fixed by switching to a different server, usually outside of the US. Try finding something close to your location so that your download/upload speed isn't compromised much.
In utorrent, the tracker's status should say "working" if everything's working smoothly.

Hi, I'm hoping you can help me with several questions I have:

When I download a DVD torrent, it's made of multiple files such as VOB, BUP, IFO, etc.
How do I join all these files into a single DVD file?
How can also convert one of these VOB files into another file format such as AVI?

If I want to create a smaller video file from a scene of a larger movie, what would be the best program to do so?

What would be the best program to use if I want to create a single video file consisting of a compilation of several scenes or video files?
This could also be used to join multiple video files into a single one.

What's the best program to convert video files from one format to another (i.e. mp4 to avi, etc)?

Thanks if you're able to help.
