Sometimes torrents can have a slow start, given that updates to the tracker is limited to once every 30 minutes.
One way to get around this limitation in order to get started, is to watch your torrent on this site. At first it will say 1/0 to indicate there is one seeder (you) and 0 leechers. If you see it change to 1/1 on this site then that means someone is trying to download. If they did not connect to you or it still shows as 0, remove the torrent then add it fresh to your torrent client and let it finish scraping.
This may be a way to update the tracker and connect with your peer sooner. Sometimes it can be a way to freshen your connection if you see a number like 5/7 but none of the 7 peers are connecting to you.
