number of users

[Tahivuze]

hello everybody,

Since I installed the last vuze version (5.5.0.0 on Yosemite), the number of users decreased to 1 ! (I used to have 1 million before..)
I don't understand a lot about preferences, but I'm ready to try if somebody could explain the way to do.
This happened to me once I added new templates (as to have maybe more users…)

Thank you if you could give me any (easy) advice.

The number of users is derived from the DHT (distributed database) size - if you have UDP networking issues that are blocking Vuze from sending/receiving UDP packets then you end up with an empty DHT. This only impacts decentralized operations, torrents with 'normal' trackers will continue to download.

Please excuse the inexperience.   I do not know what UDP or DHT mean.   What is strange, is that it shows my downloading time as infinate.  Nothing happening.. however.. if I look in the VUSE download file... I actually see the file... but it is not able to play.. I am unsure if I have canceled it prematurely, however it never shows anything actually downloading.
