Do you have UPnP enabled, both in Utorrent and on your router? Or have you opened a port for utorrent?

I have no idea, could you please talk me through it? And do you any reason why I'd suddenly be having these problems? Because it used to work just fine, no settings have been changed, router and laptop is exactly the same.

Hmm...since you say that, it doesn't look like it's something that can be fixed by changing the port. Did you install an antivirus program recently or reenable a firewall or something? You can try opening a port though, you can find the instructions for it on this site:  http://portforward.com/  . Just look for your router and then pick utorrent and follow the instructions.

Edit: Also, does this just happen with one torrent or all torrents you've tried recently?

No, the laptop I'm downloading it on has no antivirus program running and Utorrent is let through windows firewall. I've tried that site before, doesn't have my router listed :/ (WANADOO-A9E4)

Has happened with all the torrents I've tried recently.
