uTorrent availability graph is red, and I have 24,000 seeders.?
So I just downloaded uTorrent so I could Torrent some movies off of ThePirateBay.Org and I select the movie 2012 which has around 24,000 seeders, and 15,000 leechers. So I wait for it to load and everything, after 3 minutes, the availability graph is fully red.. I try other movies and all the other movies have the red graph also. Please help me out!

Don't forget that when it comes to Torrents you have to take into account the tracking servers and available seeders. There might be 24,000 total seeders, but if they're all inside of a private tracker or multiple private trackers and you don't have an account with the tracker(s) then you won't have access to the torrent.
Open uTorrent and check out the trackers tab on the Torrent file you're downloading. You should be able to see if the trackers are up, down, private, or what have you. Also.. Don't forget that if you're seeing 24,000 trackers on TBP's website .. it's all a cache at this point due to their own tracker being taken down because of legal reasons so the available seeders quite possibly could simply be a cached copy from the Torrent stats from 5 months ago.

ThePirateBay's tracker has been taken down but their DHT is still available. Try a different torrent site such as isohunt.com
