Why Can't I Download Torrents....?

I wnat to start torrent downloading of Season 4 of my favourite show. anway I find the otrrent download the start up file, to my desktop from thepiratepay, the file has lots of good comments and reviews, so I download it and am trying to put it into my torrent downloader. I start up BitComet and it goes to download but it just sits there and does not load. So I try with other torrents, and still I get nothing it will not load anything. So I try a new downloader BitTorrent 6.1.2, its the latest version and the same thign happens it iwll not download, I forced it to start and it went to like 1kb/s and stopped, my average download is like 100 kb/s why won't any torrents download?
