or am I screwed? I know stupid question... However I don't understand the difference between the 0 and the (5)...

Thank you!
Ok so when I do so it should automatically connect to a new seed or do I need to do something else?

0(5) under the seeds column means there are 5 seeds active on the torrent and you are connected to 0.

So there are seeds available to complete the download. Why you are not connecting to one is the issue.

have you cleared your network connection? Firewalls and routers will block communications unless an exception is made.
