Some days ago I realized that most of my torrents (mostly related to
the openbittorrent tracker but also including another ones (The arch
iso torrent works, though) ) fail to download. The information about
how many seeders/leechers are is displayed, but the count of how much
seeders I'm connected to remains 0 and no download happens.
I cannot understand how you would expect a useful answer without giving
us at the very least the name of your torrent client and of your ISP...

Oh, sorry.

Torrent clients I've tried: Deluge and aria2c
ISPs: ONO (spanish) and the university's ISP seems to be the
university itself, Universidad Politecnica de Valencia
I've a similar issue like you with Deluge. A post that describes what I 
see in my /var/log:

TCP: Possible SYN flooding on port 53126. Dropping request|

A workaround in this case it's disabling SYN flood protection in the 
kernel, adding to /etc/sysctl.conf
    net.ipv4.tcp_syncookies=0

but it's not a real solution.
