Thread: uTorrent ups and downs

Sorry this is too big, but anyway this is where your computer and modem are linked with static ip.

Hope it helps

what an awful ballsache.

I have pushed for portforward.com in the past and I swear by them.
You don't need any prior knowledge, only the ability to follow instructions.
Almost every modem manufactured is there together with a huge list of applications.

There are pictures for each step so how can one fail?

I think it was the DNS server addresses that I got wrong. ^ What are yours and would mine be the same? (TOT ADSL, Chiang Mai, something like a 1536/512 or a 2048/512 connection).

Don't use your ISP's DNS server Benners, they are ferkin slow or wrong at times.

OpenDNS :
208.67.220.220
208.67.222.222

fukking great thread this.

funny to watch all you lot ignoring the bloody obvious for the painfully complex.

change your client.

not particularly snooty.

simply find it all amusing.

this thread should properly earn a sticky spot.

you might just find all your sploof comes from the fact that uPnP is on by default in your router

my head hurts.

Now uTorrent is telling me that my port is forwarded properly. The thing is, I haven't changed any settings yet.

Should I just leave things alone, or is it still worth trying for a static IP and everything?

Oh, yes, before I forget, Noony. uTorrent's ICP/TCP Protocols are far superior to Azureus's, and in terms of its NET input/output, HTTP/FTP capabilities and DNS handling it leaves your program slumped in the gutter being sick on its lap.

Now it says my port is not open, and I've got the yellow triangle not the green tick. WTF, I think I'll try this port forwarding thing one more time.

Have you clicked or unclicked the "allow Exceptions" thing in the Firewall?

My utorrent's dling as fast as it was before downgrading, so not about to fix what's already working fine.

Btw, my 'Enable UPnP' is checked...shouldn't it be?

If forwarded properly I'd leave it as is, but refresh the browser because sometimes it can show green but go to red after a couple of refreshes...if it stays green just give it a minute or two to get warmed up, and assuming your torrents are well seeded.

The experts may explain how you're green without a static IP, but then again they may decide to toy with us a while longer...good hearts beneath the crap exterior.

yers, yers, you tell 'im, i bet he's already downloading 1.8.1 on the sly.

It should be checked.
The port forwarding will then be automatic under the condition that your modem/router also has uPnP enabled and the modem/routers uPnP implementation is compatible with the uPnP implementation in torrent program you are using.

As I mentioned a few posts up, I find that Azureus has the best uPnP compability.

Good. Does that mean you'll be off the Changs again?

OK that didn't work. Got as far as configuring the router, but every IP address I tried gave me an error:

Error: Fail to update due to duplicate port number.
