pskim Posted February 19, 2012 Report Share Posted February 19, 2012 I need some answers but I couldn't find any for my problem. I switched my ISP a few days ago, supposedly for a faster download and upload. It is fast when I tested for speed but since yesterday my torrents came to a dead stop. There are plenty of seeders and peers but utorrent just can't get any seeders do download. I tried another client but the result was the same. Is the problem with my ISP? I searched all over the net but I couldn't find any answers. I am an expat living in Japan. If anyone can shed some light to my problem it would be great.

notapirate Posted February 19, 2012 Report Share Posted February 19, 2012 Did you get a new router with your new isp? It's possible that you just need to open a port on your router so utorrent can connect to peers...to do this you typically have to go to your router's network address (192.x.x.x, ie. 192.168.0.1) in a web browser, the default login/password is usually admin/admin or admin/password. Of course it's also possible I've insulted your intelligence by mentioning this possibility, in which case my apologies. I also dunno much about internet service in japan, but it's plausible they they monitor/prevent p2p traffic, albeit unlikely unless it's through a school or university or something.

pskim Posted February 19, 2012 Author Report Share Posted February 19, 2012 Hi. Thanks for the reply. And no, you did not insult my intelligence. I didn't know about your info. Could you provide a step by step tutorial? Thanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
notapirate Posted February 19, 2012 Report Share Posted February 19, 2012 It's a bit different with each router so I would look at http://portforward.com/ and find directions specific to your device. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

evanrobinson1985 Posted February 19, 2012 Report Share Posted February 19, 2012 I also saw that there are a few other posts in this forum asking the same question. im wondering if there is something wrong with utorrent itself. i downloaded an older version and tried it but still nothing.

evanrobinson1985 Posted February 19, 2012 Report Share Posted February 19, 2012 Was thinking maybe a windows update for win7 causing the issue..? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
