neonerd Posted August 29, 2006 Report Share Posted August 29, 2006 everything has been working fine for months now until i rebooted yesterday and ever since utorrent just says updating for the tracker status, no matter what changes i make it doesnt affect anything, any help would be appreciated, also i tried other clients and they worked fine, it seems to be only utorrent doing this, i've tried changing the settings, reinstalling, etc, etc, but still nothingi've included a screenshot Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ultima Posted August 29, 2006 Report Share Posted August 29, 2006 Repatch TCPIP.sys. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
neonerd Posted August 29, 2006 Author Report Share Posted August 29, 2006 every other torrent program i use works perfectly, why would the tcpip.sys need to be repatched, especially since all i did for utorrent to stop working was reboot, never changed anything until after it f*cked up :/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DreadWingKnight Posted August 29, 2006 Report Share Posted August 29, 2006 Windows automatic updates apply after a reboot.What is the net.max_halfopen advanced setting set to? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
neonerd Posted August 31, 2006 Author Report Share Posted August 31, 2006 net.max_halfopen *474some1 told me to use utorrent 1.5 and it will work then after a little bit switch back to 1.6, i did this and it worked like a charm Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Firon Posted August 31, 2006 Report Share Posted August 31, 2006 The reason it stopped working is because you set that to a high value like an idiot. You CANNOT CHANGE IT FROM THE DEFAULT WITHOUT PATCHING TCPIP.SYS! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
neonerd Posted September 2, 2006 Author Report Share Posted September 2, 2006 Firon: well arent you a bundle of wonderfulness... dumbass, learn to read, i said in my original post i didnt change anything until after it stopped working and also fyfi i ALREADY patched tcpip.sys long before anything happening, utorrent 1.6 stopped working for no reason, then i used 1.5 for a few days without problem and now im uing 1.6 again with no problems, i didnt make any changes like RE-patching the tcpip.sys or any of the advanced settings, i simply changed from 1.6 to 1.5 then back to 1.6 and everything is lovely Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Firon Posted September 2, 2006 Report Share Posted September 2, 2006 Do you have a personal firewall by any chance? If so, is it Zone Alarm, Norton or Kaspersky? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Switeck Posted September 6, 2006 Report Share Posted September 6, 2006 Microsoft likes to UN-patch TCPIP.sys at almost every patching attempt they get. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SpasV Posted December 5, 2006 Report Share Posted December 5, 2006 The OS is Windows XP PRO SP2. I have the same problem - uTorrent 1.6 enters "updating ..." the tracker and nothing more happens. I thought it happend after having installed third party applications and rebooting the system. Now I have to use Azureus 2.5.I could not understand how to resolve the problem. And more specifically what does "Repatch TCPIP.sys" mean?Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ultima Posted December 5, 2006 Report Share Posted December 5, 2006 Check the first link in my signature for ideas on how to fix that. And do tell us what firewall you're using. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SpasV Posted December 5, 2006 Report Share Posted December 5, 2006 (The problem is: having started a torrent file, uTorrent enters "updating..." status and nothing changes.)I will continue working on the problem but what I have already done was:1) installed the latest TCPIP.sys2) installed uTorrent 1.5.1 build 466 - the same behaviour as uTorrent 1.63) decreased almost every parameter values (connections, speed, halfOpen ...)The results are: (the behavior did not changed)Speed Test Result - 5000 / 1788 (Kbps)Checking port 22425 on 71.162.114.58... - OK! Port 22425 is open and accepting connections. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DreadWingKnight Posted December 5, 2006 Report Share Posted December 5, 2006 net.max_halfopen should NOT be increased from the default 8.Any performance gains from actually setting higher are minimal in the first 5 minutes of a torrent's going active, and nonexistent after 5 minutes.

SpasV Posted December 5, 2006 Report Share Posted December 5, 2006 While in status "updating..." I did a connection check:Attempting connect to: 71.162.114.58 port 22425Pass![MERGE]I tried net.max_halfopen:4, 100 - the same result - not working![MERGE]It is obvious: uTorrent waits in status "updating..." for an event it does not see after, maybe, my having installed some "third party applications". They were Real Player 10, FireFox, and Win32OpenSSL-v0.9.6m.I have removed them, but even after that the new uTorrent (1.6, 1.5) instalation does not work![MERGE]Ultima: "And do tell us what firewall you're using." I use the Windows XP SP2 Firewall. But as it is seen from the results I have already posted the two independable port forwarding checks have passed.[sOLUTION] [MERGE]uTorrent 1.6 is now working!What I have done was:First, uTorrent has already assigned automatically port on the router and it worked fine even in this everlasting status "updaiting…"I assigned the values uTorrent has already used for the parameter net.outgoing_port and my internal static IP address to net.bind_ip, net.outgoing_ip.I this situation the router reported the (uTorrent) port been used by another service.So, I reset (in uTorrent) all these parameters to the default values (empty and net.outgoing_port=0).Then I corrected the port assignment in the router.Finally uTorrent is working now.Obviously, uTorrent needed a forced reassignment of the port and/or (I can not say) IP addresses.Ultima: Holy smokes Batman, that was a super quintuple-post.
