Utorrent not receiving incoming connections.
Suddenly a week ago all my downloading torrents seized and I have not been able to download anything. A little orange triangle on the bottom right comes on and off randomly regardless of any changes I make.The set-up guide comes up negative every time. The availablity is red even though I have tried lots of different healthy torrents. The only thing I have been able to download is http://openoffice.student.utwente.nl/to … xe.torrent
I have spent a week riffling through the forums and help section to fix this problem. I have made my IP static and made a firewall rule. I have tried everything. Eventually I saw that there was a new version of uTorrent (I had 2.2). So I tried clicking the "Check for update" under help. I only get a "Unable to connect uTorrent update server". I found a link in a forum for the new version and installed it. Its downloading sometimes now. But at ridiculously low speeds. 0.5 kb/s most of the time. I used to get 80 kb/s and I could download a song in less than 2 minutes, now it wants to take a week. I am at the end of my rope and I am considering un-installing and reinstalling but I really don't want to. Can anyone please advise me on what to do?

Re: Utorrent not receiving incoming connections.
I made a special port exception for uTorrent with Norton already. Norton was not interfering at all before and there were no changes made until after uTorrent started failing. Disabling my firewall for a while didn't improve anything.

Ok well I followed the instructions here

I did a speed test http://www.speedtest.net/index.php
And then put my results into the http://infinite-source.de/az/az-calc.html
And then entered them into my preferences.

That still doesn't tell me what your settings are.
Also, the azureus calculator does not give good settings.

Re: Utorrent not receiving incoming connections.
Ok thank you. In my forums searches I didn't see this before. I will find everything you need. But for now, when I run the setup guide I get the error under the bandwidth area. The reason they give is "Connection failed Error: A request to send or receive data was disallowed because the socket is" The sentence just ends. I get this every time. The port is open.
