Does anybody else with NAT-PMP and UPnP unchecked get this in their log "[2013-11-30 05:53:19] UPnP: Device error "http://192.168.1.250:2869/upnphost/udhisapi.dll?content=uuid:dc576848-ff91-4824-8959-1941c79b9d40": (-2) [2013-11-30 05:53:19] UPnP: Device error "http://192.168.1.250:2869/upnphost/udhisapi.dll?content=uuid:6ab31de8-2082-4639-943e-4d6b2d3e2cd6": (-2)" version 3.4.0.30331 off to see if I can get some of that 345 action

I am one of the users Rafi is talking about, I modified my port selection as Qwest (west coast isp for dsl-dialup, part of the baby bell's "us west") has been and will continue to block bit torrent. So after a lot of trial and error I started using microsofts DNS port range or lower for my torrent traffic and my speeds improved (protocol encryption enabled of course) as I see it blocking DNS could lead to a very big lawsuit for Qwest. and so far it has been working for me for the last 3 years. my Idea would be to just block port 80 (the webserver port) as its the webservers getting hit with a ddos attack thats the worry. as I see it the developers are using a huge brush to paint over a tiny hole (and cover over the fact that its the DHT protocol that is the problem and needs to be reworked as pointed to by Ultima in post #186 "work around exploits" http://torrentfreak.com/bottorrent-using-bittorrent-as-a-ddos-tool-101229/ , Quote "Astro says that since it's a design error, the [DHT] protocol has to be redefined eventually" this will still cause problems for those who need to use port 80 as their isp only wants them to surf the web

my last launched stat in utorrent 2.03.20664 is 8-5-2010 in windows 7 x64 Pro. so I am upgrading to the newest 2.04 today so I will let you know also (2.03 seemed to slow down about 3 weeks ago with single torrents not being able to reach their full potential and utorrent starting more than one to acheive my download bandwith goals) but it could be my ISP throttling as I have had the same IP for that whole time http://i810.photobucket.com/albums/zz29/chevyluvin/utorrent/UTorrent20320664statson9-20-2010.png for only 418 times started that is a pretty good run time total (I think this is from when I started using utorrent back in the 1.5~1.6 days)

deleted (was not a utorrent caused problem) my hats off to the developers and crew as the newer versions are so much quicker at rechecking in windows 2000. I haven't been this happy since going from 1.5 ver's to 1.6.1 (upnp in win 2000)
