isuckattheinternet Posted July 3, 2006 Report Share Posted July 3, 2006 I just updated to 1.6 today and now I get the yellow triangle in my status bar telling me that I have no incoming connections. I've tested the port and it comes up that the port does not seem to be open, so I follow the instructions at portforward.com and still nothing (I've tried it twice, as well as picking a new random port, mixed in with a bunch of rebooting). I am using an old ass Norton Internet Security 2002, but I have gone in there anyways and readded utorrent.exe allowing everything that I'm allowed to allow.I don't know if this is helpful, but I can only connect to a couple people (I'm guessing they have the same fucked up settings that I do), but never any seeds. I'll have 0(129) or likewise for seeds all down the list, with a mixture of red and blue arrows.If there is any more info needed to diagnose this problem let me know, it is driving me crazy!

isuckattheinternet Posted July 3, 2006 Author Report Share Posted July 3, 2006 Oh, and I forgot to mention this. I don't know if it's because of the same reason that I can connect to a couple odd people, but my upload has been maxed out at 30kbs the whole day so it seems like outgoing stuff is fine.

DreadWingKnight Posted July 3, 2006 Report Share Posted July 3, 2006 Did you try removing and readding uT to the allow list in NIS 2002?Have you tried uninstalling NIS 2002?Routers provide a large chunk of the protection normally provided by applications like NIS.

isuckattheinternet Posted July 3, 2006 Author Report Share Posted July 3, 2006 I completely uninstalled NIS 2002, rebooted and still the same thing Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DreadWingKnight Posted July 3, 2006 Report Share Posted July 3, 2006 What port are you trying to forward and what port is set in uTorrent's preferences? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
isuckattheinternet Posted July 3, 2006 Author Report Share Posted July 3, 2006 Well I have changed it probably about 3 or 4 times since I upgraded but right now utorrent is set for port 17713 and that's the same port that I entered when I did the port forwarding.

DreadWingKnight Posted July 4, 2006 Report Share Posted July 4, 2006 Do you have multiple computers you can test this with?Have you tried resetting uT's settings (delete %appdata%\settings.dat while uT is off) and starting from scratch? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
isuckattheinternet Posted July 4, 2006 Author Report Share Posted July 4, 2006 Yeah, I have another computer on the same router that I could probably try out if you think that would help. And about resetting the settings, would that mess up any of my downloads or anything? If not then I'll try that out too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DreadWingKnight Posted July 4, 2006 Report Share Posted July 4, 2006 The most resetting your settings would do to your downloads is eliminate all incomplete pieces on them.Trying on another computer will help eliminate potential points of failure as the cause.

isuckattheinternet Posted July 4, 2006 Author Report Share Posted July 4, 2006 Deleting settings.dat didn't fix it. I also get the exact same problem on the other computer when I set it up. I used a different port on that one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DreadWingKnight Posted July 4, 2006 Report Share Posted July 4, 2006 What model router?Are you trying to use UPnP? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
isuckattheinternet Posted July 4, 2006 Author Report Share Posted July 4, 2006 I saw your suggestion in the other thread too, and I turned off Windows firewall and still no luck I'm just cursed to never download torrents again Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
isuckattheinternet Posted July 4, 2006 Author Report Share Posted July 4, 2006 D-Link 704PAnd I have tried it either way, although most of the time the box for "enable UPnP port mapping" has been checked. I turned it off now and restarted the program with no change. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Firon Posted July 11, 2006 Report Share Posted July 11, 2006 Try forwarding your ports again. Don't use UPnP on D-Links. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Switeck Posted July 11, 2006 Report Share Posted July 11, 2006 With D-Link routers you also need to:Disable DHTreduce half-open connections to 8 or lessand reduce connection rate to probably 10. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Firon Posted July 12, 2006 Report Share Posted July 12, 2006 Depends on which D-Link it is. The 704P shouldn't be as bad as the 5xx and 6xx series. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
