Liquid5n0w Posted July 4, 2006 Report Share Posted July 4, 2006 I've upgrade to 1.6 the day it came out. For the last little while I've been trying to get uTorrent to work, so I tried narrowing down the problem.I can download the same torrent from the same tracker with Azureus.I can connect peers with with DHT, which seems to be working the same as it always does.But I have about 5 torrents on my list, some have up to 5 trackers in them, and they all are stuck on the status 'working' after 30minutes of uTorrent running. One of the torrents on the list I managed to download in 20 minutes with Azureus.Is there a way to reinstall version 1.5 so I can download torrents like I did before?

DreadWingKnight Posted July 4, 2006 Report Share Posted July 4, 2006 http://forum.utorrent.com/viewtopic.php?id=11601Double-check your firewall rules (to the point of removing them and re-creating them) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Liquid5n0w Posted July 4, 2006 Author Report Share Posted July 4, 2006 I have, but the firewall only effects incoming connections not you connecting to a tracker.Only an idiot firewall completely blocks connections of a program, which I not have.Also azureus is working fine, it's not a firewall problem. I have no firewall software on my computer, only my router. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DreadWingKnight Posted July 4, 2006 Report Share Posted July 4, 2006 Software firewalls can affect outbound connections.Windows XP has a built in firewall you need to check as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Croniz Posted July 4, 2006 Report Share Posted July 4, 2006 I turned of the UPnP portmapping and my upload started working, still got that warning triangle though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Liquid5n0w Posted July 5, 2006 Author Report Share Posted July 5, 2006 I already had uPnP disabled Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
odddlaw Posted July 5, 2006 Report Share Posted July 5, 2006 Similar problem. However, it isn't a firewall/port/router problem (at least that's what I suspect) since I had 1.5 working just fine before. Also, I can't modify any of those settings since I'm not a sysadmin... but as I said, I also couldn't do that before, and it was working....Now nothing I have tried resetting (deleting settings.dat) but that didn't helped....any clue?

MaxP2P Posted July 5, 2006 Report Share Posted July 5, 2006 Same problem here. (Or atleast VERY similar)I started downloading my Bleach episode as I do every week. (But now using 1.6).It has like 10k+ Seends and 10k+ Peers.But it's just stuck at Downloading (Working). The download speed is like 0.1 ~ 0.4 kb/s. The triangle constantly switches between yellow, then red, then green. (Mostly stuck at yellow though)And after I desided to let the torrent run for an hour, the triangle disappeared, after restart of uTorrent, it starts all over again.I did the port check thing, and it says everything is ok.I have no software firewall on. (Besides the windows XP, but I need it in order to make something work. But still, everything run fine with 1.5...)I really like the new features in 1.6, so I would hate to be "forced" to roll back to 1.5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Liquid5n0w Posted July 11, 2006 Author Report Share Posted July 11, 2006 Anyone have any idea's?Is there a way to get v1.5 back? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Switeck Posted July 11, 2006 Report Share Posted July 11, 2006 A sudden drop in download/upload speed usually means half-open connections max has been set back to 10 by a Windows Update. Or the latest virus/trojan/worm just took up residence on your computer.Either that, or v1.6 of µTorrent has a setting that's just too much for your system/network/internet connection.Best bet to rule that out is to disable DHT and UPnP...and use conservative speed settings.If that doesn't work, chances are the problem's not in µTorrent -- even if you downgrade to v1.5 the problem will still exist, and likely get worse.

Liquid5n0w Posted July 11, 2006 Author Report Share Posted July 11, 2006 No windows update have been done, I have it disabled.No viruses.The problem is specific to uT because Azureus can connect the same trackers on the same torrents just fine. And DHT still connects trackers. The OP has more details also. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Switeck Posted July 11, 2006 Report Share Posted July 11, 2006 Azureus and µTorrent's DHT are not compatible...so if one works and the other doesn't, it doesn't mean much.You need to tell us a LOT more about your connection and all the settings that Speed Guide (CTRL+G) reports as well as half-open setting you're using inside µTorrent.I am pretty sure there's a joker in there causing you problems....You may even want to delete µTorrent's settings so ALL are reset to default.

omahnus Posted July 11, 2006 Report Share Posted July 11, 2006 similar problem! I had a 1.4 saved on another location so I ran it up. we'll see if it works ok... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lucifa42 Posted July 11, 2006 Report Share Posted July 11, 2006 Just a quick note to say I had the same problem as OP.Torrents sitting on "updating tracker", sometimes it would get seed/peer information but no downloading.I quit utorrent and removed utorrent from windows firewall, then loaded utorrent up and it automatically re-added itself.Works fine now.

Liquid5n0w Posted July 11, 2006 Author Report Share Posted July 11, 2006 Ok, that last post gave me an idea, so I looked into it.Apparently, even tho the service for Windows Firewall was disabled it was still blocking programs from the internet.So I tried geting into the Windows Firewall Control Pannel page, but it wouldn't start without the service, and the service wouldn't start because a dependency was disabled (or I assumed). So I enabled all disabled services, ran the service I needed, got into the control page for the Windows Firewall, deleted uTorrent from it.Now it works fine. Apparently the windows firewall still blocks things even when it's service is disabled. Must just be a control service. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
