samsunnyuk Posted August 9, 2006 Report Share Posted August 9, 2006 Hi I just got uTorrent running great, and about 2 or 3 hours later i get this:[image removed for illegal content - blur please]I have forwarded the necessary port on my router. Global Max Connections = 600, Maximum Connected Peers per Torrent = 100, Upload Slots = 1EDIT by silverfire: Image >50KB changed to link. Please prefer PNG over JPG screenshots and read the forum content rules before posting. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JohnDave Posted August 9, 2006 Report Share Posted August 9, 2006 I am having the same problem, before I upgraded to 1.6 I was fine, now I get the red line and it appears the tracker isn't finding what it's looking for.[images removed for illegal content in screenshots - please blur it out]Sorry, hope this is better http://static.flickr.com/77/211197967_7b89165c62_b.jpgI have followed the port forwarding instructions and that now appears to be fine. As you may be able to guess, I'm not a computer genius but I have read the FAQ's and I still can't get it to work.ThanksJohn Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Switeck Posted August 9, 2006 Report Share Posted August 9, 2006 "Global Max Connections = 600, Maximum Connected Peers per Torrent = 100, Upload Slots = 1"Why only 1 upload slot!?!?What's your upload speed max set to?Your max connections and connections per torrent may be overloading your networking hardware/software.

samsunnyuk Posted August 9, 2006 Author Report Share Posted August 9, 2006 Upload speed set to 7 (fastest it goes is 12) (kBytes not bits)Also get this message "No connection could be made because the target machine actively refused it. "And heres how my status bar is looking: Ah I've been trying to resolve this for 3 hours now, its ridiculous... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ultima Posted August 10, 2006 Report Share Posted August 10, 2006 And you're sure you set a static IP? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
samsunnyuk Posted August 10, 2006 Author Report Share Posted August 10, 2006 yea my pc is set as the DMZ host, somtimes my local IP changes so i have to point to my pc again in the router settings though.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DreadWingKnight Posted August 10, 2006 Report Share Posted August 10, 2006 yea my pc is set as the DMZ host,This is not a static IP.somtimes my local IP changes so i have to point to my pc again in the router settings though..Then the answer to Ultima's question is "No" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ultima Posted August 10, 2006 Report Share Posted August 10, 2006 Setting your PC as the DMZ thingy requires static IP anyway. All it means is that you don't have to specifically forward a port. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
samsunnyuk Posted August 10, 2006 Author Report Share Posted August 10, 2006 oh right. azureus works ok, NAT is green. So i dunno why utorrent doesnt work. its a shame cos it went alot faster.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DreadWingKnight Posted August 10, 2006 Report Share Posted August 10, 2006 uT won't work because you haven't taken the time to set everything up properly yet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ultima Posted August 10, 2006 Report Share Posted August 10, 2006 Azureus' UPnP implementation is more mature than µTorrent's anyway. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
samsunnyuk Posted August 10, 2006 Author Report Share Posted August 10, 2006 i was setting it up for about 3 hours. also it worked fine for ages Then it suddenly stopped, but azureus still works. Can someone help me out please? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ultima Posted August 10, 2006 Report Share Posted August 10, 2006 Set up a static IP like we've told you already? You admitted yourself that your LAN IP changes periodically, so is the correlation between LAN IP changes and port forwarded state changes not obvious?

samsunnyuk Posted August 10, 2006 Author Report Share Posted August 10, 2006 ah yes but it doesnt happen often at all-only if say, i turn off my pc then someone else turns on thier pc on the network then i turned mine back on. for the most while my IP stays the same, and necessary ports are forwarded to me. if my IP changes then i forward the ports to the new IP Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ultima Posted August 10, 2006 Report Share Posted August 10, 2006 Why are you (almost) resisting our suggestions if you're looking for help...? O.o Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
samsunnyuk Posted August 10, 2006 Author Report Share Posted August 10, 2006 sorry good point lol. i just like explaining things cos it helps me understand better I'll edit this post once i've done the static IP business..EDITRight I've setup static IP's for all pc's on the Network, and my torrents now connect to the trackers/seeds/peers. BUT I get a caution sign in the status bar (where the green button should be) so im guessing I have a NAT problem (although azureus connects fine).Any ideas on this??

Ultima Posted August 10, 2006 Report Share Posted August 10, 2006 Yellow doesn't necessarily mean bad. Have you tried another torrent, like the Slackware torrent? If it's still yellow, are you using a software firewall? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
samsunnyuk Posted August 10, 2006 Author Report Share Posted August 10, 2006 Cool i just tried the slackware torrent and it works fine, NAT is green now. Must be sods law.. Thanks for all the help! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Switeck Posted August 10, 2006 Report Share Posted August 10, 2006 Now I suggest if you can only upload <15 KB/sec max that you vastly reduce your global max connections, max connections per torrent, and probably max torrents to run at once.They can cause overloads by themselves that can create firewalled conditions.

samsunnyuk Posted August 10, 2006 Author Report Share Posted August 10, 2006 My settings now areGlobal Maximum Connections = 200Max connected peers per Torrent = 26Max half open connections = 40 (set to 50 with the TCP sys patch thing)Upload Slots = 2Max upload speed = 8 kBMax download = 90 kBHeres my speed graph (click to enlarge)I think theres still something wrong..

Ultima Posted August 10, 2006 Report Share Posted August 10, 2006 Not necessarily, torrents don't guarantee speeds. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
samsunnyuk Posted August 10, 2006 Author Report Share Posted August 10, 2006 i suppose, but yesterday they stayed at peak speed, until i had the weird problem (see first post) .. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ultima Posted August 10, 2006 Report Share Posted August 10, 2006 Meh that doesn't mean much, I've had constant speeds on some torrents, and not-so-constant speeds on others. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Switeck Posted August 11, 2006 Report Share Posted August 11, 2006 With such a low upload speed (presumeably close already to your connection's real max), allowing lots of half-open connections doesn't help at all. Lots of upload bandwidth gets used trying to make NEW connections instead of letting the already-made connections run faster.Even having lots of connections at once is counterproductive on slower connections.If a 1 megabit line can be maxed out with as few as 10 total connections, why allow 200 connections?This is also why it doesn't make good sense to have 20+ connections on dial-up.
