SteakNChips Posted October 7, 2006 Report Share Posted October 7, 2006 Hi im currently at uni accomodation and I'm having some problems with uTorrent.The connection here is managed by Cisco Building Broadband Service Manager 5.3. We were told to enter 10.0.1.1:80 into our browsers for them to work and without it we get nothing. So I've entered the same proxy settings for uTorrent (1.6). It connects to the tracker and it finds seeds and peers, but it never connects to them. If anyone can tell me how to fix this I would be very grateful!Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ultima Posted October 7, 2006 Report Share Posted October 7, 2006 You're still not connectable to other peers because your university likely blocks unauthorized traffic. AKA there's little you can do. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SteakNChips Posted October 7, 2006 Author Report Share Posted October 7, 2006 They don't block unauthorized traffic...The accomodation im in isn't actually linked to my uni. All I know is that the only times the proxy address works is in IE6 or Firefox. I've tried it with download managers for example and it doesnt seem to work. Surely if I can connect to trackers and detect peers and seeds then I must be able to connect to them. I'm sure its just a proxy or routing issue.

Ultima Posted October 7, 2006 Report Share Posted October 7, 2006 Connecting to trackers is not the same as connecting to peers. Connecting to trackers uses HTTP. Connecting to peers doesn't. Try enabling the "Use proxy server for peer-to-peer connections," though I can't guarantee anything with that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
