Tons of hashfails

[dorkcovenant]

Okay,

I'm getting an absolutely amazing number of hashfails on my torrents and getting banned all over the place (presumably as consequence.)

I'm using an 2Wire 2700 HG-B Gateway, connected via lan cable. I don't have full game mode/DMZ+ enabled, but I do have exceptions made for utorrent and Steam.

I need advice on what I have to do to get it to stop having so many hashfails while still maintaining an open port.

Thanks

Try a torrent from there -- do you get hashfails still? What security softwares are you using? Modem? What ISP?

I deleted the one file that was giving me massive amounts of hashfails--even a few while I was downloading the ubuntu file--and set the ubuntu file to download and I haven't gotten any hashfails.

I had been getting hashfails and bans before I added that one torrent, but I'm not getting any at the moment.

As I said before, I use a 2Wire 2700 HG-B Gateway to connect. (It is both a modem and a router, I don't use the router feature.)

I've got windows firewall and clamwin and we've got SBC Yahoo DSL for ISP.

(PS: Where can I find more torrents from people like this? Seriously, I don't care what I'm downloading, at 500 kb/s, I'll download it anyway. )

lol I don't know why I keep forgetting the 2700 is a modem+router combo... Even after at least 3 or 4 other people asked about it xD

If it's not happening with Ubuntu, it's a problem with the torrent(s) you're trying to download.

Hmm, hmm, hmm, I suppose so; I just really wanted that torrent, couldn't find it anywhere. Oh well.
