Port forwarded fine but still no DHT

[marisaduk]

I have forwarded the port fine, and know it isn't a firewall problem as i have disabled all firewalls and still get it, I also know it isn't an ISP/modem problem as i don't get this prolbme when i remove the router from the loop.

just for ref I use comodo firewall, and have a scientific atlanta cable modem(can get model number if really neede but don't think it is relevant as mentioned above)

Using a netgear RP614v3

The "light" changes between greentick and yellow ! mark, and DHT only ever says waiting to login, or 0nodes(login)

I get extremely slow, if any down speed at all! Without the router I used to get around 400kB/s

I used portforward.com gave my pc a static IP on the LAN and port forwarded this, which when you run the check comes up all a-ok.

I also have uPnP enabled on the router

anyone got any ideas?

If you manually port forwarded the router, then you probably should disable the UPnP on the router...because that may cause odd problems.

thanks i seemed to have fixed it by deleting the dat and olddat files from %appdata% but now all the seeds have gone offline for the torrent i was so despeartly after

I also have in the past tried only upnp or only port forwadding and utorrent has been slow or parts havent worked only ever works at all when both are on.

I too use a netgear RP614 ver 3. I can only use dht in utorrent when i enable DMZ server and no other solution seems to work. Just curious, what .dat files did you delete from %app data% to get your dht working? Thanks!!

DHT requires unfirewalled UDP traffic on your µTorrent port.
