Mafl001 Posted October 29, 2006 Report Share Posted October 29, 2006 Hi, I'm new here in this forum and new to torrents as well However for the last two weeks I've been reading and learning a lot about utorrent, but today something unusual happened:My speed was never that great. I am currently downloading 3 files of 8.5 GB and in 1 week I advanced only 15%. But thats really not a problem, because I don't mind waiting a bit. My speeds were usually of 20 KB/s when the trackers were ONLINE. Thats the problem, the trackers are now OFFLINE and my speeds reduced to 5KB/s.I have done everything that you suggested to do in these cases, but no solution yet. I have read lots of posts about speeds as well and still nothing. Trackers remain offline and in time out. Also followed this: - Disabled IP resolving in the Peers tab?- Restarted µTorrent after disabling DHT?- Try disabling UPnP?- What firewall are you using, and have you tried uninstalling it?- Tried lowering the global maximum number of connections to 200? 100? 50?- Lowering net.max_halfopen to 4?- Patched TCPIP.SYS and restarted the computer after patching (this assumes you run Windows XP w/SP2!)?- Restarted the router after doing any of the above?- Connect directly to the modem to make sure it's not your router?- If turns out that it's not the router, what modem are you using?Do I disconnect from a tracker after a week or so?and nothing...................Whats the problem with the trackers. Do they go offline if we use them for over a week? Or is this just a period and they will be online again in a few hours? They've been offline since this morning (+/- 15 hours ago)HOW DO I MAKE THEM GO ONLINE AGAIN ???Would appreciate some help!!!Thanks in advance Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mafl001 Posted October 29, 2006 Author Report Share Posted October 29, 2006 My firewall is incorporated in Panda Titanium antivirus software 2006, but it has a port for utorrent. My Windows firewall is disabled.However there is sth odd that appears in the log. It says: "Error opening Windows Firewall: 0x800706D9" I really don't know what that means, because my Windows firewall is disabled Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ultima Posted October 29, 2006 Report Share Posted October 29, 2006 Regarding the firewall error... http://www.utorrent.com/faq.php#What_does_Error_opening_Windows_Firewall_mean.3FAnyway, try enabling Windows Firewall and uninstalling Panda. Allow µTorrent to add an exception into the Windows Firewall rules. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
