axion Posted November 4, 2006 Report Share Posted November 4, 2006 i am trying to download a [specifics removed] and it has done this twice now. i stopped it the first time and then tried to re-download the same torrent to a new location, and it went really fast, but there i sat once again, watching it count down to 15 seconds left, 10 seconds left, and it happened again, right at 99.7 percent. also, the entire time that i download, the red exclamation point is at the bottom and says, "not connectable, a firewall/router is limiting your network traffic. you need to open up a port so others can connect to you."i went through all the steps that it gives you at portforward.com after you check if your port is forwarded or open, which it of course gives me a red "failed" and says it's not open. i am using verizon fios and an actiontec MI424WR. i went through all the steps correctly (or so i think) and it still says the port is not open, and the red exclamation point is still apparent. please help! i've downloaded other things before, about a month ago with utorrent and it worked fine, but this keeps on doing this! i haven't tried downloading anything else, just this [specifics removed], so i don't know if it's possible that that's the problem or not. anyways, thanks for the help if it's given!EDIT by silverfire: Read the forum content rules.

Switeck Posted November 5, 2006 Report Share Posted November 5, 2006 Has your computer's LAN ip changed?Does your fios modem also contain a firewall/router that needs configuring? (Don't ask me back because I don't have Fios! Look it up on the internet, try google and/or its maker's website.)Is the torrent a fake or poisoned? (Do a search here for examples/info about that if need be.) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
