IceFiend Posted November 6, 2006 Report Share Posted November 6, 2006 I've read the listing on DHT problems,but it hasn't worked. I'm not even running a firewall right now, and I still don't connect to the tracker. I can download or upload, but the button remains red.I have DHT on inside of uTorrent, and I'm using a random port for each execution. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

IceFiend Posted November 9, 2006 Author Report Share Posted November 9, 2006 The torrents are working but I'm not connected to the tracker.I can't start seeds. Once something has been seeded I can leech or seed. But I'm not connected to the tracker only other clients. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
caf4926 Posted November 9, 2006 Report Share Posted November 9, 2006 no firewall - not a good ideause a chosen port, like 55555, and config port forwarding Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
silverfire Posted November 9, 2006 Report Share Posted November 9, 2006 If you have a router, then a software firewall is pretty much useless. You're better off without it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Antares Posted November 9, 2006 Report Share Posted November 9, 2006 I have the same problem. I tried port forwarding but when I entered the default ip address in Mozilla Firefox it said that the page couldn't be displayed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IceFiend Posted November 11, 2006 Author Report Share Posted November 11, 2006 I only uninstalled my firewall to test and see if it was the problem. Its a direct connection, but I'm not on the tracker. The tacker has no clue I'm even there.I've tested further and as it turns out UDP trackers can see my client but http trackers aren't seeing it.I've tried uninstlling and reinstalling uTorrent from scratch just in case it was something odd I'd done, but that isn't it.Azeraus is working even behind a firewall, so is BitComet, but I really hate both of those programs. Azeraus is slow on my old computer and BitComet is banned by half of the nodes in any swarm. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Switeck Posted November 11, 2006 Report Share Posted November 11, 2006 µTorrent does not work with pure UDP trackers, it only works with TCP trackers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
blahblahblah0 Posted November 12, 2006 Report Share Posted November 12, 2006 Ah, that must explain why Demonoid UDP tracker isn't working for me. Is this feature going to be added? I read in the Demonoid FAQ that UDP trackers are less of a strain on the server so that would be considerate to use. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ultima Posted November 12, 2006 Report Share Posted November 12, 2006 UDP tracker support has been rejected many times before, and AFAIK there aren't any plans to add support for it at all. It may use less bandwidth, but it's less reliable, and has more limitations. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
