chronicking Posted December 15, 2006 Report Share Posted December 15, 2006 hello. this problem is beginning to echoe around here from what i'm reading in a few of the posts. well i noticed that my DHT couldn't connect [login] on me uttorrent client. i would not have even noticed probably but i'm currently seeding a torrent that the tracker is dead [red arrow] so i started troubleshooting. i tried alot of different setting with windows firewall, the routers firewall, port forwarding, NAT ip settings [enabled] and none of them seemed to help the DHT problem. i used to use bitcomet so i fired it up and DHT connected with over one thousand nodes......hmm[i wonder why bitcomet always has like 10 times more nodes than uttorrent....i guess that's another post]anyway i finally guessed it right. it was peerguardian2. i disabled it and uttorrent DHT finally connected [about 250 nodes-that's about all i ever got out of it]. ok i still wanted to run pg2 because of it 's glorious blocking benefits but didn't want it to interfere with uttorrent tho. i updated it and re-enabled it and it still worked. i'm now running both apps just like before and the DHT is connecting. i'm pretty sure messing with pg2 got me back up and running. pg2 is great but sometimes blocks the wrong ip's. for instance, my free edition of AVG won't update til i alloww HTTP on pg2. you'd think AVG being what it is would be secure to connect to. someone at pg2 thought otherwise for the time being. i think this error was corrected though because now AVG will update without needing manual assistance. pg2 won't let spyware doctor update either. pg2 was even blocking itself the other day. it's gets i'ts [updates] ban list from scourceforge.net and it was even blocking it last week. haahaha i find that amusing. anyway, even tho pg2 is a must for serious filesharers it can cause issues from time to time. it did for me. hopefully someone that is experiencing what i did will read this and it will help them with the DHT issue. thanks for reading this post........lata Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Perriman33 Posted December 29, 2006 Report Share Posted December 29, 2006 I've been having the same problem for a week or two,Dht waiting to login. I thought it was zonealarm as i had an update about then. But turning off PG2 has solved it. It was blocking one item all the time which I thought strange. Oh well at least it wasn't just me!

Ultima Posted December 29, 2006 Report Share Posted December 29, 2006 Their blocklists block utorrent.com. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Switeck Posted December 29, 2006 Report Share Posted December 29, 2006 Once you connect for the 1st time through utorrent.com, µTorrent does not neccessarily need to connect to utorrent.com again to get connected to the DHT network. It's just used to get a short ip list of who is currently connected. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DreadWingKnight Posted December 29, 2006 Report Share Posted December 29, 2006 There is a timeout of a set number of hours on the DHT cache. If you shut down for a week, you will need to either unblock router.utorrent.com or find a torrent with DHT nodes in it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
strummer Posted December 30, 2006 Report Share Posted December 30, 2006 So, is getting PG2 to allow uTorrent as simple as adding http://utorrent.com as a list and setting it to allow? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ultima Posted December 30, 2006 Report Share Posted December 30, 2006 Assuming you can use domain names in the exceptions list, then you'd probably also need to include router.utorrent.com. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gatsudon Posted January 1, 2007 Report Share Posted January 1, 2007 hi! i'm having the same problem right now, not being able to get any DHT connection, it displays 'waiting to log in'... my main prob is i don't have peer guardian nor am using any of the abovementioned programs that may block this. It was actually working fine before but suddenly it stopped working. now i'm getting really low download speeds... i have a norton personal firewall enabled, but utorrent is already granted access on it .. could this still be the source of the problem?? thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gatsudon Posted January 1, 2007 Report Share Posted January 1, 2007 and btw, i'm not sure if this is related, but i also tried to check if my port was being forwarded properly using that feature in utorrent's speedguide, but the browser could not even access it. again, it used to work perfectly fine before..

chronicking Posted January 11, 2007 Author Report Share Posted January 11, 2007 sounds like your port forwarding configuration is wrong........... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
