Guest Posted September 27, 2005 Report Share Posted September 27, 2005 At my school they cap BT a lot but I found a client, BitComet, that would seem to get past this cap, past their packet shaper and firewall, and download at reasonable rates. The cap is normally of like 2kb/s, and with BitComet I've been able to get 200-300KB/s speeds up and down. Of course I've run into all the trackers that hate BitComet for some rediculous reason which has set me on the hunt for a client again, and this one was reccomended by a friend, but of course I can't get over 2kb/s.I was hoping, if it is at all possible, yet still keeping uTorrent small and memory efficient, is to include the NAT Traversal protocol and maybe that DHT network that BitComet and Azurues employ. Also I've been experimenting with proxies and tor in the hopes of getting some decent speeds here; although I'm sure those take up a lot of memory to effectivly work, seeing as how those clients are big and bullky; and was also wondering if some form of proxy/tor support might be added. I prefere this smaller client since it doesn't crash my other programs that need net access like BitComet does; but being unable to get decent speeds I have had to go back to using BitComet.These are just a couple suggestions I had, and I'm sure there are others out there that have the same problems with their NAT firewall, whether at school or at home.

Guest Posted September 28, 2005 Author Report Share Posted September 28, 2005 indeed, it would help a tone if it included network settings esp. proxy settings...hope u guys might take this into consideration for next releasegood stuff guys Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted September 29, 2005 Author Report Share Posted September 29, 2005 I agree too! I hardly see DHT and proxy support as features. It's what I would expect from any client really. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Skates Posted October 12, 2005 Report Share Posted October 12, 2005 Yeah, is their any chance of NAT transversal? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chaosblade Posted October 12, 2005 Report Share Posted October 12, 2005 BitComet 'bypasses' the cap because it encrypts the packet headers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Skates Posted October 12, 2005 Report Share Posted October 12, 2005 Not only BitComet, it seems all the other clients do a pretty good job too. With uTorrent when I run it on our NAT network that I don't have admin access to, I cannot get uTorrent to download anything. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chaosblade Posted October 12, 2005 Report Share Posted October 12, 2005 Because it probably isnt allowed to open ports because of that. Not exactly µTorrent's fault in my eyes, unless you actually WANT it to bypass security on your OS. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Skates Posted October 12, 2005 Report Share Posted October 12, 2005 To be honest I really wouldn't care what it does to bypass the NAT, as long as it was downloading! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
G&G Posted October 23, 2005 Report Share Posted October 23, 2005 I want ask is NAT Traversal will be added to this very good client beacouse like me lots of people are behind NAT and this feature will be very helpful? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Muzy Posted October 23, 2005 Report Share Posted October 23, 2005 NAT transversal, is an excellent option.I m looking forward to this option, I really want to use the connection at my University without any restriction on the downloadin/ uploading speed.thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mleko Posted October 26, 2005 Report Share Posted October 26, 2005 I agree. I have forwarded ports but I have problem ( http://forum.utorrent.com/viewtopic.php?t=1602 ) so NAT transversal will be excellent Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MrTufty Posted October 26, 2005 Report Share Posted October 26, 2005 You only need to forward the one port guys - I'm behind a NAT, and opening up the single listen port is all I've needed to do to get the "Network OK" message.Granted my router has uPnP and I'm using that option in uTorrent, so I don't know what configuration problems you're having that's stopping it working for you.

Veneficus Posted November 10, 2005 Report Share Posted November 10, 2005 Attempting to revive topic.NAT traversal would be very useful for many people who are behind NATs over which they have no control. Unfortunately, it requires a UDP version of the peer-to-peer part of the BitTorrent protocol (NOT for connecting to the tracker) because of its nature. I'd like to see an official response from ludde or vurlix about this.More info: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/UDP_hole_punching Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
canuckerfan Posted November 11, 2005 Report Share Posted November 11, 2005 I would like this, too. can come in handy at times... NAT Traversal that is, since DHT is in 1.2 already. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ColdArmor Posted November 11, 2005 Report Share Posted November 11, 2005 After reading up about NAT Traversal... that's totally badass, I would love to see that on uTorrent. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Alphasee Posted November 12, 2005 Report Share Posted November 12, 2005 This would be an awesome accomplishment, for those of us with ISPs who 'monitor' packets ... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mujahid7ia Posted November 14, 2005 Report Share Posted November 14, 2005 Yeah, this would definitely make uTorrent my preferred client. But for now, I am stuck with the hated BitComet / BitLord client types. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Skates Posted November 17, 2005 Report Share Posted November 17, 2005 Any news on if NAT Transversal will be added anytime soon? I'm behind a uni NAT network and their is no way for me to forward ports, so a feature such as this would be greatly appreciated... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MoJo Posted November 17, 2005 Report Share Posted November 17, 2005 Lets not also forget the original feature that was suggested. Adopt BitComet's (Packet Encryption) feature, as I can also confirm that it does a heap of help on ISP's that are like mine, do throttle packets especially those generated by P2P activities. My ISP is Rogers, and that basically is most parts of Canada. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Firon Posted November 17, 2005 Report Share Posted November 17, 2005 It's hard to add packet encryption because BitComet is closed source and there's no public information on what they do for said encryption. Most likely, a totally different packet encryption would have to be used. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Skates Posted November 18, 2005 Report Share Posted November 18, 2005 Any chance of getting the packet encryption from BitComet in order to use a compatible standard? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
1c3d0g Posted November 18, 2005 Report Share Posted November 18, 2005 Did you read Firon's post? :/ How are they supposed to implement BitComet's packet encryption without the source? :| Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
