Firon Posted November 18, 2005 Report Share Posted November 18, 2005 beg the BitComet devs for it (haha), or pay them money for the source like BitLord did.. lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chezy Posted December 31, 2005 Report Share Posted December 31, 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.yup not mu's fault, the thing is most of us r behing a common ipwhich is the nat.bitcommet is the only software that works. With the fame of utorrent, as soon as it supports NAT traversal, its user base will increase even more.EDIT by silverfire: Subsequent double-posted bump deleted =_=;;; Read the rules. Don't bump.

chaosblade Posted January 14, 2006 Report Share Posted January 14, 2006 BitComet is the only client to implement NAT Traversal indeed. But im not sure if its something other clients need to implement either. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nefarious Posted January 14, 2006 Report Share Posted January 14, 2006 well, there is nothing wrong i can see about it... is there? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chaosblade Posted January 14, 2006 Report Share Posted January 14, 2006 Wrong? Depends on the situation. It allows people with no will to learn how their computer works to download faster ("i dont wanna port forward, it will make my computer get h4x0red"). In the other case, like chezy's perheps, there are people who CANT port-forward since they are limite by their <university\isp\insert-favorite-evil-do'er-here>.

00 Posted January 25, 2006 Report Share Posted January 25, 2006 NAT traversal would eliminate so many troubleshooting threads.Don't know if you have seen this before:STUNT: TCP NAT Traversalhttp://nutss.gforge.cis.cornell.edu/stunt.php Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
splintax Posted January 25, 2006 Report Share Posted January 25, 2006 NAT traversal and PHE would be good to have in µTorrent for those behind NATs beyond their control and those with filtering on the admin/ISP level.But these have been suggested since so long ago, there is no sense in reviving a thread about it. ludde is looking into both, IIRC, and it looks like we'll get PHE first. (There are different methods of NAT traversal and it looks like it will be difficult to get it working without using more bandwidth on utorrent.com. ) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hesd Posted June 14, 2006 Report Share Posted June 14, 2006 NAT traversaly may be my [and countless others] only hope. My ISP doesn't allow port forwarding, not in the distant future. Also, wifi requires dynamic IP address, which really makes port forwarding impossible. T-T Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

osm0sis Posted June 14, 2006 Report Share Posted June 14, 2006 whoo. talk about reviving an old thread. as for updates: µTorrent of course has DHT compatible with Mainline and BitComet. A joint-specification with Azureus for Packet Encryption (not only the header now, much more difficult to detect) has been implemented - and BitComet and KTorrent and others have switched to it as well. µTorrent has Peer Exchange. will probably never have Azureus DHT .... and NAT traversal is still in alpha (?).

Firon Posted June 20, 2006 Report Share Posted June 20, 2006 Protocol Encryption, not packet encryption. NAT Traversal is on hold because of technical problems ludde doesn't know how to solve. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nish81 Posted October 22, 2006 Report Share Posted October 22, 2006 Any update on the status of NAT Traversal?I'm behind a NAT and my ISP doesn't allow port-forwarding. NAT Traversal on utorrent would let me make the switch from bitlord to utorrent that I want to make. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dark Shroud Posted October 23, 2006 Report Share Posted October 23, 2006 I'd also like to know of an update on NAT Traversal for my college lan.nish81, ditch that spyware bitlord trash and get BitComet 0.70 for NAT Traversial. Its the lesser of two evils. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nish81 Posted October 23, 2006 Report Share Posted October 23, 2006 I will as soon as my current torrents finish. AFAIK bitcomet cannot resume downloads that were started by other clients...Also, anything I've downloaded with bitlord, I have to seed with bitlord instead of bitcomet, because bitcomet cannot resume those :S Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
maku8ex Posted October 23, 2006 Report Share Posted October 23, 2006 indeed i'd like to see NAT transversal, & Azureus DHT compatiblity in the future versions.NAT transversal esp, that would eliminate the need to forward ports(in comps without uPNP) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nish81 Posted October 23, 2006 Report Share Posted October 23, 2006 If ludde is having technical problems implementing NAT Traversal, then is there a way to just make that specific bit of utorrent opensource? Or run a competition where any interested coders can try to code a NAT traversal bit into utorrent?I'm not sure how coding in utorrent, (or indeed, coding overall) works, but is this possible?

Switeck Posted October 23, 2006 Report Share Posted October 23, 2006 The Limewire Gnutella client has NAT Tranversal and is open source and compartmentalized such that JUST the NAT Transversal part/s could be easily studied. From what I remember of the Gnutella network and NAT Transversal there, it worked really well....However it is coded in JAVA! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nish81 Posted October 23, 2006 Report Share Posted October 23, 2006 @Ultima: well, Switeck seems to have made a good suggestion above you - maybe ludde could study the NAT Traversal code in the Gnutella client....and find a way to translate it into whatever language utorrent uses?

Ultima Posted October 24, 2006 Report Share Posted October 24, 2006 At this point, I don't even know what the exact issue ludde was having with NAT traversal was, or whether looking at other code would even help him at all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
