HELP! I've tried it all!

[Synthesis]

Hey guys and gals,

Alright... here's the story... uTorrent have been the suck for me forever because of the stupid NAT issues.. so I have tried almost everything but creating a static IP as I use my laptop in several location (home, school, office). I could set up a static IP to set up port forwarding but I won't be able to log in to the net at the university... At home I have one of the WRT54G routers and been through the whole schpiel with that thing as well... tried firewall tinkering as well (I am actually not even running a firewall now!)... still nada...

I have even tried Azureus, BitLord, the whole shebang... and still the same problem..

I have:

Acer Aspire 5670 (T2300 core duo/ 2 GB RAM)

Windows XP w/ SP2

Home Router: Linksys WRT54G

Any suggestions would most appreciated...

Ya... even out at the university where there really isn't any firewall it's this giving me the same error. This means it is something with my comp probably. Anyone have any ideas?

If you are behind a router that is not port forwarded (and UPnP doesn't 'fix' that), you are PERMANENTLY firewalled.

what does that actually mean permanently firewalled and why is it that on sunday nights i can get up to 150kB/s sometimes even 30 kB/s during the week but i when i test my speeds i get up to 1244 Kb/s and an upload of 627 Kb/s if none of that doesnt matter and im still firewalled then is there a way to bypass it? my download is so slow at 7 kB/s when my tests tells me i can get way way higher download speeds and i have gotten way way better d/ speeds up to and over 150 kB/s but thats only on sundays at like 2 in the morning.

If you're permanently firewalled, (because there's a router you cannot port forward) there is *NOTHING* you can do to unfirewall µTorrent short of changing ISPs. Being firewalled means you cannot download or upload torrents with anyone else who is firewalled. Or in other words, you cannot connect to somewhere between about 50% and 90+% of everyone else on the same torrent. Speeds may suck because of that. Every once in awhile, you may connect to a fast, unfirewalled peer or seed that can give you some/all of a torrent...but that will be a far rarer occurance than for someone who is unfirewalled.

What is your best sustained upload speed?

Are you using the xx/640k upload max Speed Guide (CTRL+G) setting?

You seem to be confusing kilobits/sec bandwidth measurement speeds for KiloBYTES/sec file download/upload speeds. 1 KiloBYTE/sec file download speed takes roughly 8-10 kilobits/sec download bandwidth...plus a tiny amount (maybe 0.5 kilobits/sec) of upload bandwidth.

[Fis0893@cup.edu]

best sustained upload speed is 27kB/s up to 41 kB/s when i run DSL report speed test download speed is 2232Kb/s and upload is 698Kb/s my highest test result for download 2657 and 556 upload i get a good download speed from the internet not Utorrent. the firewall thing is probably the cause unless its Vista? my firewall is set up and when i look at my internet properties ipv4 connection is good and ipv6 is limited does that mean that i am firewalled? and if its a router issue why would i get any d/l period? and yes im using the 640 xx setting still same problem this morning i am d/l from 40-58kB/s my highest was 80 kB/s and sustaining an upload speed around from 46-63kB/s all numbers are written exactly as shown.
