[Sh0X]

What modem are you using? What does the port checker in the Speed Guide say about your port status?

[Sh0X]

I am with VirginMedia (was NTL) Its the NTL: 250 modem.

It says this:

Welcome to the µTorrent Port Checker.

A test will be performed on your computer to check if the specified port is opened.

Checking port 42422 on XX.XXX.XX.XXX.XX...

OK! Port 42422 is open and accepting connections.

You will be able to receive incoming BitTorrent connections.

But in the right corner there is a yellow triangle.

yellow means that you jsut don'trecieve any incomming at the moment, non the less you are able too as the checker says.

one often reason for no incomming cons is that the user has set wrong settings for his µT which will result in overloading of the line and hardware and therefore no incomming cons.

make sure you use the right value in CTRL+G. this is your UPLOADspeed your line is capable to. Do some speedtests if you don't know that value.

479kbps

k, and are your setting values regarding number running torrents, connections per torrent/in total, uploadslots and uploadspeed somewhere in the range between what the xx/384k and xx/512k?

I was using this:

[DreadWingKnight]

That's a calculator for azureus, not for uTorrent.

[Sh0X]

anyone? what should I set the speed guide too

[µtorrent-Guest]

"somewhere in the range between what the xx/384k and xx/512k [suggest]"

[Switeck]

That calculator is not too bad, although I think it tells you to use LOTS of connections.

(Speed Guide does too, but that's another story!)

ok
