GHammer Posted April 19, 2007 Report Share Posted April 19, 2007 µTorrent always opens its ports via UPnP just fine.When closed the port is not closed.When I start µTorrent again, even days later, the log shows the port is open already.All other apps that use UPnP here are able to close their ports, µTorrent should too.I have changed ports, and have reset the router to factory to make certain all is ok with it. I still have the port left open after µTorrent exits.Any ideas? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Switeck Posted April 19, 2007 Report Share Posted April 19, 2007 It may be a flaw in UPnP handling by your operating system as well.My suggestion is do away with UPnP and use manual port forwarding from your router to your computer's LAN ip.

GHammer Posted April 20, 2007 Author Report Share Posted April 20, 2007 Yes, I suppose it could be. However, every other program that uses UPnP here works well, so it is a low likelyhood. Plus, µTorrent does everything except close the port on exit.[08:14:19] UPnP: Discovered new device: http://10.10.100.1:80/upnp/control3[08:14:19] UPnP: Port 49149 is already mapped. Not re-mapping.I do not want ports open through the router on a permanent basis. If I did, I wouldn't use UPnP. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DreadWingKnight Posted April 20, 2007 Report Share Posted April 20, 2007 The only security risk with having a port open is if you run a vulnerable application that listens on the port. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GHammer Posted April 20, 2007 Author Report Share Posted April 20, 2007 I think we are getting away from the point. I'm aware of workarounds for the problem.Point is, all other apps that use UPnP on my system are able to inquire, open, and close ports on my router.µTorrent is not able to do so, the log doesn't show it even tries to close its port. It is a problem with µTorrent, and has been for a few builds. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Switeck Posted April 21, 2007 Report Share Posted April 21, 2007 µTorrent would only be closing the port it opened using UPnP as the last act of shutting down.Unless you've told µTorrent to save the log to a file, you probably would never see its attempt.

GHammer Posted April 21, 2007 Author Report Share Posted April 21, 2007 Start µTorrent with no torrents, so no other activity.I see the router is found, I see that the port is open already as it has not been closed.I right click and choose log to file.Exit µTorrentThe resulting log file is empty.No, it does not shut the port ever. As I have pointed out, if I change the port the new port will be opened by µTorrent then all subsequent runs will show the port already open.

Switeck Posted April 21, 2007 Report Share Posted April 21, 2007 Seems you found a bug then...Sorry I thought otherwise, just standard troubleshooting proceedure I guess to eliminate even unlikely possibilities. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
