Creepette Posted July 7, 2007 Report Posted July 7, 2007 Okay so for the past three days I have been using this program and it has been working just great. I was able to download six movies with no problem. All were MP4 format.Earlier today it just stopped working. I have a yellow icon on the bottom that says "No incoming connections" And when I did the port test and it said "Error! Port 36338 does not appear to be open." But I tried downloading a .wmv file and it works just fine. Along with a test torrent that was a .zip file.So can someone please tell me why only the MP4 files won't download... I already tried the firewall thing, and I cannot touch my router. My dad would kill me if I did.
µtorrent-Guest Posted July 7, 2007 Report Posted July 7, 2007 the ability to download isn't depending on the type of file you try (.mov or .wmv or else).It depends if the tracker is working, if peers with the content are present in the swarm and if you are connected to the swarm.If you can't forward a port there is nothing you can do if no fully connectable peers, that have those .mov files you want, are present.
Creepette Posted July 7, 2007 Author Report Posted July 7, 2007 I don't get it... how come it says my port isn't working when .wmv and .zip files download just fine, while .mp4 no matter where I download the file from won't work...
Ultima Posted July 7, 2007 Report Posted July 7, 2007 http://bt.degreez.net/firewalled.htmlBeing firewalled does not mean you can't download. Even still, if at all possible, being in a firewalled state should be avoided.
Creepette Posted July 7, 2007 Author Report Posted July 7, 2007 So in other words I should turn off my Firewall?
Ultima Posted July 7, 2007 Report Posted July 7, 2007 No, you should configure it properly to allow µTorrent to use the listening port.
µtorrent-Guest Posted July 7, 2007 Report Posted July 7, 2007 ...and to do that, you MUST touch the router. since thats the point where the connection is blocked.
Creepette Posted July 7, 2007 Author Report Posted July 7, 2007 Alright. Can someone please show me where it explains how to do this step-by-step.
Ultima Posted July 7, 2007 Report Posted July 7, 2007 http://www.utorrent.com/setup_guide.phpPay attention to the NAT problems section.

Creepette Posted July 7, 2007 Author Report Posted July 7, 2007 Thank you both so much for the quick replies and helping me out. I'll give the portforwarding a shot.
