port forward problem?

[bresto]

I have forwarded ports on my router and the speed guide test tells me that everything's fine, however the icon at the bottom never turns green. My speeds seem fine, but I'm just curious as to whether anybody has come across this problem before.

It's known to happen, but you are correct to be concerned.

Run the speed guide test again, but this time wait until you are 15-20 minutes into a running torrent.

If the test fails when the torrent is running "at speed," but it passes when no torrents are running, then this is an indication that your Upload Speed maximum setting is set too high. The amount of data trying to go from your machine to the internet is overwhelming, and so some packets are being delayed or dropped.

Go back through the Speed Guide again, but be sure that you are setting your connection type for your correct upload speed.
