slayers Posted November 25, 2005 Report Share Posted November 25, 2005 Do you have Network OK? Go over the FAQ and search the forum for speed related topics. There is plenty of things you could do depending. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Michael Blue Posted November 25, 2005 Author Report Share Posted November 25, 2005 Looked through them. I'm a newbie, and don't know what Network OK is. I'm on WinXP and DSL. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Firon Posted November 25, 2005 Report Share Posted November 25, 2005 Look for the section on NAT Error, read the FAQ better, and search the forums about this. If after all that you can't figure it out, then post here again for help. But only after you've done that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Michael Blue Posted November 25, 2005 Author Report Share Posted November 25, 2005 From that section: "Make sure you set an exception for incoming and outgoing connections for µTorrent in your firewall's configuration!"I have done this, am only D/L'ing 2 torrents at a time. I will be downloading for the next week or two solid (all Top Gear Episodes) and will not disconnect my firewall for that long. Sorry if I'm missing something obvious, but as far as I can tell, I've taken every step outlined here and in the FAQ. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Firon Posted November 25, 2005 Report Share Posted November 25, 2005 oy vey, I forgot to mention Network OK there... added it now ;p"If everything is set up fine, you will see Network OK in the status bar (to the left of DHT:) after you start a torrent and get an incoming connection. If it stays blank, try a torrent with many peers to make sure there's enough peers in the swarm to guarantee you getting an incoming connection."If you see that, then tell us your settings (default or otherwise), and the swarm size.

Michael Blue Posted November 26, 2005 Author Report Share Posted November 26, 2005 I have a NAT error, but utorrent is listed in my "exceptions" on my firewall. Thanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Firon Posted November 26, 2005 Report Share Posted November 26, 2005 Do you have a router? Is your modem a router/modem combo?You can check fairly easily if you don't know.Start -> Run -> cmdtype ipconfig, press enter.You should see something like this...>ipconfigWindows IP ConfigurationEthernet adapter Local Area Connection: Connection-specific DNS Suffix . : IP Address. . . . . . . . . . . . : 192.168.1.2 Subnet Mask . . . . . . . . . . . : 255.255.255.0 Default Gateway . . . . . . . . . : 192.168.1.1If it's either 192.168.x or 176.x.x.x, you're behind a router. In which case, you should open your browser, and go to the the IP that's specified in Default Gateway to set up the options you need. Typically, it's called Port Forwarding or Virtual Server, you'll have to look through the various pages in the web interface to find it.If no to both of these, it means the exception on your firewall didn't work. You have to make sure to permit all outbound on TCP/UDP and inbound on your listening port for TCP/UDP for utorrent.exe Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Michael Blue Posted November 26, 2005 Author Report Share Posted November 26, 2005 All my firewall settings for both my computer and the router are wide-open. Only thing left would be to turn it off altogether. "You have to make sure to permit all outbound on TCP/UDP and inbound on your listening port for TCP/UDP for utorrent.exe"How do I do this?Thanks!

Firon Posted November 26, 2005 Report Share Posted November 26, 2005 I'm not sure... what firewall are you using? Someone else might know how to configure that for the one you use. I don't use any so I'm not familiar with their interfaces. :/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Michael Blue Posted November 26, 2005 Author Report Share Posted November 26, 2005 Windows XP's built-in firewall. I was trying to d/l the early top gear episodes, and added a newer one to test it. The newer one is running much faster, so could it even be something as stupid as a lack of peers serving it?Oh well...Thanks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Firon Posted November 26, 2005 Report Share Posted November 26, 2005 Well, since you get NAT Error, it probably means that you didn't set up the exception properly in Windows Firewall.. There's probably others here who know how to set it up, but personally I don't use it, so I can't help.Since you can't receive incoming connections or connected to other peers behind NAT, it will hurt your speeds.And yes, you can see the number of seeders/peers in the swarm by clicking on the torrent and looking in the General tab.
