dshillymonkey Posted November 28, 2007 Report Share Posted November 28, 2007 So heres the problem. I'm in college and I went home and downloaded with ease on my home line but when I came back all the sudden my torrents won't download and when they do its ridiculous speeds like .5kb/sec and never gets about 3kb/sec. It says No Incoming Connections at the bottom and when I test ports no matter which port, they are always not open. I would think this was a firewall problem but I downloaded before my trip home at decent speeds. Also, my roommate has no problems with his uTorrent. I don't have windows firewall on.Please help. I've tried your freedom with no avail. My school does use wireless and hard line and when I disable one or the other nothing changes. I have no clue what router they use. Also, I don't know if this is related but when I check for updates it says unable to contact utorrent update server.EDIT: Sorry I'm new and I should've posted this in speed troubles.

swiv Posted January 19, 2008 Report Share Posted January 19, 2008 Yeah, same here. The thing is, my utorrent used to work fine, and I was able to download files really fast until the new update came out. Ever since I accepted the update, I can't connect to the network anymore. I'm also on a college campus. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jewelisheaven Posted January 19, 2008 Report Share Posted January 19, 2008 If you have a firewall you configured the OLD 1.7.5 version on you need to RE-setup for the new version. Yet another reason software firewalls are useless and only serve to annoy when you're behind a router. Now on a college campus it is GOOD PRACTICE to keep your computer secured, but a software firewall doesn't do that either. Turn off all non-essential services and the best anyone can hope to find is your IP public shares and your comuter type/information. Also afaik Windows Firewall does a fine job of preventing incoming connections should you choose to use one. And it doesn't cause trouble with uT as uT integrates with windows calls for it.

doctorhotpants Posted January 22, 2008 Report Share Posted January 22, 2008 getting the same problems, have opened up ports on my router and firewall, and even turned the firewall off, but still unable to even see peers, and resolve the hostname in the utorrent client.any other ideas?

jewelisheaven Posted January 22, 2008 Report Share Posted January 22, 2008 I made an extensive post on troubleshooting this trouble. If you're not even connecting to trackers, it is a SURE sign that your software is incorrectly configured. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
