gjmichell Posted December 3, 2007 Report Share Posted December 3, 2007 I'm using uT 1.6.1 on a BT HomeHub. I've set up port forwarding properly and had torrents running fine for while. Recently uT won't get any connection at all on any of the PCs on the network, status at the bottom says 'DHT: waiting to login' or 'nodes 0 (login)'. Any suggestions for a relative novice?

DreadWingKnight Posted December 3, 2007 Report Share Posted December 3, 2007 I'm using uT 1.6.1Which we don't support.Do OpenOffice torrents work or not?Btw, your ISP is known to be bittorrent hostile. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gjmichell Posted December 3, 2007 Author Report Share Posted December 3, 2007 yes OpenOffice does work. does this mean that it is just my ISP blocking some trackers/sites and there's nothing I can do about it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DreadWingKnight Posted December 3, 2007 Report Share Posted December 3, 2007 Most likely not, you may need to try a more varied set of torrents to be sure. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Firon Posted December 4, 2007 Report Share Posted December 4, 2007 Not possible to forward ports on cellular internet, as you never get a real IP. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gjmichell Posted December 4, 2007 Author Report Share Posted December 4, 2007 For anyone who's interested DWK was correct, it was just a few problematic torrents that wouldn't connect. Tried a few more and others work fine. Thanks again! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Switeck Posted December 4, 2007 Report Share Posted December 4, 2007 Because you're permanently firewalled (by not having a real internet IP), on many torrents with fewer peers/seeds...you can't connect to any of the peers/seeds because they're all firewalled as well or already maxed out their connections.
