Connection Problem .

[Roger Waters]

Hi.

For over a year now my Utorrent 1.6 (build 474) has been perfect.

I have a Netgear DG834g router and windows XP.

I have port forwarded ok, and set up a static IP address ok ( I am sure ).

Last weekend when i opened my Utorrent to download i could not get

connected to a torrent, nor get the Green tick up.

Its been working some of this week perfectly, other times not.

Sometimes i am downloading perfectly but have a yellow triangle ???? ( no green tick)

Sometimes logging on and off sorts it.

Today its not downloading anything again !

No incoming connection (yellow triangle)

Although it did start earlier perfectly with yellow triangle.

I have rechecked every setting...all ok though.

Whats changed/gone wrong ?

All help welcomed.

Regards

RW

... your ISP may have enacted shaping methods :/ Nothing that can be done. I will tell you the in-development 1.8 version has workarounds for shaping profiles and works for multiple ISPs. You can even run it self-encapsulated to keep old settings.

Hi.

Funny thing is it all started running ok an hour ago.(green Tick)

Now although still downloading (slower) i have the yellow triangle now.

My ISP is Orange ( used to be Wanadoo)

Very strange.

If i install the 1.8 version will it work.

I hear some upgrades dont work ?

Cheers

Incomplete thoughts are bad. I meant to say "you can run it self-encapsulated to keep old settings from being affected. If definitely it goes on and off without any changes it's your ISP. It's best to keep a log of when things work and when they dont. Also checking the OpenOffice download from the Setup Guide and How-To during those times will verify when your ISP is actively interfering, or unable to cope with demand in your area. What ISP are you on? Is it listed on http://azureuswiki.com/index.php/Bad_ISPs (not updated very recently i think) OR does it come up with lots of problems as a search on the forum?
