torntrouble Posted February 20, 2008 Report Share Posted February 20, 2008 I have been using an air card since October of 07. I didnt have an issue at that time with downloading torrents.. As of January 08 however i've had issues. Having changed nothing, i get the yellow triagle stating there are no incoming connections. when i check of course, the port isn't forwarded. there is no walkthrough for my situation in the support areas so i thought maybe someone here could help. this issue is causing me to not downoad anything whatsoever. there are no routers or gateways in my home and i don't have keys to those my conputer picks up so air card is my ONLY means to internet. why was it working before and suddenly no longer? I NEED HELP!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AllGamer Posted February 20, 2008 Report Share Posted February 20, 2008 seems like your ISP started to do blocking / throttling of P2P connectionscan you still download?try the OpenOffice and see if that workslink on my siggie Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ultima Posted February 21, 2008 Report Share Posted February 21, 2008 It's just a torrent we use as a benchmark to test downloads speeds and make sure things are working expectedly.When you say "air card," are you referring to some kind of wireless internet connection (perhaps, from some telephone company)?

torntrouble Posted February 21, 2008 Author Report Share Posted February 21, 2008 yup, that's what i am referring to. i have it through at&t. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Firon Posted February 21, 2008 Report Share Posted February 21, 2008 You generally do not get a real IP, so you can't forward ports. But that shouldn't cause you to be unable to torrent -at all.-What is your firewall? Can you post a HijackThis log? Did the OpenOffice torrent do the same thing?

torntrouble Posted February 21, 2008 Author Report Share Posted February 21, 2008 not sure what to do after downloading openoffice Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Firon Posted February 21, 2008 Report Share Posted February 21, 2008 The point of the OO torrent is to see if you can torrent at all.If you can, the problem likely lies with the other torrents you picked. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
torntrouble Posted February 21, 2008 Author Report Share Posted February 21, 2008 i'm not too sure about open office but what i do know is that i still have the yellow triangle saying no incoming connections and nothing is happening with the torrents i pick. seeds/peers sky high and nothing. has been this way for too long now. not really understanding why its no longer working for me Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ultima Posted February 21, 2008 Report Share Posted February 21, 2008 You generally can't forward your port if you're using a wireless internet connection. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
