scoobie Posted December 18, 2005 Report Share Posted December 18, 2005 I have to say that I really like uTorrent, I have always been an Azureus user but I like the fact that Utorrent uses so little resorces. The only problem I have with uTorrent is that the UPnP never kicks in, I always get a 'nat error'. I know that there is nothing wrong with my router because when I start up Azureus UPnP kicks in every time. Anyone got any suggestions on how to get it working with uTorrent?

Ultima Posted December 18, 2005 Report Share Posted December 18, 2005 Hm... have you tried reading the FAQs entry for "What does NAT Error mean?" Might be worth a look (if you haven't already). I'm not sure if it'll help, but if it doesn't, report back here and you'll get further assistance. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scoobie Posted December 18, 2005 Author Report Share Posted December 18, 2005 Having a read through it, but cant find anything useful. I would of thought if Azureus is working fine with my router/UPnP then the problem lies with uTorrent? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Firon Posted December 18, 2005 Report Share Posted December 18, 2005 UPnP is very picky and unreliable. There's many cases where it'll work for some clients and not for others. Sometimes it'll work on BitComet, and no other client, sometimes it works on anything except BitComet. In fact, sometimes even the same model router will have some that work with UPnP and some that don't. D-Links have severe UPnP problems, Linksys routers are hit and miss (often works, often doesn't), SpeedStream... you name it. UPnP just plain sucks.You should just forward it yourself, it's not that hard. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have had a look myself, but im a little unsure on what to do. Any help would be really appreciated. EDIT - Sorted it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fuol Posted December 20, 2005 Report Share Posted December 20, 2005 I have the Netgear WGR614 and uTorrent doesnt seem to work with its uPnP. Like the OP Azureus works ok, as does bitcomet. The status bar reports uPnP(port) and sometimes tacks on the 'OK'. However the router management console (and the XP 'Internet Gateway' that gets discovered with SSDP) show that only a TCP port rule is being created ie. no UDP rule is created.Another strange thing is that the external port is the internal port + 1. eg internal port 31000 external port 31001. Not sure if this is by design.The may also be issues with the rule being removed on shutdown but I havent really tested this.Spose I should fire up ethereal and have a look at whats going on...According to the blog of the guy who recently did the Gaim uPnP code the hardest part was working around the various idiosyncrasies in different vendors/models uPnP implementations.So I have forwarded the ports although I think this is suboptimal. There two main benefits of uPnP for me are; not leaving a port open when you are not using the client, and that uPnP will automatically account for a change in a DHCP'ed address.

1c3d0g Posted December 21, 2005 Report Share Posted December 21, 2005 True. According to most people that have tested UPnP, it's a bit flaky to say the least. The best thing is to manually forward a port (for now). Hopefully when time allows, Ludde will be able to revise the implementation. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fuol Posted December 21, 2005 Report Share Posted December 21, 2005 Cool. Can provide ethereal traces for WGR614 if required. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
micromachine Posted December 28, 2005 Report Share Posted December 28, 2005 Yes indeed. I have a Netgear RP614 router and uPnP worked fine with Azureus. But utorrent gets a NAT error with the UPnP box checked so I have to manually forward a port. It works fine like that but I'd prefer UPnP. I assume this is a bug and hope it'll get fixed.
