nitem4re Posted March 21, 2008 Report Share Posted March 21, 2008 I've set up my port the way portforward said to with my router but to no avail. I can't get any of the torrents to start downloading. at the bottom of the screen it says DHT:waiting to log in and it never does. any help?

jewelisheaven Posted March 21, 2008 Report Share Posted March 21, 2008 DHT troubles are a sign of not forwarding the UDP port. TCP is fine for peers but UDP is necessary for that.Have you tried http://www.slackware.com/torrents/ What behaviour do you see on that? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nitem4re Posted March 21, 2008 Author Report Share Posted March 21, 2008 The same thing happens so I'm guessing your theory about the UDP is right. How do you find the UDP port and how do you forward it?(thanks for the helpt btw:) ) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jewelisheaven Posted March 21, 2008 Report Share Posted March 21, 2008 The same port is used for UDP as your TCP rule. So if your router has an option "TCP" "UDP" or "BOTH" choose both.Otherwise make a new rule for the same settings, but on UDP So you're saying that nothing happens on the slackware torrent??? Is there a Status column error? What about the Tracker Status on the General tab? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nitem4re Posted March 21, 2008 Author Report Share Posted March 21, 2008 even after i tried to do what you said that port checker still says my port isnt openedthis is what it looks like when i start that d/l:http://img255.imageshack.us/img255/9068/startsoutlikethisiy7.jpgthis is what it looks like afterwards:http://img179.imageshack.us/img179/1307/endsuplikethisud6.jpgi just can't seem to get anything to work :/also, if it helps any i connect to my linksys wrt54gs through a wirless network adapter(linksys wusb54gsc) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jewelisheaven Posted March 21, 2008 Report Share Posted March 21, 2008 Yes that is relevant unless it just connects you to your router? Is the 54G the only network hardware you have between you and your ISP?The "Tracker Status" message on the General tab would be useful instead of the logger tab, but c'est la vie.Additionally, any security software you have including windows firewall needs to make the UDP exception as well.

nitem4re Posted March 21, 2008 Author Report Share Posted March 21, 2008 yea it is the only hardware i have between me and my ISP the WRT54GS is the actual router and the WUSB54GSC is the usb hub that connects me to the router wirelessly.Here is a picture of my firewall settings(the port # has been changed for obvious reasons)http://img231.imageshack.us/img231/9761/firewallxp9.jpgHere is the tracker status tab you asked for:http://img89.imageshack.us/img89/3603/75668923rd0.jpgand here is the setup on my router(port # again changed):http://img389.imageshack.us/img389/3904/wrt54gsbb5.jpg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jewelisheaven Posted March 21, 2008 Report Share Posted March 21, 2008 That's the rub You receive incoming connections just fine on your port, BUT you must specify the outbound port under Ctrl-P -> Advanced if you don't allow uT access to go out between 1024 and 5120I think that's the only change that's needed Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nitem4re Posted March 21, 2008 Author Report Share Posted March 21, 2008 can you put up an image of where exactly i need to put that inbformation? because i can't really find it :/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jewelisheaven Posted March 21, 2008 Report Share Posted March 21, 2008 For the outbound ports for TCP it either needs to be in the larger range of 1024-5120 OR specify the port range YOU WISH it to use and then mirror that on Ctrl-P -> Advanced -> net.outgoing_port and net.outgoing_max_portUDP opens on the incoming port, an additional port I think related to the listening port and 6771 on all my instances I have running.In my honest opinion I would check to see if you can just whitelist C:\Program Files\utorrent\utorrent.exe and allow all traffic.... but those changes should get you going almost immediately. Doesn't your mcafee tell you there's traffic trying to go out on multiple ports between 1024 and 5120 from utorrent.exe? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nitem4re Posted March 21, 2008 Author Report Share Posted March 21, 2008 It asked me once and i granted it full access, so i dunno.here is what i put in and still it wont download that slack warehttp://img90.imageshack.us/img90/4157/42717665fv8.jpgoh and i did put the port on both the outgoing max and outgoing its just not shown in the pic Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jewelisheaven Posted March 21, 2008 Report Share Posted March 21, 2008 Outgoing ports I don't think can be the same as your inbound port... or maybe they can. Set a wide range first. Be sure you changed the range in your McAfee rules. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jewelisheaven Posted March 22, 2008 Report Share Posted March 22, 2008 Don't keep on setting those FULL ranges in McAfee. For inbound connections you ONLY need on your uT listening port. IF YOU CHOOSE to bind ports, (which you shouldn't until it at least works) THOSE NUMBERS belong in the OUTBOUND part of the rule.What other settings did you change in uT? There is a place where you can override your IP sent to trackers which may be causing trouble. Additionally if you changed net.bind_ip that could be causing trouble.

nitem4re Posted March 24, 2008 Author Report Share Posted March 24, 2008 I am pretty sure that i didn't change any of the other settings...umm holy bejeesus its working now...i just enabled encryption and changed the tcp and udp ports....now the only problem is my upload speed is horrible. and it still says im not getting any incoming connections. any idea on how to fix either of those things???

jewelisheaven Posted March 24, 2008 Report Share Posted March 24, 2008 You can still get peers without forwarding.... wait, you got peers through with that port setting?!? So did you firm up the inbound rule or expand the outgoing rule?There's always the possibility of connecting to peers if THEY are forwarded no matter your forwarding state. You'll see that without an "I" in the Peer Flags column on the Peers tab. To get incoming peers you will still need to setup the rules for the firewall correctly. I'd honestly try it WITHOUT forcing uT to use outgoing ports. It's an advanced setting for a reason. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nitem4re Posted March 24, 2008 Author Report Share Posted March 24, 2008 Here are all of my settings as of this moment:Linksys:http://img525.imageshack.us/img525/2519/linksysev6.jpgMcAfee:http://img213.imageshack.us/img213/1275/mcafeelz5.jpgAdvnaced uT options:http://img86.imageshack.us/img86/1158/advancedopsfp4.jpgWhat my d/l looks like(take note of the tracker and the yellow exclamation):http://img212.imageshack.us/img212/7521/utorrentec3.jpgSo, knowing all of this, do you have any ideas on how to get rid of that pesky yellow exclamation?

Firon Posted March 24, 2008 Report Share Posted March 24, 2008 Are you sure .138 is your real IP? And doesn't your router have UPnP? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nitem4re Posted March 24, 2008 Author Report Share Posted March 24, 2008 Yes I'm sure i just checked with ipconfig /all in the command prompt. And I thought it had UPnP but that port forward guide said to turn it off, so I did. It's even in my program exceptions list for my firewall. But i ran a program once and it said it couldn't find any UPnP devices on the network so I dunno. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Firon Posted March 24, 2008 Report Share Posted March 24, 2008 It's easier to just turn it on and let µTorrent use it. Give it a shot. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nitem4re Posted March 26, 2008 Author Report Share Posted March 26, 2008 well, i cant do anything with it now, my isp temporarily shut off my internet for using utorrent, so i guess thats the end of that. =/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jewelisheaven Posted March 26, 2008 Report Share Posted March 26, 2008 They disconnected you for uT, or for excessive bandwidth usage?If they didn't provide a link or the actual AUP/FUP violation you may want to ask for it so you know what settings you'll have to limit yourself to... on this ISP or what to look for minimum specs for a new one.

nitem4re Posted March 26, 2008 Author Report Share Posted March 26, 2008 excessive bandwidth usage actually, but they said something to the extent of we are going to be watching you very carefully for a while. I've watched the program they use and it shows everything thats been d/led and all the site visited or hit. but, i did encrypt my data going in and out, so i dunno if they saw what i was really doing or not. what do you think i could do? cuz im kinda hesitant to do it again for the pure fact that they said they'd discontinue my service next time it happened.

jewelisheaven Posted March 26, 2008 Report Share Posted March 26, 2008 If they didn't tell you how it was excessive, I'd be apt to leave the ISP. However if your ISP is watching you.... I'd ask around truthfully. In the US there's what we call privacy laws. If you're not breaking any laws it's illegal to do so.Again I'd ask them what the limits on the connection if there's a specific place in your EULA which 1) allows them to disconnect you for bandwidth usage and 2) disconnect you for doing so.... If they don't provide you a link or even a personal telephone call I'd continue what you're doing. Download 1 Linux LiveCD a day http://www.slackware.com/torrents/This is all of course assuming the ISP is one of those pigopoly multinationals. If it's a smaller one they should give you what you ask for if you ask nicely Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
