etimbo Posted October 8, 2005 Report Share Posted October 8, 2005 Vurlix, in protest i shall attempt to move to another antivirus and firewall combo !Any recommendations for a windows platform? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vurlix Posted October 8, 2005 Report Share Posted October 8, 2005 The best firewall is no firewall. Seriously..Edit: this is my own personal opinion.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
winMX_67 Posted October 8, 2005 Report Share Posted October 8, 2005 I'm using Zonealarm, settings max global connections to 30 seemed to do the trick but it has a bad effect on the download speed. Since I'm behind a router anyway I've disabled Zonealarm until there is a fix. 8)Port foward in ZA. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
winMX_67 Posted October 8, 2005 Report Share Posted October 8, 2005 Looks like you are right vurlix.Even though i should be doing work Ive been watching whats happening when i get a select error.It will gradually pick up peers until it gets around 63 and then it will pop up with a select error and all speeds drop to zero. It then starts to drop off peers until it gets back down to around 50 and network ok comes back and speeds return. This pattern happens even when I have quit nod32 and my firewall (outpost).Ive set a max of 55 peers globally and it seems to be working fine now. Speed limited to some extent, but just fine.Put uTorrent in your exeption list in Nod32. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
etimbo Posted October 8, 2005 Report Share Posted October 8, 2005 Put uTorrent in your exeption list in Nod32.Still get the error... even with nod32 and outpost closed.EDIT: nope, definately isnt nod32, outpost nor peerguardian. I just rebooted after removing them all from startup from msconfig.I would suspect it being my router but i had the same problem on another system with a different router and connection.

tozz Posted October 8, 2005 Report Share Posted October 8, 2005 Got the same error, setting global connections to 30 solves it (and gives very low download speeds).Now let us find the common factor so that it can be eliminated OS: Windows XP Professional SP2 (with TCP/IP hack set to 1000 connections).Antivirus: NOD32 2.5Firewall: Agnitum Outpost 2.7.493.5421 (416) (uTorrent as a fully allowed application).Connection: static ip on a 100mbit line (2.5mb/s as best speed on a single torrent with another client).Using dual IP, one for internal network and one for external, puting the external in bind to ip field and same with report to tracker (just to be sure).

etimbo Posted October 8, 2005 Report Share Posted October 8, 2005 Mmmm, i share the same Antivirus and firewall, but as i said, still does it when they are both turned off.OS: Win XP Professional SP2Connection: Dynamic IP 512kB/s with external ip and port forwarded to internal ip.

vurlix Posted October 8, 2005 Report Share Posted October 8, 2005 I don't think it matters if you turn it off or not, as long as it's installed it will interfere.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tozz Posted October 8, 2005 Report Share Posted October 8, 2005 I don't think it matters if you turn it off or not, as long as it's installed it will interfere..Yeah, this is what I was thinking too, probably something get modified by either nod or outpost when installing, and it'll be there as long as the software is installed (perhaps even after).I'm gonna contact Eset (NOD developers) and see what I can get from them.

winMX_67 Posted October 8, 2005 Report Share Posted October 8, 2005 Did you TRY first to put it in your exeption list for nod32? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tozz Posted October 8, 2005 Report Share Posted October 8, 2005 Did you TRY first to put it in your exeption list for nod32?It's automaticly set to high compatiblity, but of course I disabled IMON and added uTorrent.exe to exclude list. Didn't help one bit (even disabled NOD32 completely). I believe it's Outpost that's causing it, everything points to it anyway. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pike Posted October 9, 2005 Report Share Posted October 9, 2005 30 did the trick here also..I've raised the # of tcp sockets significantly, no prioer client (BC/AZ) has had these issues NO FIREWALL, except SPI in router (netgear)NOD32, but I have no ability to add utorrent to any exceptions edit: but it's still much much slower than both BC / AZ, maybe due to the 30 restriction ?also for some reason a torrent from Filelist won't start, 888 peers and 0 connected Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tozz Posted October 9, 2005 Report Share Posted October 9, 2005 Then we can pretty much assume it's NOD32 that's causing the errors, you haven't had any firewalls installed previously either?It'll be slow(er) when lowering the amount of connections, unless you get lucky and get connected to 30 fast ones.EDIT:Confirmed it's NOD32 that's causing the errors. Did a uninstall and tada... no errors anymore (got one NAT error wich is strange considering i don't run a NAT ip exept for secondary and it doesn't have internet access).It's a bit hard to give up NOD, gonna see if it can be installed and not run as a service, just to have the on-demand scanner.

vurlix Posted October 9, 2005 Report Share Posted October 9, 2005 Select error is no longer a problem in 1.1.4. You can keep your NOD32... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tozz Posted October 9, 2005 Report Share Posted October 9, 2005 Yeah, that's all good, but still, it annyos me that ESET has fuck*d up their software. Nice you found a work-around though Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pike Posted October 9, 2005 Report Share Posted October 9, 2005 Then I must ask, is there a beta of 1.1.4 ?Because my traffic / speed is 1/100 of it's usual self, or I must reinstall another client until the glorious almighty 1.1.4 reaches us TIA / pike Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tozz Posted October 9, 2005 Report Share Posted October 9, 2005 After some contact with ESET I found out it is possible to run NOD32 right now too. You have to disable IMON completely (and add utorrent.exe to AMON exlude list just to be sure). After disabling IMON (everything, not just a couple of options) reboot your system. I now have over 150 connections with no errors at all and with NOD32 running in the background.You do loose out on the HTTP scanning but it's not that important anyway Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've also disabled EMON, dunno if that could relate. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pike Posted October 9, 2005 Report Share Posted October 9, 2005 well, the IMON icon is red now, so I think it's disabled ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tozz Posted October 10, 2005 Report Share Posted October 10, 2005 well, the IMON icon is red now, so I think it's disabled ?Ah, no, actually it's not. Same error for me. It should be gray when truly disabled I got it gray after reinstalling nod and disabling IMON from the setup program. :shock: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pike Posted October 10, 2005 Report Share Posted October 10, 2005 Madness. Well, I'll wait 1-2 days for 1.1.4 and hope that fixes the issues, if not I'll have to go back to other clients Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
