just Posted August 19, 2008 Report Share Posted August 19, 2008 howdy. I know this is ridiculously complicated to guess at, but if anyone can help i would very much appreciate it.I run uTorrent on a virtual winXP machine through parallels on a mac (leopard). im also on a NAT-enabled LAN. everything was working very well until I upgraded to uTorrent 1.8. i also upgraded parallels that day. ever since then it has been down. If anyone knows about this sort of thing PLEASE HELPi have:configured port forwarding on the NAT. checked that everything is set to the same port.checked that the virtual machine's IP is static and right.enabled encrypting (although i know my ISP isnt throttling.)disabled nat-pmp, dht and upnp.what else is there?

Firon Posted August 20, 2008 Report Share Posted August 20, 2008 What issue are you having exactly? Do trackers fail to update? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
just Posted August 20, 2008 Author Report Share Posted August 20, 2008 that looks like it - they're all timing out. is that a common issue with 1.8?thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thelittlefire Posted August 21, 2008 Report Share Posted August 21, 2008 It's common for people who change their net.max_halfopen or modify tcpip.sysI'm assuming you don't have any security software installed on that instance since it IS virtual Windows?

just Posted August 21, 2008 Author Report Share Posted August 21, 2008 yup, no security software. i havent manually edited either of those.im going to reinstall 7.7 to see if it works. if it does, then the issue has to be with uorrent 1.8 (as opposed to some wierd parallels setting)UPDATE: the reinstall hasn't helped. ive posted to the paralels forum, but any suggestions are still very much welcome.

thelittlefire Posted August 22, 2008 Report Share Posted August 22, 2008 Yeah, I too suffer this mac-ness I however have VMWare Fusion, (many a failed bootcamp later, crashing on setupdd.sys during setup) which tends to run (slower by 15%) pretty well. So I don't know what actual difference in practice Parallels creates. Though since I bridge the connection, sometimes I have to disable the airport and re-enable it when I get "hiccups" in my XP. Did you go through the standard windows networking... doublechecking its settings aren't FUBAR, that the LSP wasn't messed with? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
just Posted August 22, 2008 Author Report Share Posted August 22, 2008 alright folks its working again. turns out my step-brother upgraded our connection and our old isp blocked p2p traffic when he phoned to switch.thanks for your help though, i'll torture him for information before I ask for help again.
