Firon Posted January 6, 2006 Report Share Posted January 6, 2006 µTorrent doesn't use ports 6881-6889, and try reading the other stickies in this subforumhttp://forum.utorrent.com/viewtopic.php?id=2000 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
1c3d0g Posted January 6, 2006 Report Share Posted January 6, 2006 Visited your german friend but ive no win XP cd (copy is legal but cd didnt come wiv PC)You don't need a CD Key to perform the patch operation. And no, your download speeds are very slow, something's definitely wrong with it. 1.) I'm not sure if NTLworld is messing up your BitTorrent experience, but if you think/know this is the case (most likely it is), turn peer.lazy_bitfield to *true;2.) You have Network OK, but you probably have a firewall somewhere which is stealthing your port. Add µTorrent as the exception (sorry I can't be specific as this varies widely between products);3.) I still feel that your ISP may be to blame...have other people with the same ISP told you of any similar experience? Alternatively, you may want to try another client to see if you get better speeds, if this is not the case, then most likely your ISP is interfering with your BitTorrent traffic. :/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
