:( I'm sorry for asking for more help

[tiimmay]

I've searched through here, unsure of which keywords to use to find this info.

I'm very sorry for being another person registering and asking for help. Seriously.

Anyways, I'll get to the point. When in safe mode with networking I can get my port forwarded and I get the green at the bottom. Under normal functionality I get an error for my port. I'm running XP SP2, utorrent 1.8 and nod32 is my AV software. I have Windows Firewall disabled.

Thank you for any/all help you can offer. This is very frustrating.

[The_Nephilim]

If that is Nortons that could bve your Problem Does it have a worm Blocker?? Try uninstalling it and try to Test your Ports then.

Are you behind a router ?? Did you setup Port forwarding??

[tiimmay]

yeah, the port forwarding works fine when in safe mode, so it's definitely a software issue that's interfering. Where do you see Norton?

O23 - Service: ipfw_helper (ipfw) - Unknown owner - C:\Program Files\wipfw\bin\ipfw.exe

Looks like it's that.

[tiimmay]

yay! I'm in the green!

boo! I'm still maxing at a speed of 2 kb/s. I already tried adjusting my speed based on my connection type to match what is suggested on here. I can upload decently (a torrent I'm grabbing, I'm upping at 40 kb/s but I'm not downloading any faster than 2 kb/s).

Any final pieces of help available? I feel greedy asking for more help after the good fortune you've already provided me with.

[Switeck]

You're on Rogers Cable ISP...I'm sorry.

They disrupt BitTorrent traffic and even unknown encrypted traffic almost any way they can.

Disabling DHT may help...marginally.

2nd link in my signature...if you're able to upload 40 KiloBYTES/second ok, then you probably need around the 384 or 448 kilobits/second upload settings.

[tiimmay]

interestingly, my housemates can get speeds of over 200 kilobytes down, so it has to be my settings. Also, I already used your 2nd link to adjust my settings to be the exact ones that I should be running, thanks!

I'm not sure why they can torrent, and I can't though. Weird...
