Torrents hardly work..

[criscr0ss]

Everytime i download a torrent from a tracker it reads teh peers/seeds but it never connects (starts downloading) and when it does its low and after a while it just stops again, and it keep fluctuating from 0kb to 3kb to like 20 to 40 and back down and this is on and on... i mean so far out of 8 torrents (all leeching atm) none of have finished.

My settings are all defualt using 1.1.3

Any more details ? Firewall software, Router, Any "Select ERROR" in the status bar or anything of that sort ?

I bet you need to port foward.

A lot of people are having problems with 1.1.3 and torrents not working right... hopefully 1.1.4 will be better.

actually i do get the select error, it cannot be my ports because bitcomet / bittornado work great w/o any errors

using sygate personal pro and my ports are forwarded

Apparently most firewall software are defective. Yes, defective. They are not complying with the Winsock API. While µTorrent is definately not at fault, it exposes this problem because it uses certain features of the Winsock API that are typically not used. These special cases are incorrectly handled by popular firewall software. This will be "fixed" (worked around) in 1.1.4.

A PERFECT example of poor application testing and Devo. The firewalls cause problems for other programs which then must fix THEIR code, when there is nothign wrong with it, just to get it to work for every1.
