Raan Posted September 22, 2005 Report Share Posted September 22, 2005 µTorrent reports a "NAT error" but I don't know why or if it has any impact on my downloads. I haven't reached very high speeds with this client, but that's probably just the torrents so far. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vurlix Posted September 22, 2005 Report Share Posted September 22, 2005 NAT error indicates that there was a failure communicating with the NAT device on your network. Two things can explain this:1) You are connected directly to the internet (and the error message can be ignored)2) Your router is not UPnP compatible, in which case you will have to manually configure it to allow incoming connections to the port configured for use by µTorrent in the settings dialog.In either case, transfer speeds will suffer if peers are unable to reach µTorrent remotely.

Raan Posted September 22, 2005 Author Report Share Posted September 22, 2005 I see. My router is in fact UPnP compatible, but the function is disabled. The incoming port is forwarded to this machine though. But I'll turn on UPnP and see if I gain speed on that. Thanks for your help. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vurlix Posted September 22, 2005 Report Share Posted September 22, 2005 The error does not necessarily indicate a problem. It only indicates NAT auto-configuration status. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

vurlix Posted September 22, 2005 Report Share Posted September 22, 2005 This is how µTorrent behaves in detail: · If UPnP is enabled in the settings and a port was successfully acquired, it displays "UPnP(port)". If incoming connections were successfully made on the UPnP port, it appends "OK" to this indicator. · If UPnP is disabled or no UPnP port was acquired, it displays NAT error if no incoming connections were established but outgoing connections are working fine. · If incoming and outgoing connections seem to be working properly, it displays "Network OK"Therefore "NAT Error" indicates that remote peers may not be able reach you, and ".. OK" incates that incoming/outgoing connections are working. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Raan Posted September 22, 2005 Author Report Share Posted September 22, 2005 Well, it seems to display "NAT error" whether I have UPnP enabled or not, yet I reach download speeds of about 50Kbps (I have an 8Mb line but like I said before, these are slow torrents in themselves) and I've had no problem with clients (lacking NAT traversal) before. I use the same forwarded port as I did then and all. It doesn't really seem to be a problem, it just strikes me as odd, since, for example, BitTornado could accept incoming connections without problems.

vurlix Posted September 25, 2005 Report Share Posted September 25, 2005 NAT Error means that remote peers do not seem to be able to connect to you, but you are connecting to remote peers just fine. A firewall or router might not letting incoming connections reach µTorrent. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted September 25, 2005 Report Share Posted September 25, 2005 hm...I aslo have this problem, but the speeds are normal i think.Its hard to compare with azureus, but sometimes speeds are very low.I think the problem is in NAT error and i have no idea how to fix it.
