thelittlefire Posted November 1, 2008 Report Share Posted November 1, 2008 Easier way to get at the help, with uTorrent open and active, press F1. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
drragostea Posted November 2, 2008 Author Report Share Posted November 2, 2008 Sorry, erm. Not sure if it is included, but I'm not sure where I can find the information, like where it is located. Can you point it out? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
moogly Posted November 2, 2008 Report Share Posted November 2, 2008 uT help file (zip) is saved in AppData folder. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
drragostea Posted November 2, 2008 Author Report Share Posted November 2, 2008 Thanks Moogly, but I meant the specific section of which my query is located. I just wanted to know what UPnP port mapping is and what do they do. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
schnurlos Posted November 3, 2008 Report Share Posted November 3, 2008 Have a look on my 3rd link ... and for UPnP in general have a look here http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Universal_Plug_and_Play Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
drragostea Posted November 3, 2008 Author Report Share Posted November 3, 2008 schnurlos, so to put it in other words, UPnP mapping is just to locate people who have the function enabled?-The links are in German O.o. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DreadWingKnight Posted November 3, 2008 Report Share Posted November 3, 2008 schnurlos, so to put it in other words, UPnP mapping is just to locate people who have the function enabled?Wrong.UPnP is to enable port forwarding from the application level instead of from the router level.

drragostea Posted November 4, 2008 Author Report Share Posted November 4, 2008 Would that be an advantage sir? So basically, we do not have to go through all that trouble of manually port-forwarding via the router, instead we can use the UPnP feature?

Ultima Posted November 4, 2008 Report Share Posted November 4, 2008 Yes, basically. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
drragostea Posted November 4, 2008 Author Report Share Posted November 4, 2008 Thanks Ultima. But that also leads me to wonder if the UPnP function is enabled, then you can randomize the port during each start. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Firon Posted November 5, 2008 Report Share Posted November 5, 2008 You can, if UPnP works on your router. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ultima Posted November 5, 2008 Report Share Posted November 5, 2008 Indeed, port randomization should really only be used if you know that whatever port µTorrent decides to use will definitely be forwarded. That'd basically narrow the choices down to UPnP/NAT-PMP, DMZ mode from the router, or just having no NAT. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
drragostea Posted November 5, 2008 Author Report Share Posted November 5, 2008 I see. Thank you Firon and Ultima for the information.Can I assume that, there wouldn't really be any difference between configuring Port Forward manually and using uTorrent's random port function?

drragostea Posted November 5, 2008 Author Report Share Posted November 5, 2008 I understand. Thanks Firon, schnurlos.Just one more thing, when I port forward manually on my modem, do you enter the same port number from both UDP and TCP? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
moogly Posted November 5, 2008 Report Share Posted November 5, 2008 Yep same port. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
