joelukeo Posted January 1, 2009 Report Share Posted January 1, 2009 I am in Dubai using etisalat, everything is working fine for me now. its just that utorrent took long long time (the whole day) to connect to the nodes now i am downlaoding at full speeds. Try to connct with torrents with lots of seeds & leeches. I think torrent downloads are not blocked its just a high server latency or something... sorry I dont know much technically Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
anoopcosmos Posted January 2, 2009 Report Share Posted January 2, 2009 I am able to downlod, but utorrent to conntecting to hardly 1 seed and 1 peer or sometimes connecting to only 1 peer.After launching utorrent it is taking long time to connect to any peer or seed.When it is getting peer or seed it is downloading at speed of only 5 to 6 kb/sec, not more than this.Is others are observing same in uae?Anoop Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hakata07 Posted January 2, 2009 Report Share Posted January 2, 2009 ^ it's also the same for me. most trackers on a very well seeded torrent are offline but some are working, and yes peer exchange is a great help. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hbk300 Posted January 2, 2009 Report Share Posted January 2, 2009 I tried with 3g modem n start utorrent with it when downloading start , simply diconnet tht modem n use my normal connection, for me its working good now ... tc Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jrs Posted January 3, 2009 Report Share Posted January 3, 2009 Hi. I can connect and get download speeds of about 20 kB/s. I have tried to forward a port from my router (DLINK DSLG604T), but each time it doesn't work. I know how to set up the port forwarding, but it shows that the port is closed by Etisalat. Which ports do you use for forwarding? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hakata07 Posted January 4, 2009 Report Share Posted January 4, 2009 awesome temoo007! way better than my own work around, works like a charm! thanx a bunch. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ex-Opesa Posted January 4, 2009 Report Share Posted January 4, 2009 Oh, my friend also told me this, its working fine! I was going to post it here but temoo007 did it already! Youtube also works, okay everything fine!Cheers!@Anoop: If you use private trackers then don't enable DHT if public like mininova, pirate bay, then you can.I use private trackers so no speed problems for me. Also guys, why not direct connection works? :|I don't think its possible to forward ports on proxy :|I just want to have the green ticked mark on utorrent, i have done port forward, still its yellow because of the proxy. :| Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zuler Posted January 4, 2009 Report Share Posted January 4, 2009 I tried this but none of my torrents have started to download.For all the trackers it says proxy connect error:hostname not found or proxy connect error:offline(timed out).Any ideas ??

anoopcosmos Posted January 4, 2009 Report Share Posted January 4, 2009 teamoo007,I am able to download, but traingle shown in status bar is yellow.So I was thinking that something is wrong but i read in post of other users that they have also yellow traingle.Might be due to proxy server.I am able to download at the speed of between 15kb/s to 25kb/s.I am not sure how can i increase this....How much maximu speed i can get with connection of 256kbps ? please let me know.Anoop Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
