paskee Posted April 12, 2009 Report Share Posted April 12, 2009 On your router, you need to open a port for uTorrent.You will need your IP address and the Incoming TCP Port uTorrent is using (uTorrent->Preferences->Network), my port is set to 25556.On my linksys there's a section Port Range Forward in Application and Gaming, just enter the required info (my starting/ending port are now set to 25556 + the IP of my MacBook) and enable it. It did the trick for me and now uTorrent is downloading again.If you randomize the port on launch or you may have to do it every time you restart uTorrent.

randy0242 Posted April 15, 2009 Report Share Posted April 15, 2009 Same problem, no connection light and no downloads/uploads...my Linksys router port is forwarded correctly. build 14940 does not connect or download any torrents. I am also using port 25556.I went back to build 13906 and all torrents started downloading. And the green connection light is on. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alphadan Posted April 15, 2009 Report Share Posted April 15, 2009 I'm having the same problem, and I'm pretty sure it has nothing to do with needing to forward ports. At home, it goes just fine through a much more complex network (ATT DSL to Apple Airport Extreme to Apple Time Capsule to wired switch to system) and works just fine. At my girlfriends (Comcast to Linksys wireless) it doesn't work at all (OSX 10.5.6). Quite frustrating. Transmission BT works fine, so I think it really is just the uTorrent app that's the problem.

Siddhartha Posted April 15, 2009 Report Share Posted April 15, 2009 @alphadan: It may has something to do with Mac`s firewall settings which are different at the two Mac`s. @akaliza: don`t mix your internal IP`s with those you have on the net. Nearly every router has the internal IP 192.168.X.X. So every computer on you LAN can access the router at this address. Your computer has 192.168.x.100 as your internal IP, which is given by your router (or manually selected at your router`s preferences). It`s the RFC`s standard. The IP you get is your "real" IP, which can be used to locate you by your ISP.Sometimes a restart of uT helps, sometimes not. I got the gray light when no torrent is active or uT started just seconds ago. I got the red light, when uT automatically set the port to "0". Then the earlier port isn`s yet released by the system -> you have to use another port. It`s yellow, when the firewall or any other system blocks uT (the port). No incomming/outgoing connections with the new uT version: checked the old .dat files? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
randy0242 Posted April 17, 2009 Report Share Posted April 17, 2009 Ok, so it worked the other day and now tonight, no connection again. The port has not changed, my laptop's IP has not changed, the router config has not changed.If I launch xTorrent client, it works just fine...Ideas?

ShadowFoxBiH Posted August 3, 2009 Report Share Posted August 3, 2009 ok people Mac OS X 10.5 has a built in firewall if you got to System Preferences and hit Security there should be a firewall tab if you click on it and hit allow incoming connections you should be fine I had the same problem earlier this fixed it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
