Vista/Verizon DSL problems???

[Auguss]

I downloaded utorrent set up portforwarding manually with the DSL router/cable modem.

I ensured utorrent was on and active on the firewall exceptions

I ensured UPnP service was running on windows

I ensured UPnP was on the windows firewall exceptions

I even let utorrent set up portforwarding

It does receive the toredo address with ipv6

it does contact all the trackers and get available peers

it will NOT connect to the peers to download from them

it does NOT connect to DHT service

I did uncap windows vista max TCP/Syn connections already

Would it be possible my Service Provider/IP is on a blocklist?

im usually pretty good at solving problems with this type.

i still cannot connect to download anything. im getting really frusterated.

"I did uncap windows vista max TCP/Syn connections already"

Do you mean the TCP half open connection limit?

If you don't set net.max_halfopen higher than 8...hacking that limit higher isn't necessary.

Disable both kinds of DHT and also disable Resolve IPs.

Does the OpenOffice test torrent mentioned in the 1st link in my signature download ok and at reasonable speeds?

(It is KNOWN to have very fast seeds.)

If OpenOffice downloads fast, your current torrents either lack seeds/peers...or your trackers are "bad".

Your ISP is VERY unlikely to be on a blocklist. Also adding a blocklist wouldn't help you.

What messages are you getting in uTorrent's Logger window concerning connections it's attempting to make?

yes the half open is set to 100 on my computer and i set utorrent to 80 max.halfopen.

do not have open office on my computer.

This is a fresh install of utorrent and downloaded a torrent that has 500+ seeds and 230+ peers

I know running a blocklist wont help me i was asking if a major list somewhere had verizon customers on a block.

Here is my initial startup logs

[2009-01-17 13:27:52] IPv6 is installed

[2009-01-17 13:27:56] UPnP: Could not map UPnP Port on this pass, retrying.

[2009-01-17 13:28:01] UPnP: Could not map UPnP Port on this pass, retrying.

[2009-01-17 13:28:04] NAT-PMP: Unable to map port with NAT-PMP.

[2009-01-17 13:28:06] UPnP: Could not map UPnP Port on this pass, retrying.

[2009-01-17 13:28:11] UPnP: Unable to map port 192.168.*.*:35791 with UPnP.

i manualy set up port forwarding on 35791

uPnP has been allowed in windows firewall exceptions and service is running.

i enabled NAT-PMP just to show you that also during initial start.

I have the ProLine DSL Modem given to us by Verizon

Set the half-open back to 8.

i tried that already. but i dont see that would be solving the problem of me not being able to connect to others.
