cdgualtieri Posted February 2, 2009 Report Share Posted February 2, 2009 I have just started trying to use utorrent and I haven't been able to get it to work right, yet. Here are specs:I'm using Windows VistaUsing utorrent 1.8.1Using DSL internet When I add the torrent to the download list in utorrent, I get the yellow triangle saying that I have no incoming connections. I have seen the green check mark once. In the last hour, it has only downloaded 0.2% of the 1.04 GB. In the tracker tab, I have the following:DHT - working - - 0 Seeds - 8 Peers - 0 DownloadLocal Peer Disc. - working - - 0 seeds - 0 peers - 0 downloadPeer Exchange - working - - 0 seeds - 1 peers - 0 downloadhttp://www.torrentsnipe.info..... - offline (timed out) 28 m - 0 seeds - 0 peers - 0 downloadsAny help or suggestions appreciated.

cdgualtieri Posted February 2, 2009 Author Report Share Posted February 2, 2009 No seeds on the torrent I'm trying to download.I don't know if my port is forwarded or if I have a static IP. How do I find out? I'm really so new to this. Thanks for your help. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stitchdup Posted February 2, 2009 Report Share Posted February 2, 2009 if ther are no seeds then no-one has the file your after or they have there pc turned off,(if there is no bread in the store,you cant buy any)try options then speed guide,set up your connection speed remembering you are only setting the upload speed,,ie xx/512k the xx is download speed whereas the number is your upload speed,test to see if port is forwarded and run a speed test to find your upload rate,there are maney port forwarding/static ip guides on the net,go to the speed guide all the info will be there,also ensure your port is at the high 4xxxx to mid 5xxxxhope this helps a bit Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
moogly Posted February 2, 2009 Report Share Posted February 2, 2009 Ok if you have a router, go to its manager page and forward a port. Try Google to find the manual and access to router manager.For info, use ipconfig /all (run cmd in Vista).In addition test uT with OO torrent (e.g Windows/OO 3.0.1/English), its well seeded and better to test: http://distribution.openoffice.org/p2p/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
