aerogurl Posted February 3, 2009 Report Share Posted February 3, 2009 I have been using utorrent for years and love it.. I have never had a problem. I use version 1.6 because its always worked best for me. I have had my ports forwarded for a long while, do not use zone alarm, peer guardian or anything like that, just avg free. I am getting Seeds: 0 of 0 connected, Peers: 0 of 4345 as example. The problem only started yesterday. One file I have been downloading for a few days (5gb) is almost done and occasionally it will download or upload, but no other torrents. Some of the trackers are working, some are offline, but this is normal.. I tried out a private tracker, downloaded torrents that normally FLY and they wouldn't even download, even though the tracker was online and others were having no problems pulling top speeds off the torrent. I have vista, have my wireless router connected to a desktop pc, I am on a laptop. Below are caps of what you might need to know, if you need more info just ask... please help. thanks. (from desktop computer)just downloaded Deluge and torrents are working normally. it IS a utorrent problem. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DreadWingKnight Posted February 3, 2009 Report Share Posted February 3, 2009 I see a red status icon. I also see a dynamic IP with a linksys router (which doesn't work right).Hover over the red network status icon and get us the message. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aerogurl Posted February 3, 2009 Author Report Share Posted February 3, 2009 The Deluge I mentioned earlier is getting CRAP speeds. so... there is still a problem period, not just with utorrent. I have not changed any router settings, so whatever happened just happened... cause its been working fine like this for a long time. Notice my nodes. I did figure out something. When I took the first cap below I had it on port 50502 and the status was YELLOW, I changed the port to 50503 in the second cap and it turned RED! I have both those ports forwarded... and I know its .100 - I use VNC to check my number... Thanks for your help DreadWingKinight Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
moogly Posted February 3, 2009 Report Share Posted February 3, 2009 And upgrade your client. 1.6 is really too old and unsafe about security. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Switeck Posted February 3, 2009 Report Share Posted February 3, 2009 2nd link in my signature as well...default settings for uTorrent won't work great with your line.You probably need 448 kilobit/second upload settings instead.Worse, Charter may be disrupting BitTorrent traffic -- I haven't been able to confirm this.

aerogurl Posted February 3, 2009 Author Report Share Posted February 3, 2009 I fixed it. I picked a random port, forwarded it like I did the others and the green check came right on. I do have a question.... it seems that when I upgraded from 1.6 before I could not connect, or there was a big problem.. Can you give me pros and cons of updating?

Switeck Posted February 3, 2009 Report Share Posted February 3, 2009 Your software firewall and/or antivirus software may have thought the new uTorrent version was "corrupted" or infected, because it was changed from the old. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
