KaMaKaZi_KiNg Posted February 8, 2009 Report Share Posted February 8, 2009 Hi all,I am having a problem with uTorrent at the moment, where the torrent downloads for a few minutes at full speed then drops to a few kB/s but when I clear the peer list and reset the bans on the torrent it goes back up to full speed.Also I have port forwarding working correctly.I don't know what could be causing this. Any help would be greatly appreciated.Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
moogly Posted February 8, 2009 Report Share Posted February 8, 2009 Did you ban your own IP or IP range from your subnet? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Switeck Posted February 9, 2009 Report Share Posted February 9, 2009 It might work better if the router's LAN ip range was added to ipfilter.dat ALONG WITH your internet ip address. Just something crazy to try. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KaMaKaZi_KiNg Posted February 9, 2009 Author Report Share Posted February 9, 2009 sorry but I'm kinda new to this. Where would I find out if I have blocked my IP and Subnet and where would I find the ipfilter.dat file? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
moogly Posted February 9, 2009 Report Share Posted February 9, 2009 If you don't have the use of ipfilter.dat in uTorrent, don't use it, it's not an obligation.ipfilter.dat is saved in folder %appdata%\utorrent. Open it with notepad and check if your IP is not included in a blocked IP range.Or simplier, delete ipfilter.dat. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KaMaKaZi_KiNg Posted February 9, 2009 Author Report Share Posted February 9, 2009 I don't seem to have an ipfilter.dat file in that location. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Switeck Posted February 10, 2009 Report Share Posted February 10, 2009 For whatever reason, I've seen uTorrent making repeated attempts to connect to my LAN ip and internet ip. Were it to finally auto-ban them, fine...but it seems to never do so -- as it continues retrying them for days.That's why I added my LAN ip range AND internet ip to ipfilter.datIf ipfilter.dat does not exist, create it!

KaMaKaZi_KiNg Posted February 10, 2009 Author Report Share Posted February 10, 2009 does the file need a particular content or will utorrent create it itself? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
moogly Posted February 10, 2009 Report Share Posted February 10, 2009 You need to create yourself the file and add IPs to block. Then load the filter in uT by right clicking in Peer tab. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
