malcoholm Posted January 24, 2006 Report Share Posted January 24, 2006 I have been running uTorrent at work for a while now, and it has been great in every way, straight out of the box.As soon as I updated to the latest version however (which it asked me to do automatically), I have not been able to download or upload anything through uTorrent.Because I am at work, I do not have access to port forwarding. Due to the fact it always used to work before I upgraded, I was wondering if I am able to downgrade, or fix some known setting which may have changed during the upgrade?I am running:WinXP SP2 with the firewall turned offNorton 2003 (Version 9.05.15) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Firon Posted January 24, 2006 Report Share Posted January 24, 2006 Are there any other firewalls? Does it say Listen error in the status bar? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dAbReAkA Posted January 24, 2006 Report Share Posted January 24, 2006 from which version did u upgrade from? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
malcoholm Posted January 24, 2006 Author Report Share Posted January 24, 2006 Cheers for the quick reply!No, there is no listen error displayed anywhere. Below is what is in my status bar:DHT: 251 peers (Updating) | D: 0.0 kB/s (total: 407.8 kB) | U: 0.0 kB/s (total: 346.1 kB)Every now and then the D: number and U: number will change to 0.1, or 0.3 but change back quickly.All my download and upload icons have a red circle with horizontal white bar through them. I don't know how the network servers are set up here, but I am sure there would be firewalls. My machine authenticates through a domain on a linux server. It's just a bit weird how the old version would work Ok. Perhaps the old version was running on a port which was open... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
malcoholm Posted January 24, 2006 Author Report Share Posted January 24, 2006 I am unsure which version I upgraded from. I have been doing the upgrades automatically as they become available, and I use uTorrent frequently. So seeing my current version is 1.4, I can only assume I was running 1.3 before the upgrade.Cheers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dAbReAkA Posted January 24, 2006 Report Share Posted January 24, 2006 maybe it's because of the connecting methodi'm not sure in which version it was changed from normal to round-robin there is a request for an option to choose from between those 2 methods so u could use the latest version with the older methodnow u could only wait for it to be implemented and use the newest (if that's gonna happen) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Firon Posted January 24, 2006 Report Share Posted January 24, 2006 So, DHT is working.http://www.utorrent.com/faq.php#What_does_the_no_entry_symbol_mean_on_the_torrent_status_icons.3FI think it may not be you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
malcoholm Posted January 24, 2006 Author Report Share Posted January 24, 2006 Firon - Thanks for the tip, but I still think it's a problem on my end. One of the torrents is about 50% downloaded, and was running fine before the upgrade. After the upgrade, there is no life whatsoever.dAbReAkA - Cheers for that. Before a new version might be released with that feature (which might take a few months), is it possible to perhaps patch my current version?

Firon Posted January 24, 2006 Report Share Posted January 24, 2006 What does the tracker status say?dAbReAkA: that has nothing to do with it, and ludde already said it's not possible to do. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
malcoholm Posted January 24, 2006 Author Report Share Posted January 24, 2006 The tracker status on all torrents says 'offline (timed out)', although all the DHT status' say (got xx peers) at the end. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Firon Posted January 24, 2006 Report Share Posted January 24, 2006 Well, that may mean the tracker is indeed down. Try running a torrent like http://distribution.openoffice.org/p2p/ to make sure it's not you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Firon Posted January 24, 2006 Report Share Posted January 24, 2006 Hmm, then it sounds like something is blocking tracker URLs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
