soviet123 Posted February 28, 2009 Report Share Posted February 28, 2009 So I downloaded uTorrent v1.8.2. There was a window when I started the program, I set the connection speed but ignored the port and started to download some stuff. At the bottom of the window there was a small yellow triangle that when I hover over it, il tells me that my network is not working properly while I am able to downloaded my things at very good speeds. So I double-clicked that and check my port. It gave me an error. I followed the instructions on portforward.com and succesfully forwarded my port (the triangle turned into a green ball) but I am not able to notice any difference. There is no change in speed, it didn't go any faster or slower, upload speed is also still the same. I disabled the port forwarding on my router, the green ball turned back into a yellow triangle but I am still able to download! Currently the port is forwarded but why should I do this if I don't notice any changes? I use a D-link DIR-615 router. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DreadWingKnight Posted February 28, 2009 Report Share Posted February 28, 2009 You did not notice any changes because the torrents you're connecting to are forgiving of not being connectable.I would highly recommend you re-enable the port forwarding so you will have more consistent results.

soviet123 Posted February 28, 2009 Author Report Share Posted February 28, 2009 Port IS CURRENTLY forwarded (if you've read my post THOROUGHLY). What is the difference between forwarded or not? That's what I want to do. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

soviet123 Posted February 28, 2009 Author Report Share Posted February 28, 2009 That was a quick responce, thanks.Um...I DO NOT have a firewall (only an anti-vurus, ESET, Windows Firewall disabled). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Switeck Posted March 1, 2009 Report Share Posted March 1, 2009 Not being forwarded would be the same as a software firewall blocking, as far as uTorrent is concerned.ESET probably has a software firewall in it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
