shirike Posted January 28, 2006 Report Share Posted January 28, 2006 I'm a new user to uTorrent (having used Azureus for a long time) and I have a few issues1. DHT status is saying "waiting for announce" in the Tracker section of the Detailed Info section.2. DHT Status is "DHT: Waiting to log in" in the status bar.I've searched the forum and read a post by Firon stating that the ports required for utorrent need to be setup so that1. Allow incoming TCP on the port you specify in the options (in my case, 50321. This is also port forwarded on my router)2. Allow ALL (1024 to 65535) outgoing TCP and UDPI have the following rules setup on my firewall (Outpost Pro)1. TCPOutboundPort: HTTP (80)Allow2.TCPOutboundPort: HTTPS (443)Allow3.TCPOutboundPort: 1024 to 65535Allow4.TCPInboundPort: 50321Allow5.TCPInboundBlock6.TCPOutboundBlock7.UDPInboundBlock8.UDPOutboundPort: 1024 to 65535AllowAre these settings correct and, if so, are those inet backbones still broken/affected?

shirike Posted January 28, 2006 Author Report Share Posted January 28, 2006 Just a note: I'm downloading fine and the only issue I'm querying is the DHT Status and whether my firewall rules are set optimally for utorrent Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
1c3d0g Posted January 28, 2006 Report Share Posted January 28, 2006 ...7.UDPInboundBlock...There's your problem. You need to allow inbound UDP as well (same port as TCP - 50321). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shirike Posted January 28, 2006 Author Report Share Posted January 28, 2006 Ahhhh!D'oh!Thanks for that - can't believe it was something so obvious Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Firon Posted January 29, 2006 Report Share Posted January 29, 2006 You should probably allow the lower 1024 too, at least for UDP. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shirike Posted January 29, 2006 Author Report Share Posted January 29, 2006 Thank you very much It's working perfectly.I was a bit dubious about changing from Azureus because I liked its plugin feature but the benefits of utorrents low overhead are just too good to ignore Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
