LoadingAtropy Posted June 16, 2009 Report Share Posted June 16, 2009 I get either yellow or red sign/flag that says "Not connectable - your firewall/router is blocking your traffic" when I roll mouse over it. I am using the recently released 1.8.3 version.I checked the port with uTorrent port checker (that "test" button) and it said that my port is accepting connections. I use a local city wireless private WiFi ISP that offers high speeds and it is P2P friendly. Its not a satellite/3G connection. Its a WiFi tower connection for several apartment complexes within the city limits. I don't use any other firewalls. My ISP has 7 ports opened and I tried them all, but I still get yellow and red signs. It turns green once in a blue moon (almost never). My speeds are OK, but they could be better (not as good as HTTP download speeds). I tried messing with UPnP settings inside uTorrent, but whether the box is ticked or unticked makes no difference.So why am I "not connectable" ?

moogly Posted June 16, 2009 Report Share Posted June 16, 2009 I think the issue is that your ISP is wireless. You probably stay in "firewalled" state, it's usual with wimax, 3G or sat connection. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LoadingAtropy Posted June 16, 2009 Author Report Share Posted June 16, 2009 Its a WiFi connection designed for several apartment complexes in the city. Its a private ISP. Its not like satellite connection... I get ping/latency of less than 50 in most of my online games. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
moogly Posted June 17, 2009 Report Share Posted June 17, 2009 It's not a problem of latency, it's just you can't forward a port properly and you stay firewalled.Many people meet this issue with residential wifi or 3G network. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LoadingAtropy Posted June 17, 2009 Author Report Share Posted June 17, 2009 Gotcha, but I don't understand...if nobody connects to me, then howcome I get pretty decent 300kb/sec+ download speeds? In fact, if nobody connects to me then howcome I can download at all through torrents? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
