Kamisama420 Posted July 19, 2009 Report Share Posted July 19, 2009 I can't connect to anything that doesn't allow DHT...I'm connected through my friends computer. We both have Windows XP firewall, and I even went as far as shutting down both of them (like, really, the red shield with an X on it), but it didn't help.Further more, the problem is strong enough so that even though the website says there are tens of thousands seeds and peers, they appear as 0 in utorrent. If the DHT is allowed, then I see the number of peers and seeds, but I usually can't connect to more than 5, making the download extremely slow, but at this point, I don't care anymore, I just want to be able to download anything.The DHT nodes are over 300. The icon is green "Working as it should". The port is open.Not sure what other info you need to try and fix this, just ask I'll try my best to answer.Thanks in advance.

Switeck Posted July 19, 2009 Report Share Posted July 19, 2009 In the tracker window, what error message/s do you get for that torrent?Does the tracker URL says "offline" or something? (probably due to your network method) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Switeck Posted July 20, 2009 Report Share Posted July 20, 2009 Does this happen with the test torrents (mentioned in 1st link of my signature)?This way we can rule out if it's just certain trackers rejecting your ip. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kamisama420 Posted July 20, 2009 Author Report Share Posted July 20, 2009 No, I can download it, but the DHT is allowed, so... very slow but works. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Switeck Posted July 20, 2009 Report Share Posted July 20, 2009 So the test torrents get THEIR trackers blocked ALSO?Unless you have a really screwed up software firewall...it's your ISP blocking trackers!A proxy server might get past that...but I'm not the one to ask about how to set that up.

Kamisama420 Posted July 20, 2009 Author Report Share Posted July 20, 2009 A problem that sounds really hard / impossible to fix...Looks like my usual luck with computers.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Switeck Posted July 20, 2009 Report Share Posted July 20, 2009 Well, do you have any software firewalls that might be causing this?(...often found in AV products!) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kamisama420 Posted July 21, 2009 Author Report Share Posted July 21, 2009 That's the thing : no.Usual XP firewall. Exception has been included. Even with it disabled, it's not helping.EDIT: Well after a week with no replies, I'm guessing I'm stuck with that problem, ain't I.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
