strider114 Posted July 31, 2009 Report Share Posted July 31, 2009 So utorrent isn't downloading anything, the connection icon is yellow and the port forwarding test failed. This occurs even after I followed all of the site's guides to the letter and solved the port forwarding issues (using a Rotal RTA 1025w modem-router).My upload speed is 0.52 Mbps as scored on the speed test link you guys provided. (DL score is 5.34)I'm using the following utorrent settings: upload speed capped at 40100 global max connections40 connected peers per torrent4 upload slotsenabled DHT, local peer discovery, peer exchange, protocol encryption, and incoming legacy connectionsmy max_halfopen is at 8Using a fresh install of XP Pro SP3 on a Lenovo 3000 n100 (thats 512 MB RAM, intel core 2 t5500 @1.66Ghz, 70 gig hard drive and a Realtek RTL8139/810x Family Fast Ethernet NIC internal modem), my DSL internet connection is provided by NetVision (Israeli ISP - not throttlingto the best of my knowledge).Ive excluded utorrent from both the windows firewall and NOD32 v3. I don't know what else I can do.Help me out here, guys.- Dan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Switeck Posted July 31, 2009 Report Share Posted July 31, 2009 NOD32 v3 may still be interfering...or you may have another software firewall interfering as well. Try uninstalling NOD32 v3 and retesting uTorrent.If you only have 1 port forwarded on your router to uTorrent's incoming listening port, it's reasonably safe if windows is fully updated. Or try with windows firewall enabled, with uTorrent allowed of course. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
strider114 Posted August 1, 2009 Author Report Share Posted August 1, 2009 Tried that... even after I disable the WAP in NOD32 i fail the port forwarding test every timeCan't be another software interfering... all this laptop has on software-wise is NOD32, uTorrent and Office...

strider114 Posted August 1, 2009 Author Report Share Posted August 1, 2009 I did as you said and ran the port forwarding test again after unistalling NOD32 and I got the same resultsThe connection icon on utorrent alternates between red and yellow and the port test says "an error has occured".F*** me senselessWhat else can I try Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Switeck Posted August 1, 2009 Report Share Posted August 1, 2009 Is modem and/or router port forwarded?http://www.portforward.com/english/routers/port_forwarding/routerindex.htm Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
strider114 Posted August 1, 2009 Author Report Share Posted August 1, 2009 Yeah that was the first thing I did. The port is forwarded correctly but I still fail the port forward test Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Switeck Posted August 2, 2009 Report Share Posted August 2, 2009 If you had to forward both a separate modem AND router, that's probably your problem!The modem has to forwarded to the router's WAN-side ip address...and even that's not guaranteed to work.

strider114 Posted August 2, 2009 Author Report Share Posted August 2, 2009 Lovely... I have a modem-router so I just plug in a LAN cable... Do you mean I need to port forward the laptop's internal modem? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Switeck Posted August 2, 2009 Report Share Posted August 2, 2009 No, I mean you have to configure whatever modem connects you to the internet... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
strider114 Posted August 3, 2009 Author Report Share Posted August 3, 2009 Lo and beholddowngraded to uTorrent 1.8.2works like a f****n' charmthanks for the help anyways Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DreadWingKnight Posted August 3, 2009 Report Share Posted August 3, 2009 Downgrading isn't troubleshooting.It also isn't supported.Update to current, and re-create ALL internet security software exceptions for the new version. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Switeck Posted August 3, 2009 Report Share Posted August 3, 2009 strider114, if downgrading to uTorrent v1.8.2 helped, it's because your software firewall thought uTorrent was 'corrupted' when you upgraded to v1.8.3....That would be your software firewall's fault, not a flaw of uTorrent.
