djmixmastapete Posted August 29, 2009 Report Share Posted August 29, 2009 i'm having some issues with getting my files to upload. when i click on the icon to see if the port is forwarded properly it says that it is, i have also ran a speed test and set my settings according to the results of the test. but there isn't a green light saying that i am connected, and i havent been able to upload anything in a very long time. im using the latest version of utorrent, and i'm running windows vista.

Oxwil Posted August 29, 2009 Report Share Posted August 29, 2009 Did you try enabling the encryption system? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
djmixmastapete Posted August 29, 2009 Author Report Share Posted August 29, 2009 Yea, its enabled. it still doesnt show an exclamation point or anything indicating that it the port is forwarded, but if i run that port forwarding test through the speed guide menu it says that it is forwarded properly. i have a few hundred seeds on my screen, but they all have the red arrow pointing up.

DreadWingKnight Posted August 29, 2009 Report Share Posted August 29, 2009 And what tracker status do you have on these torrents? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
djmixmastapete Posted August 30, 2009 Author Report Share Posted August 30, 2009 it says offline or timed out.. buut i know for a fact that it isnt, because i use a private tracker and no one else seems to be having these problems Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DreadWingKnight Posted August 30, 2009 Report Share Posted August 30, 2009 Then check your internet security software settings to make sure the exceptions for uTorrent are up to date.And see if torrents from the following addresses give you the same sort of tracker issues.http://distribution.openoffice.org/p2p/http://torrent.unix-ag.uni-kl.de/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
djmixmastapete Posted August 31, 2009 Author Report Share Posted August 31, 2009 Ok the settings say utorrent is allowed, im using vista. i used to live in ny, and i could download no problem, then i moved houses and the house had a different isp. Well that is when i started to have all the problems. So now that i have moved back to texas where i originally started using torrents, it is still giving me trouble. Although i could start a download from that second link that was provided. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Switeck Posted September 1, 2009 Report Share Posted September 1, 2009 If your ISP is causing the problem/s...what's the ISP?If your problem is caused by your uTorrent settings...what settings are you using? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
djmixmastapete Posted September 1, 2009 Author Report Share Posted September 1, 2009 I am using road runner cable modem. as far as the setting which ones are you referring to? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Switeck Posted September 1, 2009 Report Share Posted September 1, 2009 ALL of them!CTRL+G screen plus any advanced settings that have an * next to it.Is UPnP, NAT-PMP, DHT, LPD, PEX, Resolve IPs enabled/disabled? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
djmixmastapete Posted September 1, 2009 Author Report Share Posted September 1, 2009 Ok, so i ran multiple speed tests and averaged about 420k upload speed so i have it set at xx/384k. My upload limit is at 35 kb/s, connections per torrent 80, upload 4, connections global 230, 2 max actives dls, 3 max active torrents, Upnp port mapping is unchecked, natpmp is unchecked, windows firewall exception is checked, randomize each port is unchecked. The dht setting is unchecked, dht for new torrents unchecked, enable peer discovery checked, ask tracker for scrape info yes, enable peer exchange yes, protocol encryption is enabled. As far as the settings with asterisk next to them i dont see any with that option. but with the dht the private torrents i use they ask us to disable dht and dht for new torrents Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GTHK Posted September 1, 2009 Report Share Posted September 1, 2009 but with the dht the private torrents i use they ask us to disable dht and dht for new torrentsPrivate tracker stupidity.Just for clarification, when you look at the advanced section in preferences and see all those settings, if you see a * next to any of the values that means it has been changed.Note to others: RR in Texas = Time Warner Cable Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
djmixmastapete Posted September 1, 2009 Author Report Share Posted September 1, 2009 Ya, im still not seeing any sort of asterisk, so should i enable the dht and that will fix the problem, or??? Time warner shouldnt have anything to do with it though, ive used it here before no problem. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GTHK Posted September 2, 2009 Report Share Posted September 2, 2009 TWC is NOT a friendly ISP. Don't know if they are actively causing problems (yet) though so I left that note for the more knowledgeable in that particular area.Leaving DHT off is ok, 'specially as a troubleshooting step. Private tracker admins are almost always retarded though and recommend keeping it off. Are you using any firewall software? See anything on the Logger tab? What kind of activity did you see on DWK's test torrents? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
djmixmastapete Posted September 2, 2009 Author Report Share Posted September 2, 2009 I am using windows firewall, but i tried turning it off and it did nothing. I also have norton antivirus but it doesnt indicate anywhere that im using a norton firewall. As far as the logger tab goes i dont see anything other than "IPv6 was installed". The test torrent connects and starts to download no problem. Im averaging 1 mb/s actually. and the green circle with the check is now there and says everything is ok. but all the other torrents are still dead.

Ultima Posted September 2, 2009 Report Share Posted September 2, 2009 Indeed, I tend to suspect TWC of foul play as well. I've noticed my speeds are generally capped around 300 KiB/s, even on known-to-be-fast torrents. And this happens globally, so that if I'm downloading at 300 KiB/s on one torrent, and I start another fast one, the bandwidth gets "stolen" from the first torrent so that the global speed remains around 300 KiB/s. Speed graphs sometimes look suspicious too (too many odd jags).At the very least, they aren't being barbaric about it as Comcast was. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GTHK Posted September 2, 2009 Report Share Posted September 2, 2009 Makes me glad I'm not in NYC still and using them XD | Btw like your new title djmix~: Norton isn't a very good program. Personally I would remove it completely, though if you so wish you could only remove it temporarily and see what happens. You may even see a general improvement in your computer itself. Use this removal tool from Symantec (since they're too dumb to make a proper uninstaller): http://service1.symantec.com/Support/tsgeninfo.nsf/docid/2005033108162039Also, the torrents that are "dead", are these the ones with the non-working trackers? What are the peer/seed counts? And are these all from private trackers? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
djmixmastapete Posted September 2, 2009 Author Report Share Posted September 2, 2009 Posted late last night.i guess i shouldnt have said "dead," yea these are the ones with non working trackers. the peer/seed counts are good, and yes they are all from a private tracker. I went to the torrent site i use and tried to download anything off the new top 10 list because i knew they would be download-able and it still just turns red and never connects and starts.Ok so today i checked and out of no where utorrent is working and all my torrents are uploading and i can download again. haha wtf! Anyone tell me whats going on?? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
