ZabMomochi Posted November 25, 2009 Report Share Posted November 25, 2009 Hey everyone,I just purchased a Belkin G Wireless Router Model# F5D7234-4.I installed utorrent and did a port forward similar to my old router (DLink) and it says port is open and connecting. After i finish downloading a file, i would like for it to upload to bring up my ratio.When the file is done and trying to upload (seed) there is a yellow yield sign, never had this before when i port forward but now i do. I know there are a lot of people who want the file so there should be some sign of seeding.What can be the problem?*I used a utorrent port forwarding guide and I did everything it said.** A friend of mine says i have to forward a port for downloading and another for uploading, is that true? if so, how do i do that?Thanks, much appreciation.

Switeck Posted November 25, 2009 Report Share Posted November 25, 2009 You forward only 1 port on your router to your computer's LAN ip address for uTorrent -- that port is used for downloading and uploading. Forward BOTH TCP and UDP.Rogers Cable could be to blame for your slow upload problem?:http://forum.utorrent.com/viewtopic.php?id=63713 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ZabMomochi Posted November 25, 2009 Author Report Share Posted November 25, 2009 I forwarded the port with tcp & udp, i didnt do a port for each, chose the option for both.I doubt it thats its Rogers, 2 weeks ago with my old router it was all gravy.Nope, it didnt work. i just dont understand why its not working, i followed the guide and did what it said, so it should work.I dont know why not Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Switeck Posted November 25, 2009 Report Share Posted November 25, 2009 The new router may require you to only forward to a fixed LAN ip address outside the router's DHCP ip range. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ZabMomochi Posted November 26, 2009 Author Report Share Posted November 26, 2009 How would i do that? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Switeck Posted November 26, 2009 Report Share Posted November 26, 2009 Configure your router -- find where it reports its DHCP range and change that if necessary. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ZabMomochi Posted November 29, 2009 Author Report Share Posted November 29, 2009 still cant figure out why,Turned off all firewalls on router and computer, still nothing.checked if i port forward correctly, so far it seems to be right since i can download but i just cant upload.close to throwing this router out of window.

Switeck Posted November 29, 2009 Report Share Posted November 29, 2009 Can you do a test without the router at all?Are you sure the torrents aren't to blame?(Peers may be there but don't care to download from you, because they're being overloaded by seeds.)

ZabMomochi Posted November 30, 2009 Author Report Share Posted November 30, 2009 well lets say that peers dont want to download from me, that doesnt explain why its a yield sign after i download.the weird thing is as well is i tired it without a router and still same problem, so i can assume its not router but then i wonder what on my computer is doing it.I Avast anti virus and also AVG, I tried turning off my computer firewall, and those programs and still nothing. me confusy.

Switeck Posted December 1, 2009 Report Share Posted December 1, 2009 Turned off/disabling software firewalls is often not enough. Many software firewalls have to be completely uninstalled to prevent them firewalling uTorrent. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ZabMomochi Posted December 20, 2009 Author Report Share Posted December 20, 2009 Hmmmm, looks like i may of figured it out.Thanks to you Switeck, although i disabled my firewall and made exceptions as well.I said screw it and uninstalled Avast.... guess what?it worked, everything is back to normal, but now my concern is.... is there any antivirus i can use that wont combat against Utorrent? and is an actual good AV?if not i just want to thank you Switeck for all your help and being patient with me.

Switeck Posted December 29, 2009 Report Share Posted December 29, 2009 I'm not running any antivirus software at this time, so I cannot tell you what to use in that regard.But I do use HijackThis, Process Explorer, and TCP View regularly.Windows firewall (enabled) seems to work ok with uTorrent.
