Lope Posted April 15, 2010 Report Share Posted April 15, 2010 I originally posted a feature request: Accept incoming connections while using proxy for outgoingReason its useful: ISP shapes download on non web/email ports but doesn't shape upload (this is very common).DreadWingKnight said: Most of that is a limitation of the proxy, not of uTorrent.Yesterday I checked out a few different SOCKS Proxy programs and NONE of them support incoming connections.By nature proxies are designed to make outgoing connections.I can understand that the feature I requested is not possible, because the IP uTorrent is running on is different to the IP the proxy server is running on, and assuming I could accept incoming connections on on the uTorrent IP the peers will all see the two IPs as seperate and uploading from the uTorrent IP won't contribute to the ratio of the proxy server IP which is doing the downloading.SO IF ITS NOT POSSIBLE:And I've configured uTorrent to listen on port 1703. If I'm able to forward incoming connections on the proxy server's port 1703 to my uTorrent PC, will I be able to accept incoming connections?Thanks for the help!

DreadWingKnight Posted April 15, 2010 Report Share Posted April 15, 2010 No, because the proxy changes which public IP the other peers on the torrent see.And again, it's a limitation of the proxy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lope Posted April 15, 2010 Author Report Share Posted April 15, 2010 Yes, I see that now.What about forwarding incoming connections, Will it work?>>SO IF ITS NOT POSSIBLE:And I've configured uTorrent to listen on port 1703.

DreadWingKnight Posted April 15, 2010 Report Share Posted April 15, 2010 If you get that configuration working, yes it would allow you to accept incoming connections. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
