shaharhoch Posted September 8, 2010 Report Share Posted September 8, 2010 Hi, recently I've been having some problems with uTorrent's connection to trackers- I get a red arrow and it says on tracker status- offline (timed out). The weird thing is that only most of the torrents have this problem, some have green arrows (this happens regardless to the tracker, I mean that some torrents from a certain connect, and some don't). I opened the port in my router, but weirdly enough when i check if the port is open (on canyouseeme.org) sometimes it says the port is open and sometimes it's closed (timed out). *I've tried connecting the internet without a router (I've connected the modem directly to my PC). * I've tried disabling my AV and firewall. *I've tried using another computer (connected to the same network). *I've tried using Azureus, just to see it it works, and it didn't. What can I do, please, i feel paralyzed without being able to download!!more information: *my system includes: windows 7, AVG Free Antivirus, router: Linksys BEFW11S4.*I've tried using every guide in the stickies (I think I've tried every settings combination existing). *my connection icon is green (ok).*The speed guide test shows these results: -Speed test failed, connection failed error: timed out (10060)-The port test sometimes show the port is open and sometimes it's closed (like canyouseeme.org), even though the connection icon is green. *Speedtest.net shows I get my full bandwidth (12Mbit down, 1Mbit up).

rafi Posted September 8, 2010 Report Share Posted September 8, 2010 Are you connected with or without an L2PT dialer (tunnel) to the cables co. ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shaharhoch Posted September 8, 2010 Author Report Share Posted September 8, 2010 No dialer Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rafi Posted September 8, 2010 Report Share Posted September 8, 2010 Ask to "test driver" your connection WITH a dialer, see if there is any change. Your ISP might be blocking some of your connections to trackers.http://www.tapuz.co.il/Forums2008/ViewMsg.aspx?ForumId=20&MessageId=144957242 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shaharhoch Posted September 8, 2010 Author Report Share Posted September 8, 2010 That does make sense, because the thread you've mentioned here describes the exact same problem I have. I will try contacting my ISP tomorrow (it is too late now). I hope it will work, but in the meantime if you have another suggestion that does not require my ISP's intervention, i'll be happy to hear about it.

rafi Posted September 9, 2010 Report Share Posted September 9, 2010 I know... it doesn't make sense but worth a try.... It might be something else ... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shaharhoch Posted September 9, 2010 Author Report Share Posted September 9, 2010 I tried moving to an internet connection with a dialer, but it didn't help :'(I'm desperate, please help me! BTW Switeck I've already tried it, and it didn't work. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Switeck Posted September 9, 2010 Report Share Posted September 9, 2010 Use a proxy or VPN to see if you can connect to those private trackers.If so, uTorrent can be set up to report your real ip address to the tracker (instead of whatever the proxy or VPN gives).

shaharhoch Posted September 9, 2010 Author Report Share Posted September 9, 2010 I've tried using proxy and it didn't work, sadly I don't know how to use VPN, so I can't see if that works...Another weird thing I have noticed, is that when i connect my modem directly to my computer, turn off my firewall and check if a random port is open using canyouseeme.org every port is closed! how can that be?

Switeck Posted September 9, 2010 Report Share Posted September 9, 2010 Your ISP can block ports on their end, the modem may be blocking ports, or you've got something on your computer still blocking -- such as the firewall's DLLs still in memory.

shaharhoch Posted September 9, 2010 Author Report Share Posted September 9, 2010 my ISP is almost certainly not blocking ports, because I;m not the only one using it, but no one (or almost no one) has my problem. I don't have anything on my PC blocking ports because I've tried using another PC (connected to the same network). The modem could be causing the problem, is there any way of testing it without getting another modem? because I'm pretty sure my ISP would have a problem with me getting another modem without any proof.

Switeck Posted September 10, 2010 Report Share Posted September 10, 2010 Can you get into the modem settings? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rafi Posted September 10, 2010 Report Share Posted September 10, 2010 cable modems are not user settable here... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Switeck Posted September 10, 2010 Report Share Posted September 10, 2010 If the modem or ISP is to blame, there's not much you can do then. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shaharhoch Posted September 12, 2010 Author Report Share Posted September 12, 2010 BTW, when i try to ping some of the tracker i get "Request timed out", does this make any difference? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Switeck Posted September 12, 2010 Report Share Posted September 12, 2010 Wait...can you convert the tracker's URL into a "pure" ip address?...Then try to ping the real ip address the tracker uses. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
