Larkspeed Posted March 9, 2006 Report Posted March 9, 2006 The Upnp feature is great so I don't have to mess with my network settings to get utorrent to work correctly.However even after all these updates and betas it is still not releasing the mappings when it is closed this leads to my router having a whole list of ports mapped to utorrent when it does not need them and eventualy for security reasons I end up haveing to reboot my router to clear it out.Can we get this sorted please it should not be that hard to get utorrent to send a release command to the upnp device when you close the program since every other torrent client that supports upnp does it.example of what i mean:This is what my router returns when I only have 1 instance of utorrent running anywhere on my network.
Larkspeed Posted March 9, 2006 Author Report Posted March 9, 2006 i'll reboot my router and check they could be leftovers from 1.4---edit---Ok I rebooted my router then checked it's mappings list which was emptyI started utorrent 1.5 and checked it again and there was one entry for utorrent.Restart utorrent and check again and now there are two entries for utorrent.and since it could not get the set port because the router still had one mapped it bumped the external port sequentialy up by one.But the point is it's obviously not working as far as release goes or I would not now have two entries
konijntje Posted March 9, 2006 Report Posted March 9, 2006 What router do you have?If it has bad support for upnp then that might be the problem.I have an SMC 7804 and it works just fine.
Larkspeed Posted March 9, 2006 Author Report Posted March 9, 2006 Netgear WGR614 v5As far as I know there is nothing wrong with the Upnp support as every other piece of Upnp enabled software I use opens and closes the ports it needs just fine it's only utorrent that does not do it right hence why there is nothing in that list but utorrent
Firon Posted March 9, 2006 Report Posted March 9, 2006 Well, it was supposed to be fixed before, but I guess it broke again.
jlaw84 Posted March 9, 2006 Report Posted March 9, 2006 Restart utorrent and check again and now there are two entries for utorrent.and since it could not get the set port because the router still had one mapped it bumped the external port sequentialy up by one.I have also noticed this happening with Upnp with previous builds and now 1.5. I have a Linksys WRK54G.
