Connection Status Not Turning Green, but, Connection and Speed Seem OK

[CanopusArchives]

Today I have been finding that the connection status on taskbar is showing just and exclamation mark which now and again briefly turns green then back to exclamation mark. Checking router I see UDP port forwarding is successful. Net Gear router has exceptions in to allow uTorrent in and out connections. Nothing has changed since status was showing constantly green. Using Set Up in uTorrent and running port tests tells me network OK. I see good up and down speeds so everything seems to check out, yet still getting yellow exclamation mark on task bar. What could be causing this?

Your modem may be a modem-router?

Today it has been green since first logon, but, I have also tweaked connections following guide and it does also seem to be running faster and smoother now. Thanks.

I have the same problem, i want to seed and green icon turns into exclamation mark and back to green all the time. Port is open, all settings seem ok according to tests, weird behaviour.

Connection status changing between green and yellow may just mean the torrent/s you have running have very little activity. Once all the peers/seeds are connected, uTorrent may not get any more incoming connections...which is how it determines whether it's firewalled or not...so it may mistakenly believe it is firewalled and change the connection status to yellow.

UPnP and/or NAT-PMP failing can also cause this...and they can fail from overloads or software firewall glitches.
