jealousmonk Posted March 1, 2011 Report Share Posted March 1, 2011 I just set up a VPN and my torrents have slowed a great deal. In the utorrent interface, I get the icon in the lower right which looks like a yield sign with and exclamation point in it. When I click on it and run the test, I get a network error that says "Neither NAT-PMP nor UPnP is enabled." Both are enabled in my utorrent preferences and, in my router settings, UPnp is enabled and I have the port forwarded that I designated in my utorrent settings. Some activity is making it through but my download speeds have gone from 1 Mbps to less than 50 Kbps.It is either my utorrent settings, my router settings, my firewall settings (Comodo) or the VPN is just plain slow. I don't seem to have issues with browsing but I cannot download files from Google Reader while connected through my VPN. I get an "unknown" error with that.I don't think my torrent settings are at issue here but are there settings I need to change to download while connected to my VPN? Or can you help identify the probable problem? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jealousmonk Posted March 1, 2011 Author Report Share Posted March 1, 2011 I don't know but the problem might be solved. I tried it again and, while the icon was red for a while, it is now green and I'm getting speeds around 250 kbps. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jealousmonk Posted March 1, 2011 Author Report Share Posted March 1, 2011 I am able to download from Google Reader too. It looks like a false alarm but I would still appreciate any suggestions if there is something I should change in my settings because I am using a VPN. Thanks and apologies.
