jealousmonk Posted March 1, 2011 Report 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?
jealousmonk Posted March 1, 2011 Author Report 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.
jealousmonk Posted March 1, 2011 Author Report 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.
