lubo999 Posted September 9, 2006 Report Share Posted September 9, 2006 after trying speed guide this message appears: Error! Port 55012 does not appear to be open.it doesnt matter which port I use. Admin of proxy server I am using says that all ports are opened from 24.00 till 8.00.And he claims that I have DL so low because my connection is half duplex and i have no static IP adress assigned.That's why some people using torrent client are not able to download from me.But it's very frustrating as when i click on peers I see guy is downloading from me 130kB and it's giving me 1kB...upload limit :1700 kB upload Slots:4connections(per torrent) :50 connections (Global) :200max active torrent:8 max active downloads:8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Switeck Posted September 10, 2006 Report Share Posted September 10, 2006 The proxy server probably leaves your computer firewalled. The proxy's ports aren't blocked in the sense they don't work at all, they are just not set up to auto-forward any and all traffic to you. The proxy will probably only forward what you connected to first. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lubo999 Posted September 11, 2006 Report Share Posted September 11, 2006 Switeck ADMIN can't forward any port as I am on proxy with thousands of users and if he would forward port to me noone else could use that port...all other users would be affected...

Ultima Posted September 11, 2006 Report Share Posted September 11, 2006 Hm...? Forwarding a port only means the incoming connections on that port will be forwarded to you. If it's not forwarded to anyone, it can't be used in the first place by anyone either, so I'm not seeing how it would affect anyone. Additionally, when forwarding ports, you're supposed to be selecting a port that is not used by any other application/person. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Switeck Posted September 11, 2006 Report Share Posted September 11, 2006 This is why I hate wireless ISPs.They're not giving you a complete internet connection, only a filtered/throttled proxy one.Satellite connections are often the same way, only a LAN ip address -- not a unique internet ip.

lubo999 Posted September 11, 2006 Report Share Posted September 11, 2006 Ultima,there are thousands games using each different port.Imagine that admin will forward port to me which is used by game xxxx it will affect other users using this game on this proxy...Switeck you are absolutely right... fucking wireless connectionI think there's nothing I could do to increase speed more.Depressing.

Ultima Posted September 11, 2006 Report Share Posted September 11, 2006 If it was never forwarded, it won't make any difference as no user could've been using that port for incoming connections in the first place -- incoming connections on that port were never forwarded to anyone.If thousands of people running a game could *theoretically* be affected by a simple port forwarding, then they should be getting affected by even having more than one instance of that game running anyway, but alas, they're not, so a simple port forwarding shouldn't affect anyone else besides you, in that you'll have a port clear for listening on.If a game randomly picks a port for outgoing connections, and you happen to be using that port for BitTorrenting, it'd be the same as if you were using that port for gaming anyway. Really, forwarding a port doesn't make a difference to anyone else besides yourself. It doesn't make any sort of reservation so that you're the only person who is allowed to use that port. It only tells the router to forward any incoming connections over that port to your computer specifically. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
