1ron Posted April 6, 2013 Report Share Posted April 6, 2013 Whenever I try to torrent, my client times out when connecting to peers.Any suggestions would be great. I used to be able to torrent on my connection and recently rebuild my computer and have been having this problem since. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DreadWingKnight Posted April 6, 2013 Report Share Posted April 6, 2013 What internet security software do you have installed? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
1ron Posted April 6, 2013 Author Report Share Posted April 6, 2013 AVG. I have it set to let utorrent through. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
1ron Posted April 7, 2013 Author Report Share Posted April 7, 2013 I have turned off Window's Firewall and temporarily turned off AVG and it still cannot connect to peers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ciaobaby Posted April 7, 2013 Report Share Posted April 7, 2013 Given that the only tracker showing a peer count is LPD, I'd suggest checking that the listening port is actually forwarded to the correct IP. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
1ron Posted April 7, 2013 Author Report Share Posted April 7, 2013 How would I go about doing that? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ciaobaby Posted April 7, 2013 Report Share Posted April 7, 2013 open your router control panel and look in the routing tables, sometimes called "Game and Application sharing". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
1ron Posted April 8, 2013 Author Report Share Posted April 8, 2013 The port is forwarded to my computer's local IP.I checked on http://www.yougetsignal.com/tools/open-ports/ and it agrees with me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Damaged Posted April 10, 2013 Report Share Posted April 10, 2013 Do you think it's possibly my ISP messing with me?I think my ISP has done something as well. I've been downloading softs for ages and nothing. One day, I downloaded Resident Evil Director's Cut and turned out it was a CD Image. Anyway, I got an Email from my ISP telling me whomever owns Resident Eil (don't recall the company offhand) and reported I violated copyright by downloading the torrent. Mentioned the torrent and all. So, I think it's cut me as all I get now is connecting to peers, but never does. Seems I read about having the problem with utorrent 3.3 and I'm going to revert back to previous version and see what happens. In the meantime, if someone could help me out in case this doesn't work, I'd appreciate it greatly.Damaged Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
