nhyrum Posted November 22, 2013 Report Share Posted November 22, 2013 I have read other posts about this error. first off, I understand that not all torrents will download at blazing hot speeds, I have read and understood the posts.I have utorrent 3.3.2 build 30303.I am running windows 8.1 64 bit.let me know if you need more info on my systeminternet settings and stuffs...ISP is optix media(based out of pocatello, ID) - provides a lot of internet to college housing, they have ISP blocks blocking most sites that violate the college's "honor code" (code of conduct - its rather strict, but i can access P2P sites fine)static IP setI do not have port forwarding(dont know how on windows 8)I also get an error on the second part saying "port is not open (you are still able to download)"any tips on how to fix this? again, I do not care about download speeds (but I assume fixing this may result in faster downloads)heres a screenshot of my error message Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ciaobaby Posted November 22, 2013 Report Share Posted November 22, 2013 I do not have port forwarding(dont know how on windows 8)Port forwarding is done on the router NOT the machine operating system.but i can access P2P sites fine)That is no indication of whether they allow peer to peer traffic or not IF YOU HAVE SPEED ISSUES READ HERE FIRSTRead the thread, follow the suggestions, run the tests.

nhyrum Posted November 22, 2013 Author Report Share Posted November 22, 2013 Port forwarding is done on the router NOT the machine operating system.I am aware of this, but I find it difficult to navigate windows 8 to change the router settings and get the info I need, e.g. the IP address of the routerbut i can access P2P sites fine)That is no indication of whether they allow peer to peer traffic or not thanks for that information' date=' I assumed that if they allowed P2P sites P2P traffic would be fine.IF YOU HAVE SPEED ISSUES READ HERE FIRSTRead the thread, follow the suggestions, run the tests.I have read that thread, none of it helped me. im not so much concerned about speed as I am the fact that I get this error.

ciaobaby Posted November 22, 2013 Report Share Posted November 22, 2013 but I find it difficult to navigate windows 8 to change the router settings and get the info I need, e.g. the IP address of the routerOpen a comman prompt window, type in ipconfig /all press enter read the gateway IP.However that is of no use to you if you do not have access to the router configuration with a username and password.

nhyrum Posted November 22, 2013 Author Report Share Posted November 22, 2013 I have gotten the IP given by typing ipconfig /all in a command prompt. my routers IP address is different than the one given. like I said, I followed the speed issue post, and more things. I do agree though, that information is useless, if I had it, without access to the router, etc. I have emailed XIRRUS, the manufacturer of the device, which apparently isn't a router, and gotten a little information. I have also emailed my ISP, they have not responded yet. when I get done with classes today, I will give them a call. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rafi Posted November 22, 2013 Report Share Posted November 22, 2013 I also get an error on the second part saying "port is not open (you are still able to download)"It is a bug. The feature (or test site-page) is broken, for many many releases. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
