Switeck Posted June 2, 2006 Report Share Posted June 2, 2006 If your computer does not have a direct connection to the internet...and instead has to connect through another computer (or router) to get to the ADSL/Cable modem, then you need to set up the other computer or router to forward ALL traffic on whatever port µTorrent is using to the computer µTorrent is on.Otherwise, you're 100% firewalled, 100% of the time. And since roughly 70% of any BT clients connecting to a torrent are firewalled, you will only be able to download and upload to the remaining 30%! ...so you will get roughly 1/2 the download speed of someone who isn't firewalled.

Firon Posted June 5, 2006 Report Share Posted June 5, 2006 Turning off a firewall won't work, only uninstalling it, or configuring it properly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Firon Posted June 5, 2006 Report Share Posted June 5, 2006 Well, that particular firewall can be disabled. Are you using ICS or something to share the internet? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Costiy Posted January 28, 2007 Report Share Posted January 28, 2007 HI, I have the same problem ... 2 crossover linked PC's, on one of them (which receives Internet from provider) the uTorrent is working fine, conectable etc. on the other (linked only with crossover cable) the utorrent is working only by download, the upload is not working - not connectable (internet/lan is working fine). The firewall is disabled on both PC's (ZoneAlarm uninstalled). How can utorrent receive outside connection on the second pc ? is there a software which can automatically configure and solve this issue ? please help me with this very important problem ... Anyone who has the same configuration as above working please be so kind and help me with the utorrent - lan - firewall full configuration.
