Bit torrent worked fine upto now. If you use azureus u will know what i am talking about. the little smiley health indicator next to the torrent names. They are always stuck at yellow instead of green nowdays.

 

I have forwarded all the appropriate ports. (6969 and 6881-6999) and enabled uPnP port mapping in my router. nothing seems to be working.

It doesn't really mean anything in practice, all of mine are yellow and I still get the files.

BT always locks my computer up, even if I limit the number of connections. no chance someone is performing a DOS on me is there?

Try using different ports, in the 45-46,000 range or something.

When you use BitTorrent, or just generally?

just when I use bittorrent. I just use the default ports since I don't really understand anything about ports. which ports can I use?

You should be able to change them to any range (just remember to make sure your firewall is all hip and groovy with it).

Same here.

do the files still download? sometime they are green or yellow, but you should still be able to download the files, what happens if you click on them?

file still download. but a bit pissed as i used to get green all the time. maybe the ISP has done somethine due my huge amounth of download

It's a lack of remote connection is what it is. There's nothing significantly wrong with it.

what is lack of remote connection anyway?

dunno, but probably not enough seeds, or people to download from... i think, well im guessing, but it sounds right!

if 100 peers is not enough, what is?

More like LAAN.

the firewall is under my total control, I shall supress it and force it to do my bidding at once.

try this website, its not really to do with what you lot are talking about, but it should answer most of your bit-torrent problems, and it tells you about forwarding ports, which gets you more speed, thats if you are behind a router, network, and maybe firewall, i cant remember, but it might b a long website, but its usefull, check it out

How is Azureus?

 

I used to use the default BT program, but now I use Shareaza.

 

It's much better at finding sources. I remember once I downloaded @ 2 MB/s on my dsl.

what speed dsl, r u on 512KB/s ???

I would assume that either that figure was incorrect or he has a rather large connection. 512kbits/sec only produces around about 60kb/sec in real terms.

All I know is that my speed once said 2 MB/s

Then you should know more.
