bloodhound Posted July 27, 2004 Share Posted July 27, 2004 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JaKiri Posted July 27, 2004 Share Posted July 27, 2004 It doesn't really mean anything in practice, all of mine are yellow and I still get the files. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Radical Edward Posted July 27, 2004 Share Posted July 27, 2004 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? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sayonara Posted July 27, 2004 Share Posted July 27, 2004 Try using different ports, in the 45-46,000 range or something. 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? When you use BitTorrent, or just generally?

Radical Edward Posted July 27, 2004 Share Posted July 27, 2004 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? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sayonara Posted July 27, 2004 Share Posted July 27, 2004 You should be able to change them to any range (just remember to make sure your firewall is all hip and groovy with it). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JaKiri Posted July 27, 2004 Share Posted July 27, 2004 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Radical Edward Posted July 30, 2004 Share Posted July 30, 2004 You should be able to change them to any range (just remember to make sure your firewall is all hip and groovy with it). the firewall is under my total control, I shall supress it and force it to do my bidding at once.

5614 Posted August 3, 2004 Share Posted August 3, 2004 http://dessent.net/btfaq/#ports 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NSX Posted August 3, 2004 Share Posted August 3, 2004 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dave Posted August 8, 2004 Share Posted August 8, 2004 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
