[ARCHIVED THREAD] - Port issue...paging Subnet! (Page 1 of 2)

Using BitTorrent 6.0.3. No matter how many seeds a torrent has, when I try to download it, I get nothing. I've been using Pirate Bay and Demonoid. Last week I could get things to start. Now, nothing. I don't think I fucked with anything. Is there something I can do, or do I just FAIL at teh interwebz? ETA: I just started using this last week. |
what is this spyware that you speak of? to the OP: is it possible your ISP is messing with you? who do you use for internet access? also, can you see the swarm or is it reported as 0? |
I use "Northland Cable" it's what my apartment came with. My room mate seems to be having no problems downloading, though it is slow as hell. Like 25-30kb/s. If the swarm is peers, then yes. I see something that looks like this: 0(231). For seeds, even though the torrent said there are like 3000 seeds, it looks like 0(0) when I try to download it. |
if your router wasn't configured correctly (port forwarding) and you and your roommate are using the same bittorrent client that uses the same ports for bittorrent data, it might cause a conflict. who configured your router? are you using uPnP to open ports on the router? do you have a static IP address? do you implement "reserved" IP addresses for your local network? i would try to take your roommate's pc off the network temporarily and see what happens. Edit for clarity |
I didn't either until I noticed the similarities and checked it out. From the wiki:
|
I don't have a clue about any of that. My router is locked up in a box though, so I can't examine it in any way. I'll try to see what happens next time he gets off. He's got a few torrents downloading right now. |
once you get it working, download Torrent Finder Toolbar for Firefox 
|
| I use uTorrent as well. BitLord has been highly recommended but I didn't like the resemblance to BitComet. |
Piece of cake. Download <ahem OP> UTorrent <ahem OP> and then go to Mininova.org and click on what you want. Select "open with UTorrent" and it should come up. I have a few torrents downloaded and I have NEVER seen a virus. |
IM Subnet. He should be able to tell you which port needs opened and how to access it. May try a title change as well. I dont think it's a torrent issue, probably, as stated above, is a port issue. |
Your message box is full. IM me. |

My problem is my stupid ass modem hates torrents. It tends to just randomly freeze up when I'm downloading so I have to unplug the damn thing every couple minutes sometimes. Really screws up my pr0n downloads. I used to be able to leave it running over night or when I'm working and by the time I get back to it its downloaded and fully seeded to maintain my ratio, BUT NOOOO. The man is trying to keep my pr0n in check. Fuckers. ETA: Woot unintentional page own? |
...ehh no. your explaination here |
I changed the title. My box is full? Mine is only 4%. I imagine Subnets is though.

www.youtube.com/watch?v=0orIANZ6vh0 This video covers it I think. Here toy go. Step by step, opening ports. forums.afterdawn.com/thread_view.cfm/73686 |
go here Choose your router and follow instructions |
My Netgear router was blocking uTorrent until I followed on-line instructions to configure the router and Windows XP. It's not possible to give universal step by step instructions since there are so many routers and firewalls in use. |
Like I said in an earlier post, I have no idea how to identify my router. It's locked in a box and is not marked. |
Anyone else have my problem of torrents just shutting down my damn modem? |
go here and tell me exacly what is on the screen |
LinkSYS like in tonights episode of South Park?
|
Never. |
Is this sensitive info, or can I just post it here? |
It's not a seeder issue. The current torrent has over 3500, with 26 being downloaded from. Only 20kb/s, with a 60kb/s spike. |
Go to options<preferences<connection< and see if there is a maximum download rate. Change it to 0 in both boxes for unlimited up and down, I change it to about 50 up<75 down if I still want to surf while I download. |
0 is the default setting. IM sent gaspain. |
Is that something I can even do? I don't know how to do this stuff. I can't get physical access to the router. |
well, at that link (192.168.0.1) I told you to go to earlier would usually give you a login screen...since it didnt, I think the owner changed the login to page to something else. you should contact them to open the port. |
