Elazul Yagami Posted December 19, 2005 Share Posted December 19, 2005 i just got shared dsl, so i set up the router and everything (port forwarded) but for some reason, bittorrents still remain incredibly slow (bittornado stays in the yellow state), even though there are a shitload of seeders, and that everything else is downloading fast.. any suggestions on what to do?

Weirdy Posted December 19, 2005 Share Posted December 19, 2005 are you sure you opened the ports to the right LAN IP address? are you sure that there is a substantial amount of seeders? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Agozer Posted December 19, 2005 Share Posted December 19, 2005 are you sure that there is a substantial amount of seeders?Even if there are very few seeders, the light should be green if the connection is ok otherwise. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
StriderVM Posted December 20, 2005 Share Posted December 20, 2005 Since most DSL providers will give you a DSL/Router combo device, you could try port-forwarding. http://www.portforward.com has instructions for common routers on how to enable port forwarding on those routers. Also, your firewall might also be the culprit by always-yellow bittorent connections, try changing it's settings to allow bittorent to use any port it desires.

Weirdy Posted December 20, 2005 Share Posted December 20, 2005 I almost forgot; I believe bit tornado has options for it to forward ports, but it works like ass, so you're pretty much better off forwarding the ports on your router Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Elazul Yagami Posted December 20, 2005 Author Share Posted December 20, 2005 i've already port forwarded for the right ip address, but it's not working(didn't i mention that?) and as for a firewall, i don't have a firewall on my system (unless you count windows firewall) so should i disable that, and the router firewall?

James Posted December 20, 2005 Share Posted December 20, 2005 It still means your ports have not been set up properly. The ports you have forwarded must the same as what the torrent cleint is useing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Weirdy Posted December 20, 2005 Share Posted December 20, 2005 it wouldn't hurt to show us how you are forwarding ports btw Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Elazul Yagami Posted December 20, 2005 Author Share Posted December 20, 2005 well, thanks to the site strider posted, my problem is solved. i just needed to forward 4 more ports (10000 to 10004) so yeah, i'm good now any torrents worth downloading these days? (hypothetical question, do not answer, and no i'm not solicitating pirated material.) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Weirdy Posted December 20, 2005 Share Posted December 20, 2005 (edited) I believe that information is classified/not allowed to be discussed wow, and you're in the "NMO" Edited December 20, 2005 by Weirdy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
