Bit Torrent Yellow Light

[blkmoon]

My Bit Torrent file thing is always on Yellow even if the file is downloading? What the hell does that mean? I got symantec firewall and it automatically allows internet using programs. Why is it always Yellow help!!

Yellow means other ppl cant connect to you mate,to upload off you.For some reason in comming connects are blocked. :)

I'm really confused about the whole yellow light thing. Mine is always on. I have disabled the XP built in firewall. I have also managed to reach the max for my connection (although this has only happened once) with the yellow light showing. I think it might be (in my case) to do with the ports BT uses but its hard to figure. I can still upload /download it just goes really slow :(

I am getting the yellow now. I just started using the anonx proxy and I believe it is because of that. But I am having no problems connecting to people as far as I can see.

If you guys use a router, port forwarding should solve the 'Yellow' light issue. If so check what router you have either off manual or website. You have a web addy that enables you to configure your router. Learn about Bittorrent settings from
