Azureus

[l_p_4_7]

Please post all questions related to Azureus in this thread.

[Byronious]

Alright, as the title states, I have downloaded a file. I have tried opening the file from both Azureus and by locating it on my hard drive. The file size shows as it should, however, when I try to open it, it doesn't open. This happens with all files I have downloaded. Anyone have any suggestions?

[Samurai]

what's the extension of the file name? e.g. .rar or .exe or .zip

[Byronious]

It is a .rar file. Should have specified that in my original message. This has happend with .zip files as well. Perhaps they are corrupted?

[DanB]

do you have winrar installed on your machine?

You need something to unpack the archive

[Byronious]

I use WinACE. When I locate the file, I can open it, but it does not show the contents of the file, it instead shows the contents of my desktop.

When I right-click and choose to extract it to a folder, it extracts nothing.

EDIT: Like I said, do you think the archives are corrupted?

[Kokanee]

Use winrar: http://www.rarlab.com/

[Byronious]

Well now, that worked. Never thought it would be the program I was using to unpack the files. Thank you kindly for your help.

[AzNsMaRtGuY333]

has anyone noticed that it is taking much more ram than the past version?

[Harsh!]

Anyone seen any of those Azureus mods around?
Found a few, but there not what Im looking for

[Mad Cat]

Mods? Try searching plugins instead.

[Harsh!]

Theres a few actual mods for Azureus now,(like all the eMule Mods) been around for a while and I cant find the one I want..(Extra Low resources used etc)
All I can find is these bloody no-upload modded ones

[worldpease]

Hi, Im corrently downloading a 9GB Season using Azureus, and I know Bittorrent tends to be slow, but anyways, I tought I´d show you my settings, and may be you can tell me how I am, or what to change, cus, im downloading like 250MB in 6 hours, is that good?

Ok, next I put my settings:

-Tracker: Active
-Uploads Limit: 10
-Upload limit: 16 kbps
-Download limit: 40 kbps (only goes up to 16 at most)

Input port: 6881
UDP Protocol: Active

Upload Max Speed: 40 kbps
Download Max Speed: 50 kbps

Ok, tose are the main setting,
hope you can add some info based on your own experience.

[RealitY]

Ide change the port when you get a chance.
Also is that actually your max dl speed...
:blink: :blink:

[worldpease]

What do you mean about changin my Post?
and about the Dld speed, thats just the setting, but It just gets up to 16 kbps.

and why are my seeds and clients in this format, 00(00),
and is there a way to increase them?

ooh, one other thing,
does it make big diference if I have more than one thing downloading at a time?

[RealitY]

What do you mean about changin my Post?
I meant port, whoops...

[worldpease]

Ooh, yea, And why and how would I do that?

[RealitY]

Tools -->> Configuration Wizard.
Many trackers block the satndards...

[worldpease]

Yes RealitY, now I know what you mean...
for example, I have this tracker,

http://just example:6969/announce

does 6969 means anything?

[RealitY]

Point is some ISP throttle standard ports such as the one your using which would make you leech without knowing it so many trackers now block user on those ports so change it...

[{I}{K}{E}]

-Tracker: Active
-Uploads Limit: 10
-Upload limit: 16 kbps
-Download limit: 40 kbps (only goes up to 16 at most)

Input port: 6881
UDP Protocol: Active

Upload Max Speed: 40 kbps
Download Max Speed: 50 kbps


Change max uploads to 5 if your max upload is 16 kbps
set download limit to 0: unlimited

input port: change it. I use 1201

I have the UPnp plugin disabled.

Interface -> Start:
I have all options disabled.

If you have a router make sure to port forward it.

[worldpease]

Hi guys, I was wondering in the TorrentSpy forums, and from the coments of the people there, I get the impresion that, even if slow download speeds are common, many of them have had grat speed at some point in theys downloads, and Im not talking about 30 or 40kbps, no im talking like even 100kbps.

So, the most I´ve got on BT is like 40kbps (on a 700Mb soundtrack), but now I have a file (8Gb Season), that wont go over 15kbps and it has 11 Seeds,
then my question is this, ¨is there a way to increase the seeds? opening the posibility of a speed increase.

...all this besides all the other settings.

[RealitY]

1. If 11 seeds then how may peers
2. What client are you using
3. Do you have a Green light
4. Do you have a router/nat

[worldpease]

Well RealitY, Im doomed then,

11 seeds, 37 peers...
using Azureus
almost never get ¨the green light¨, always blue or yellow at most,
and I dont know if I have a router,
is there a way to know?

[RealitY]

11 seeds, 37 peers...
using Azureus
almost never get ¨the green light¨, always blue or yellow at most,
and I dont know if I have a router,
is there a way to know?
Well if there are a few Seeds an alot of peers it may be slow to start although the ratio there is not that bad. If you never get the Green light then your connection is poorly setup which means you will connect to less sources and thus less speeds.

A router is used to connect multiple computers to one line and if you have one you need to foward the ports of your bt client to get that Green light and more sources, thus more speeds.

As for AZ its a very good client and may get more sources compared to other clients so nothing wrong there although it takes more resources. Anyway did you ever change your port and if so to what. Also you still need to figure out if you have a router or not and if so which one,,,

[worldpease]

Humm, I only change ports from 6881 to 6889,
and about a router, as I told you earlier, I dont know how or where it is suposed to be, but lets see, I have my CPU, from there a cable that goes to my CableModem and from there the cable that goes out of the house...
and if I never get the green light, what do you think it coul be that I have not set?

also Reality, as you seem to be the only one trying to help,
when I loose conection with a tracker, (if it goes ofline for a wile,
is there a way to change or find another that has the same file?

[RealitY]

Change the port to random number above 5000 and see what happens after you close and reopn the client.
As for offline trackers you can wait or find the same file on another tracker and continue it there if you want...

[{I}{K}{E}]

This is the what 3rd thread about the same problem worldpease???

merged.

[worldpease]

I-K-E, I know, Its just my perspective about it that has change,
anyway, I´ll plan my posts better in the future,
besides, Im gettin the hang of it, so, you will see less of me
...I hope, lol.
but tank you everyone for bearing with me here.

[Spam-King]

I'm dloading bad santa from torrentspy and am experiencing really bad speeds. I'v tried other sites and torrents but no luck.

currently downloading

Bad Santa

20 seeds
22 peers

only 5 kbs dloading and 5 kbs uploading (Im not leeching)
I'm on 300k broadband (so is this normal, cause a mate is getting much better speeds on a 56k)

and for some reason the health bar is always yellow

[DanB]

do you have a port open in your router/firewall for it?

[Spam-King]

firstly im a total n00b at computers.

I have mcafee firewall and dont know what a port is.

[resume97]

Hi!

Most of the time there's a problem with port-forwarding.

I found this site, and my problems were solved ... :partytime

http://www.portforward.com/default.htm


hope it helps you too

[Spam-King]

Help, how do I open the ports 6881 and 6969 on mcafee

[Spam-King]

ok done

Testing port 6881 ... OK !
azureus test^

Its still yellow

[DanB]

use a different port, a lot of sites blacklist 6881-6889, pick something else for example I use 7882

[Spam-King]

done, but still yellow

[Spam-King]

I think it might be the torrent after all

seeds have gone down to
12(19808)
peers are
12(84334)

any website recomendations

[resume97]

Hi!

Most of the time there's a problem with port-forwarding.

I found this site, and my problems were solved ... :partytime



... and again, I can call myself stupid! :crazy:

didn't remember that I changed the port once, and haven't forwarded it since. - Therefore I have been missing the green smiler ...

[Spam-King]

problem solved, thanks guys

[Samurai]

i recommend emue plus ;)

[jameswhe03]

sounds like you have to put your own port into azureus...if you want ease of use, use bittornado. i find that easier to use and more effective

[joyceanblue]

hi all i am using azureus to dload torrents but from last one week ive been facing this problem. i am losing data in dloads. i dloaded a 1.3gb file and over 300mb was discarded. i thought it was only that file but i am dloading another file right now and the rate of discarded data is same. i used safepeer to filter bad ip but still no result.

[SingaBoiy]

The latest version of Azueus is known to do this to certain trackers (i.e. Empornium). Try going back to a version before 2.2.0.2

[manker]

SB, that's to do with the announce-interval, which defaults to the longest possible in az 2.2.0.2 - this causes the tracker not to count uploaded data should the announce fail even once. It's just a stats thing so probably not to do with the problem here.

I think joyceanblue should find a small torrent to test on and try an older version of az, his current version and ABC. That should determine whether it's the client.

[joyceanblue]

tried 2.2.0.0 the problem is still there.

[manker]

Is it just on the one torrent file or are you having exactly the same problem with all torrents on all clients?

[worldpease]

hey, about ¨discarded MBs¨, what does this mean to a download?, cus I´ve seen it on Azureus too, but never stop to think of it.

ex:
Im downloading a 350 MB file, on the Details, ¨General¨tab, it sais,
-Elapsed: 3h 14m
-Downloaded: 124.8MB (384.0kB Discarded)

[Benno]

it means it was downloaded but didnt pass the hash check so it was discarded and you have to download it again.

[SingaBoiy]

Does Azurues have a setting to change the announce timing? I only used it a little and didnt like it so im not sure.

[Silver_Dales]

Hi, I suddenly seem to be having probs with Azureus 2.oo2, It has been working fine for ages and then I dl Phanntom and after I had finished and went to purely seeding it starts crashing! what happens is when I minimise it after a while it vanishs from there and when I move my mouse over the icon in the system tray it goes from there as well! I have never had a prob before. I installed Java 6 as per someone on the Azureus forums and it hasnt made any ddifference. Any ideas please?

[{I}{K}{E}]

Java 6?

use 1.5.0.01

http://www.java.com/en/download/manual.jsp

reinstall Azureus

[Silver_Dales]

Sorry 1.6

[ICHH]

Hi. I'm having yellow smilies in Azureus v2.2.0.2 all the time. I have read some of the posts and other websites, but I'm still stuck. :helpsmili

O/S: Win XP SP2
Router IP: 192.xxx.x.1
My PC IP: 192.xxx.x.2

I'm using Netgear router and has forwarded port 16953 to IP 192.xxx.x.2 as stated here (http://www.portforward.com/netgear/wgr614-portforwarding.htm).

I also made an exception for both TCP and UDP ports 16953 in SP2 firewall. (Control Panel - Windows Firewall - Exceptions) In Azureus, I have disabled UPnP (Tools - Options - Plugins - UPnP) and my incoming TCP listening port is 16953.

Despite this, the health indicator is still a yellow smile all the time. The details of the torrent show that all peers are "L". So far, the torrent runs only at about 0 to 4.7 kB/s. Upload is at about 13 kB/s. There are 6 (19) seeds and 19 (87) peers.

Later, I even disabled the SP2 firewall altogether, changed all port references to 6881 and forwarded port to IP 192.xxx.x.1 instead. None of it helps... so I changed it back to the early settings.

According to this (http://azureus.aelitis.com/wiki/index.php/PortForwarding), constant yellow smilies and all "L"s indicate Azureus is unable to receive remote connections... Did I do something wrong? How can I fit this to receive remote connections? Pls help. Thanks.

[{I}{K}{E}]

1. dont use port 6881.
2. if you have a router you dont need the XP filewall most have build in protection.
3. do you always get a yellow status? tried other torrents?

[ICHH]

I'm using port 16953 now. I have disabled the SP2 firewall. And yes, I always get yellow smilies, even with other torrents. Any idea how I fit this?

[Harsh!]

I always see lots of yellow smilies but always get good speeds though

[{I}{K}{E}]

I'm using port 16953 now. I have disabled the SP2 firewall. And yes, I always get yellow smilies, even with other torrents. Any idea how I fit this?

This has nearly always to do with incorrectly forwarded ports, from your router.

if you changed ports make sure you also change them in your router settings.

[ICHH]

Ok, I have checked the port forwarding. Firewall is off. The router is forwarding port 16953 to 192.xxx.x.2 and Azureus is using 16953 as incoming TCP listening port. Is there something else I can check or do?

[{I}{K}{E}]

try disabling the UPnP function in Azureus

[ICHH]

As mentioned in my 1st post, UPnP is disabled.

[ICHH]

I'm using cable modem... Let me confirm something...

Router WAN IP: 202.xxx.xx.xx6 (DHCP)
Router LAN IP: 192.xxx.x.1
My PC IP: 192.xxx.x.2

The router should be forwarding the port to IP 192.xxx.x.2, correct?

[ilw]

check your ip address really is 192.xxx.x.2 by opening up command prompt and typing ipconfig
to run command prompt: start -> run -> cmd
This may be necessary because unless you've set up a static ip, you're ip address can and will change
(by the way hiding your network ip address is pointless it adds basically nothing to your security)


You seem to have a pretty good idea of how to forward ports, but just to confirm you should forward
16953 to 192.xxx.xxx.2

Turn off the SP2 firewall, its rubbish
Do you have any other firewalls?

If all else fails fiddle with your routers security settings until it works (they usually have some firewall stuff, or it might block anonymous requests which potentially causes problems.)

[ICHH]

Yap, ipconfig gives me 192.xxx.x.2. SP2 firewall is disabled and there are no other firewalls. I have tried ABC and BitComet as well. No difference.

What other router settings may affect remote connections?

1. Router = DHCP server.
2. RIP direction: none - "RIP (Routing Information Protocol, RFC1058 and RFC1389) allows a router to exchange routing information with other routers." But I have only 1 router...
3. MTU size = 1500
4. SPI firewall enabled. - "The SPI (Stateful Inpection) Firewall protects your LAN against Denial of Service attacks. This should only be disabled in special circumstances."
5. Default DMZ server disabled.
6. Respond to ping on Internet port: no
7. Port forwarding as mentioned in previous post.

I have tried toggling 4, 5 and 6 to no effect...

[ICHH]

My ISP is using a proxy server. So maybe the following is the problem. But how do I resolve this? Do I have to do anything to the proxy options in Azureus - Options - Connections? If so, what do I do?

Edit: Anyway, Azureus says it's OK during port test under Tools - configuration wizard.

---------------
http://www.boxtorrents.com/faq.php#prox3
How do I find out if I'm behind a (transparent/anonymous) proxy?

Try ProxyJudge.org. It lists the HTTP headers that the server where it is running received from you. The relevant ones are HTTP_CLIENT_IP, HTTP_X_FORWARDED_FOR and REMOTE_ADDR.

Why is my port listed as "---" even though I'm not NAT/Firewalled?

The TorrentBits tracker is quite smart at finding your real IP, but it does need the proxy to send the HTTP header HTTP_X_FORWARDED_FOR. If your ISP's proxy does not then what happens is that the tracker will interpret the proxy's IP address as the client's IP address. So when you login and the tracker tries to connect to your client to see if you are NAT/firewalled it will actually try to connect to the proxy on the port your client reports to be using for incoming connections. Naturally the proxy will not be listening on that port, the connection will fail and the tracker will think you are NAT/firewalled.
-------------------------

Also, IKE mentions Internet Connection Sharing here (http://filesharingtalk.com/vb3/t89859-.html). Is this relevant to Win XP?

[Vargas]

so i was creating a new torrent with the latest CVS version of Azureus v2.2.0.2_B41 and noticed a couple new options, or maybe i may have missed before.

now if they would just add a search option :devil:

[lee551]

that would be a good thing to use right? :rolleyes:

[Mïcrösöül°V³]

does any one use azureus, and if so how does the multi tracker info work when creating torrents? I want my azureus to be able to fall back on another tracker if mine goes down, and i cant seem to make it work. i use az 2.2.0.2, and it dont make any sense to me. i tested it by making a torrent, and doing what i thought was adding the back up tracker, shut my tracker down, and the torrent just stops. it never tries to use the back-up. anyone have any insight on what to do?

[Vargas]

did you upload the torrent to the backup tracker?

[Mïcrösöül°V³]

i have it set up so that the torrents dont need to be uploaded in order to be tracked, same with the back-up tracker.

[leonidas]

the little guys are both green but it still displays 0B/s...

[lynx]

If there's a high seeder/leecher ratio that's not unusual. It probably means there are enough seeders with faster speeds than you.

If it is on torrentbytes that's what usually happens, the admins there don't seem to care that new members can't get a decent upload rate. If things don't improve I'll probably take the same attitude and just leech until they kick me. Not a position I want to take, but if I can't seed what option do I have?

[gspotremover]

was wondering about the same issue - with same program, azureus 2.2.0.2 - but with the difference that I am attempting to upload the torrents to the different trackers; and the only tracker that is recognized is the one which I put in the original "announce URL" blank - the trackers I enter as "new tracker" groups and "new tracker" in the multiple tracker config screen all return a "incorrect announce url" error ...
hoping someone can help - thanks!

[Vargas]

if you open your multi-torrent with notepad you will see that there is a main tracker, then a tracker list.

the trick is to have the "tracker youre uploading to" as the main tracker

with azureus what i have to do is remove "all other" tracker announce urls from the torrent, then hit save, then re-open the "edit torrent" dialog and add the other ones back in, then export the torrent

http://img15.echo.cx/img15/9779/clipboard029uz.png

then i open it in notepad just to be sure the tracker i want is the first one listed before uploading it

[BigTim]

Hi guys,

I've been using Azureus for a while now. Updated it recently, and at first it went a bit funny - all my speeds were really slow, but it seems to have sorted itself out now.

But, I got up this morning, and my uploads are really rubbish. I don't know why at all.

I've taken a picture of my uploads from the activity page, and attached it to this message. As you can see, it stays at a fairly low level, then every few seconds peaks. The thing is, these peaks are not sudden peaks in any of my torrents. What's causing these peaks? Is one of my torrents repeatedly sending information back to the tracker rather than just when it's finished downloading? The thing is, it's not having a very good effect on my uploads - or my downloads really. Everytime the upload peaks, my downloads drastically decrease as well.

The thing is, yesterday, everything was fine: my uploads were at a constant high speed. Can anyone explain this to me? Thanks a lot guys.

[muchspl3]

get the latest java

[BigTim]

I've downloaded that - that was what solved my slow speeds to begin with. As I say, yeseterday it was fine - it was only when I checked my computer this morning that it went like this.

[I the end I]

So I download the new azureus and nothing downloads...The light on the bottom goes green but the torrents stay red no matter how many peers/seeds. My dl says something like 900bytes and so does my upload. WTF?

Edit: By the way, I changed no settings.

[sameer0807]

its workin fine here...I wonder whats the prb though!

[RealitY]

If you have a router did you choose a port and foward it and dont use the standard ones...

[muchspl3]

you need the new java

[I the end I]

you need the new java
Thank you, sir.

What is this cheatage you speak of?

[mr00420]

boosting your share ratio. another thing is that it connects to other trackers even when you're seeding on a private tracker.

You can use an older ver. of azureus: 2.2.0.2 which is connectable to any tracker.

[Hairbautt]

I'm a member from an invite only site, it has all the stuff I downloaded but when I upload it says I've uploaded 0.00 MB while I've downloaded something like 245.8 MB. What's the deal?

[TFFTn]

I simply cannot get Azureus working full stop with Sygate or Kaspersky Anti Hacker.

I was going to try Zone alarm but theres supposedly a compatability issue with the two programs. I have lowered myself to MSfirewall :blushing: ...........shocking :blushing:

MS? Microsoft Windows Firewall, everytime I use that it blocks all my programs even if it IS on the exceptions lists, not to mention ports.

Azureus still don't work? F*** it! :shutup: I had that & it worked until yesterday. Yesterday for some strange damn reason I clicked to open it up...it never opened. So I restarted, tried again, reinstalled it, still didn't work so I just deleted it. I even thought it might be Java, but meh... :ermm:

So I have ABC now, works fine, I like it so go for it. Walk away from Azureus... :dry: (Stopped working ever since the new version came out)

[ready1]

the only reason I use azureus is to cheat on my uploads, would never use it for downloading or seeding.

Cheating with AZ? How's that possible? It's not because I want to know, but I'm just curious :rolleyes: *teehee*

[mr. nails]

all u fagots that don't seed should go to hell! or if i see u i'll ban ur ass off the tracker...

new azureus 2.3.0.2 workz fine 4 me.

[megatronium]

I use bitspirit - what's "seeding"?

[muchspl3]

the only reason I use azureus is to cheat on my uploads, would never use it for downloading or seeding.
lol

[megatronium]

what was funny?

[muchspl3]

the fact he admitted to cheating on a file sharing form is amusing to me

[ready1]

Yeh I do it occasionally, my main point was that thats the only reason I would ever use that pos Azureus.

[DrTroy47]

Azureus works beautifully for me - best BitTorrent client without a doubt.

"But it uses Java" NOTHING. It's great, period.

The blue froggy is great...

[pu43x]

i have no problem with the new AZ works fine for me :)

[bobcntsa]

bitcomet and bittornado for ever (at least for now :p )

[Mïcrösöül°V³]

some trackers have banned the latest version of AZ
yes they have, I have banned it from my tracker also. :)

[Citizenhaax]

I am starting to get fed up with Azureus myself. The memory hoggin has got to end!

[{I}{K}{E}]

the memory hoggin is fixed if you use the latest version of AZ or use Java 1.4.7

[Bitlover]

why the new az be banned

[Formula1]

I had v2.2 and it worked perfectly. now i upgraded to the latest version, which is 2.3.0.2. Now none of the files will connect to the tracker and begin to upload. May someone please help me?

[Rick Phlegm]

Azeurus 2.3.x has some newer security features which should be disabled on private trackers, but I'm not sure if not doing this would stop it working completely. It's worth a try anyway:



You should disable the following options (Tools-Options):

Connection
- Networks --> everything except public IP network - else it wont let you connect to a private tracker
- Peer Sources --> everything From a tracker


Files
- Save peer connections for quick reconnect --> disable it


Plugins
- if Tracker Web is installed then uninstall it with the Uninstallation Wizard: IRC, Tracker Dynmic Pages, Tracker Static Pages
- Distributed DB - Enable the distributed DB --> disable it
- Distributed Tracker - Only track normal torrents when tracker is unavailable --> disable it


Tracker
- Server -->disable everything


Sharing
- Protocoll for shared ressources --> HTTP
- Private Torrent... --> ENABLE THIS!
- leave the others unchecked

That should be it. Suggestions are welcome!

alright, im using a private tracker (torrent-damage.net) , so it maay be the case.

eDIT: The tracker im using (torrent damage), im currently seeing people who are using az 2.3.0.2, and they are able to upload and download this. so i dont think banning is the case. BTW im seeing a red cirle at the bottom of the azureus software with the word, disabled, next to it, may someone help ?

[DanB]

The red light and the world disabled relate to the decentralised tracker sharing thing.


I guess it wouldn't help to tell you that mine is fine

[Formula1]

did you enable distributed database ?

[DanB]

No :D


Did you try the tips Rick posted?

[Formula1]

yes, and it didnt work.

[muchspl3]

:ignored:

[malyo]

I had this problem a while ago. Let me guess you are using java jre 1.4X As somebody already posted update your java to 5.0/1.5 and your problem should be solved.
I hope it works

[Formula1]

I updated to latest java and that didnt fix the problem :( .

[malyo]

Can anybody explain me what the distibuted database and tracker in azureus 2.3.0.2 are? And the green dot with the number of users? What is all this about, can i use it and what for?

[~syrup~]

If your torrent don't have "private" tag, Azureus' will use DHT peers.

aaahhh... me uses ABC now, used to use Azureus and never understood that lol

[~syrup~]

2 Syanide
Don't bother, they try to make public p2p net with torrent protocol, but the best and newest stuff always will be at private trackers, so all these DHTs never will become popular.

[matt526]

Every time I use Azureus, it will run for about 2 hours and then my computer will completely disconnect from the internet, I have to restart my router, modem and computer to get to come back, some times that doesn’t even work.
Last time I had to call my ISP and they said somehow my Mac address in my router got messed up. So I stopped using bittorents altogether for about a month and never had a problem, I also updated the firmware for my router (D-link 640).
Well last night I reinstalled Azureus and started downloading/uploading
And with in a ½ hour I was disconnected this happened twice since last night.
Has anybody had this problem and no of solution?
No I have not tried any other bittorent clients, I love Azureus and I want to fix this problem

[nykobing]

I had this problem when 2.3.0.0 came out. I reverted back to 2.2.0.2 and the problem went away. You may also try to limit the amount of connections (in the transfer part of the options) to around 200. I recently went up to 2.3.0.2 and I have had no problems, but I kept the # of connections to around 200.

I had a d-link at the time also.

[madden player]

I had a d-link at the time also.

Former D-link user myself ... My DI-604 was nothing but an uber pain in the arse.

If you can afford it, the easiest fix would be to purchase another brand of router.

[malyo]

It's not azureus' problem, it's the router's problem, it doesnt like P2P networking. Try searching a forum specifically on your router, maybe you can find more help there.

[Mïcrösöül°V³]

http://www.broadbandreports.com/forum/dlink
check here. They usually have all sorts of useful info. This site helped me with my junk linksys router. :)

[lynx]

It is all very well people saying that it is the router's fault, but that doesn't explain everything.

I had similar problems when I used Azureus, although it would stay up for a couple of days rather than hours. Download speeds weren't too good either, but I blamed that on my ISP. When I changed my ISP and upped the speed to 2Mbps I expected things to improve, but they didn't. As soon as I switched to Bitcomet the problems disappeared.

If you actually study what's going on (Tcpview is useful here) you will see that Azureus keeps a LOT more connections, even if they are inactive. I suspect that is the majority of the problem, particularly on cheaper routers with relatively slow processors.

[TheNobleEU]

Azureus seems to work well for me -- until I want to turn it off.

Without fail, every time I shut down Azureus, it reboots my computer. It's like someone hit the reset button, or yanked out the power cord and put it back in. I've only seen games have this kind of power over one's machine.

Anyone else?

Cheers,
-Noble

[matt526]

Since I started this thread My internet connection has shut off 4 times while Azureus was running :angry: :frusty: , I tried lowering the number of torrent connections to as low as 150 and that did not help. So I think it my be my router I think its getting over loaded, its about 2 ½ years old so it may be time to get a new and better one.
I’m using bitTorrent client right now to see how my router will react to that. We will see! :ermm:

[jbombs16]

What version(s) of azureus are considered good. I mean, ones that arent looked at as possible hackable versions.

[ready1]

I wouldn't consider any of them good.

[jbombs16]

can anyone help me out and not just give me there opinon on azureus?

[Lion7718]

What version(s) of azureus are considered good. I mean, ones that arent looked at as possible hackable versions.

What do you mean bu 'possible hackable versions'..?

[{I}{K}{E}]

What version(s) of azureus are considered good. I mean, ones that arent looked at as possible hackable versions.

What do you mean bu 'possible hackable versions'..?

older versions were hacked (you could upload with 10mbit :P DONT ASK HOW, wont tell )


the latest (2.3.0.4) isnt 'hacked' and works fine.

[Lion7718]

I thought only 2.0.0.2 or was it 2.2.0.0 was the only version..thats why they made the Stuffer Plugin...to block it & other BT Clients.

[erRor67]

THere was a hacked version floating somewhere. It was built from a beta version of Azureus.. RIght now, the newest version of Azureus is fine. It isnt hack yet (As far as i know) and it works smoothly.. Great in my opinion. ;)

[Wallace_Askew]

I hope you are not asking for help with leeching?!?!?!?

[jbombs16]

I'm NOT asking for help with leeching....

I really like the azzureus client and i just dont want to use a version of one that is frowned apon/banned by sites.

[sArA]

I recently upgraded (maybe a mistake) to version 2.03.04.

Anyway, I am not downloading anything, just seeding atm but azureus is showing a steady download of around 39 B/s.

Is this normal in the new version for some reason or do I have a bit of a problem?

[Snee]

It doesn't do that for me :unsure:

And I have the same version.

[dodgy368]

Think I'd be concerned as well, have you checked your firewall to see if you really have stuff coming in?

[Lion7718]

With the last upsdate 2.3.0.4 that needed the new Java 1.5...Azureus added the Swarm Tab..
Thats what I think this is, I also have the samething...since the Swarm Tab is always updating...it has to be that.

[sArA]

I wonder if you are right? Do you have a source for this so I can read up on it a bit, cos I find it a little worrying until I am sure.

btw...



I am runing emule too, but that is usually ok.

I just ran a spybot/adaware scan and neither came up with anything at all…

The system runs daily virus scans and is up to date….

My bandwidth meter with both clients off and no browser open is showing between 120 and 700 B/s is that normal? I have not been paying attention. :blushing:

[Lion7718]

I looked when it 1st cameout but decided thats what it was, but you can look through HERE (http://sourceforge.net/forum/?group_id=84122) and see if you find anything...you don't have to join to read.

[sArA]

Thanks I will :)

[potap3nck]

I had the same kind of problem and I switched to ABC...

[horia]

I think that that trafic is made for protocol, u should check statistics->transfers so u can see there what is the trafic made for...

[Vargas]

yeah it could be a total of all the network (DHT) overhead, ACKs from uploads and range requests plus all the swarm data

EDIT: at less then ½KB i wouldn't sweat it though

[Snee]

It doesn't do that for me :unsure:

And I have the same version.
Actually, now it does exactly the same thing.

Fancy that.

[malyo]

Same thing happens to me and for sure to all who has one of the last two versions of azureus. I'm sure it's totally normal! Another thing is for sure too.. it's not ACKs because they are not over IP. I mean ACK is a protocol that translates an IP to a MAC and no uploader needs to know your MAC :) It is only used on Ethernet(LAN).

[armorer]

You took the labels off, so I don't know what ranges on the fluctuations are, but I had a similar problem. Mine would drop down to almost zero, then spike, then drop back. It started up when I moved, so I suspected my service was the problem. Turned out to be the cable modem they had leased to me. In essence it was a piece of crap. I got a new motorola surfboard and the problem went away instantly.

Of course, in my case that plot in Azureus was the best way I had of visualizing the problem, but it hit my speeds in other things too. Most notably online games. I would be playing WC3 or something and suddenly get dropped. So if anything leads you to believe that it's not just BT that's getting those wierd spikes and drop offs, you might want to look into that.

[coolbeans42]

What advantages does Azureus have over other clients? I read a lot about Azureus causing trouble for people and torrent sites.

[Silver_Wings]

Hi all, I'm new here. Glad I found this site. There's tons of great information here.

Sorry if this has been posted before but I did a search and could'nt find anything on it. I recently downloaded Azureus and love the program but my files won't download automatically. They stay in que until I set them to force download. Is there a way I can set it up so that it will keep a certain number of files loading at all times? Any help would be much appreciated.

[armorer]

I'm not at home so I can't give you the exact setting, but the short answer is yes. You need to go to tools->preferences->transfer and in there you should be able to set a number of parameters about UL/DL bandwidth, # of torrents, and # of connections.

[BawA]

nope its not in transfer menu.
tools>option>queue>set the upload and download numbers there.

[Silver_Wings]

Cool thank you for the help. I'm really new to bittorrents so I don't know what half the stuff in the options menus are for.

[Silver_Wings]

Well I got home and tried both suggestions but the files still will not come out of queue on their own. The only way I can get them to start loading is by forced downloading.

[horia]

tools->configuration wizard and try to reconfig u're coinnection again and be sure to have enable fast resuming. Do u have anything seeded??? somethimes when u have to much seeded u can start new downloads(they start but they r put on hold).

[armorer]

Sorry to point you to the wrong menu, but it sounds like you found it ok anyway since I was corrected. So just to be sure I get it, lets say you have a few things Queued to download, and a few things seeding. Nothing new will start to download unless you force it? In that menu there's a "max active torrents" setting too, which, if you're seeding a few things, you should be sure to set to more than the max downloads number. Otherwise your downloads might not start if you're seeding things. If you're not seeding anything, or you have those numbers set to something that should work, say 4 downloads max, and 8 max active torrents if you are seeding 4 or fewer (not that those numbers are the ideal or anything) and your downloads still don't automatically start, then I don't know what to tell you without really digging around in azureus. (And once again, I'm at work...so I could check when I get home if you want.)

[Shiranai_Baka]

After 2 months, I decided to update my azureus client. Went through 5 restarts. Finally, it finished updating and now it seems that when I have azureus opened, my cpu usage shoots up around 60+%. Anyone else had this problem? Anyone know how to solve it?

[Rick Phlegm]

Got the latest version of Java installed?

[Silver_Wings]

Yep, I want to keep at least 5 torrents loading at all times but once a torrent is finished another one doesnt start unless I force it to. I have a bunch of torrents seeding too so I don't think thats the problem. I also redid the config wiz and made sure that enable fast resume was checked. It seems like no matter what I do the torrents will not start on their own once one has been completed.

u see that is the problem.. try stopping what u seed and then put a new torrent to download... u'll see that it will begin without u forcing it to do so

[nemesis01]

it is a resource hogger i have found, no matter what you try to do. worse when it is checking a file after a bad shutdown.

[{I}{K}{E}]

its not Azureus, its Java that does this.

[nemesis01]

of course, worse for me caus i have a very old pc, newest upgrade was a 128mb graphics card, dunno how java is on newer machines. i have found though that when usage does start getting too much just restart the program and it seems to work fine, until it starts again that is, usually when it has finished a file for me.

[Shiranai_Baka]

Ike and rick were right, it was the java, I had to update it. ridiculous how an update can solve that. Thanks.

[biggulp]

azureus is very feature rich, but is very bloated. i prefer lighter clients like bitcomet.

[martiniman86]

I just switched from "ABC" to Azureus. And I think it is really cool. But does anybody know why it says that I have a download speed when all I'm doing is seeding? Is that some kind of special seeding feature that I'm unaware of? Or is the program lying to me. My ratios have gotten a lot better since the switch though.

[reaktor]

A few things you want to keep in mind. If you download alot and some of the things you download require serials, and like me, you visit sites with porn popup etc for the serials, alot of the times they have a java exploit that more times then not is picked up by norton.

Well what happens is it seems to mess up java, so that Azureus seems to go slow all the time. The only thing that I have found to fix that is a complete reinstall of java.

[Toked]

azureus is very feature rich, but is very bloated. i prefer lighter clients like bitcomet.
I second this! Azereus eats a lot of resources! Use bitcomet!

[NooN]

i use bitcomet too... like it better than azureus

[{I}{K}{E}]

azureus is very feature rich, but is very bloated. i prefer lighter clients like bitcomet.
I second this! Azereus eats a lot of resources! Use bitcomet!

Azureus does not do that, It's java that can cause that.

make sure you have:
the latest version of Azureus,
the latest version of Java.

if it still uses a lot of resources get the latest version of the older Java builds (1.4.2).


also check the options in Azureus. Lots of people complain when they never even seen the option menu :frusty:

[BUFFY007]

Hi all! I registered especally just to post this comment and help out everyone as i had the yellow smiley face problem also.

You need to open up the port range on your router, everyone knows this. This is not neccessarly in the NAT section. There is a fantastic site that will show you how to do this, it lists a number of routers and then you can choose the program as it also shows the ports for that program.

e.g. I chose my router, then azureus. I did a range of 6881 - 6999. Once I did this I saved the settings in the router and restarted it. I then changed the NAT / Firewall test so the incoming listening port was 6881. After awhile (5 mins?) they changed from yellow to green. :lol:


Ok, now heres the site!!!!

http://www.portforward.com/routers.htm

Admins please put this URL somewhere so people can easily modify their router settings. Thanks. :)

[wdsfld]

I've been away for a week and for some reason my computer wont accept bittorrent downloads through azureus, giving me the error Connection Error (UnknownHostException: (the the tracker im trying to download from). I've been trying to sort it for a while with no luck. I'm on a household network useing a BT wireless network 1250. Im sure its something simple and i'm sorry to be a hassle, but as far as I can see im stumped. Plus my MSN messenger has stopped working giving me the command that the service is busy, I know that it is not as I can sign in on other computers in this network. aggggrrrhhhh :angry:

Anyway, any help would be much appreciated. Thanks :)

[wdsfld]

I forgot to mention that since I have been away my brother has been useing my computer. I dont know whether it could have been him messing with the ports that are open or . . . . . I dont know. It all seems the same as when I went . . .BUT ITS NOT!. The firewall settings are still the same, as are my router settings.

Thats all i can think of telling you. Cheers

[JPaul]

Forgive me but what the feck has that got to do with "related to this board".

[wdsfld]

alright sorry. posted it on the wrong board. didnt mean to offend.!

[Rick Phlegm]

What tracker is it? Maybe it's just gone down for a while.

[wdsfld]

oink and uknova. Thats the only ones Ive tried. but as I said I have tried on other computers and it has worked. hmmmm. It wont let me seed either.

[RPerry]

moved to the correct section :rolleyes:

[wdsfld]

thank you. I was about to repost it but I thought that might be annoying for you

[JPaul]

If you were away for a week was the router switched off.

If so the ips (on the lan side) may have been re-assigned, depending on which PC was switched on first.

You could look at the dhcp client table and see which computers are allocated which numbers, then check that ports are being forwarded to the right ones.

I don't use azureus (prefer tornado) so I can't really suggest about t'software itself.

[wdsfld]

ok cheers ill try that. the router wasnt switched off, but I'm not really sure what went on with the network. ill post again if it works

[wdsfld]

nope everything seemed fine. Anyway, ive given in and changed bt clients to bittornado. everything seems fine. Im sure it must have been something stupid with azureus, perhaps something wrong with the version of JAVA I had. Thanks anyway.

[reignking]

hello.

i have what i'm hoping is a simple problem... i'm trying to download a torrent and my normal application wont accept it (bittornado). on the boards it says theres a problem with tornado and to use azereus and it works fine.

so i downloaded the latest version of it. installed it. but when i click on the torrent file it wont connect. it list that there are plenty of peers and seeds but i'm not connected to any of them.

i'm not sure if it's the port? as bittonrado would automatically do the port work for me.

any suggestions to make this work? or what other information would you need to help me out?

btw: i have disabled my firewall for this, and windows firewall is disabled.

rk

[reignking]

never mind... i overlooked opening the port in my router...

duh!

[posty]

Im new here but i wanted to point out my surprise,
maybe i was naive but I thought opensource software meant it would be clean from spyware, but on a recent bitdefender scan i got this warning for
Azureus_2.3.0.4_Win32.setup.exe which I downloaded from the sourceforge site -

Detected: Adware.Exact.Bargainbuddy.O

I remeber a warning on the azureus site saying not to download this from elsewhere, so just to make sure I went here
http://azureus.sourceforge.net/download.php
and downloaded it again just now and scan gives same warning.

[kazaaman]

What antispyware software do you use, I recommend Ad-Aware and Spybot Search&Destroy, not that Microsoft crap, it always detected fake stuff.

[posty]

This was with Bitdefender which is a virus scanner.
I used to use Ad-aware up until it got too comercial, then Spybot, but now from what i heard Spybot is begining to conform to some type of regulation laid out by a regulatory body and that doesn't sound good to me.

[phrax]

It's completely safe. You most likely downloaded a screwed with version. Make sure you get the real version as linked above. Can i recommend you download and run microsoft anti-spyware?

[oxygenuk]

i use that old version 2.2 or something.

i dont think ill be updating, thanks for the warning

[borris]

i am using the latest Azureus 2.3.0.4, i have Kaspersky antivirus, Adaware and Ad-watch, with latest definitions, uptill now nothing fishy detected! Azureus does not have any spyware.

[grooman]

I have NOD32, that has a 100% detection rate since 1998, and I use Azureus and it never has gived me a warning about it, so that should be a fake warning. ;)

Also use Spybot, Ad-Aware, SpywareBlaster and none gave me a warning about Azureus...

[cheatz]

Azureus doesn't have spyware, you would have heard alot of complaints about it if it were.

[Dredpirate]

Downloading spyware from Sourceforge. Not impossible, but also not very likely.

[lazyme]

Azureus is clean...Spybot and Ad-aware dont detect anything

[sArA]

imo azureus is clean but on occasion java updates can cause my av to react, but thats about it.

Perhaps you should run a full system scan, you might be infected and its showing up through azureus.

Otherwise, I don't have a clue sorry :blink:

[oxygenuk]

http://tanyvska.co.uk/Azureus/Calc/

enter your details in the top 2 boxs and do what it says in all the boxes below and your all set ;)

[kalonation]

How do I get rid of those pop-up messages that appear at the bottom right hand side when I open azureus??

[Hunted]

Well, give more of a description, there are a few different reasons those will pop up... if it says something about Unup, just go to options --> plugins --> unup --> then uncheck it

[miklosh]

Just use the HIde button.

[Tago Mago]

I'd be most grateful if any Azureus users could offer the benefit of their experience. I've been using it for the the first time to download a big music torrent (2.58gb), which wouldn't open with BitTornado, which i normally use.

Just got home and I think it's downloaded okay- it says 100%, and it's moved down from the leeching to the seeding window, but it's stopped seeding saying 'error-data missing'. Playing some files at random, it all seems intact. It's taken a big dent out of my ratio at Oink, so I'd like to be seeding it now, but not sure how to restart it, and don't want to do anything that might mess up the files I've downloaded. Any advice gratefully received.

[Gordy]

Have you tryed downloading the torrent-link again then try reseeding it?

I dont know if it will work.

[tralalala]

hey guys, it seems that any torrent i am downloading that isnt under the forced download option, stays grey for absolutely ages, and simply doesnt download.

i was wondering if there was an explanation to this..


thanks :)

right click it and choose "force start"

[jetje]

well, it could be that the path and filename is too long...
you saved it probably in a sub sub sub directory where the original torrent already was having sub dir's and a pretty long name...?

just a guess

[Oddish]

It says they added this functionality in a recent version, but I can't find it.
Ability to stop seeding after a given share-ratio is reached (at least 1)I expect that it's a global setting, but where is it? What I really want is to be able to set this individually for each torrent, but I guess that's too much to hope for when it comes to Azureus. ABC kicks Azureus' ass in that regard.

[derfgh]

yea..that happens to me too. i just put every dl to force DL and they do dl. it does what its supposed to i guess

[Vargas]

i think auto priorty and seeding rules decide how many torrents will queue, forced download just over-rides those configurable rules

[elvolumen]

put the exact text in google and maybe you can find it

[Oddish]

put the exact text in google and maybe you can find itI did, but no dice. I thought maybe someone over here knew how, but I'm starting to think it's not possible.

[lvlaverick]

download the plugin speed scheduler the rest is self explanatory



lvl

[Oddish]

download the plugin speed scheduler the rest is self explanatoryThanks for the tip, but that's not at all what I'm looking for. Those of you who've used ABC know what I mean. You right-click a torrent in the list, select its properties, and set it to stop at a certain ratio. That's what I need in Azuerus. I can't use ABC anymore cause it crashed like 4000 times per day.

[Vamp]

My download of Indigo Prophecy has stopped at 89.9%, I'm still downloading and uploading it at high speeds, but my download rate is displayed in yellow, and the percentage is no longer increasing...Any advice?

[orcutt989]

No more seeds perhaps?

[(>Zero Cool<)]

Hi folks

Looking for a bit of help/advice with my Azureus problem. I have been using the program for a fair while with no probs at all, till now......:cry: . Basically the following happens: I start up Azureus and everything works fine for a short while then for no apparent reason the program shuts itself down :blink: The icon is still in the bottom right of the taskbar (the program itself is NOT running now though) until I mouse over it and it disappears. When I restart Azureus it tells me that it has not shut down tidily and to look up the Azureus Wiki for the term 'Azureus Disappears'. I have down this but cannot find a cure. This is causing majoer problems as I kick off downloads then leave my machine on to let them finish, however when i return I discover that Azureus has shut itself down shortly after I started it and I don't get my downloads:frusty: . This is particularly a problem if the torrent has an expiration date and I miss getting it. Any help would be VERY much appreciated.

Thanks in advance.

Utorrent is the way forward.


Aternatively have you tried the old unistalling/uninstalling trick?

[CifrOoZ]

Utorrent isn`t good for me at all.. Too slow uploads, you can`t compare, how it was with BitComet and with Utorrent, so i`m using mid - Azureus, downloading is slower than usuall, but uploading is ok, i got problem sometimes, then azureus just freezes;[

[(>Zero Cool<)]

Utorrent is the way forward.


Aternatively have you tried the old unistalling/uninstalling trick?


Hiya Dan, how goes it?

Utorrent ...ta I'll have a look see, never heard of it before :)

Yeah done the old uninstalling reinstalling trick no joy unfortunately:(

[Loomie]

try stopping it and then restart it, that should fix the percentage problem.

[drmendel]

Just in case anyone's having trouble with NAT errors and this router (like I did for months), make sure you set up a static IP and then bind Azureus to your static address.....of course you also have to set up port forwarding on your router and create exceptions for any home firewall (including the one with windows XP).

drmendel

[captkickass]

ive seen a bunch of threads concerning this allready, read the tutorials and faqs.

im using azureus. i have a cable modem. no router of firewall. no nat errors. im download a 650 mb. file with 2 seeds and 2 peers and a download rate of 2-10 kbps

is this normal. 23 hours to download
and the program makes my internet browser. firefox run extremly slow

[testos]

try uTorrent it's 100 times better than azureus easy and cool :)
www.utorrent.com

[captkickass]

thanx man ill give it a try and post the results

[testos]

but with your torrent there 2seeds and 2 peers , could really take long time, but for the problem with firefox, utorrent will solve it ;)

[captkickass]

u torrent helped the firefox problems thanx

[molotov6o9]

hey im new to the torrent buisnes and im using utorrent, it seems to be running exteamly slow. some told me it might be because of my ports. so i need info on how to open my ports so it might run faster?

[Little Tornado]

Hi. I disabled several RSS feeds on my Azureus RSS Feed Scanner for a while. Now, I've rechecked the boxes to enable the feeds again, but the Scanner isn't connecting to the feeds. Instead, they're all set to "pending". I've tried restarting Azureus thrice and also rebooting my PC as a whole, but nothing is working. Anyone know what I can do to get it to connect properly to the feeds again?

Thanks!

I know this may have been posted before, but why are my dowloads on azureus listed in green, but stopped for the last 2 days on the same %download? They have not moved and do not show a DL speed. how can I correct this?

[Mïcrösöül°V³]

ok, Ill say it............how many seeders are there? I would guess 0?

[cool skill]

I downloaded the latest version of Azureus from this site:
http://azureus.sourceforge.net/

Does anybody know if this is safe and clean with no malware or anything?

[pavlidisd]

I haven't heard anything bad about this client...

[tesco]

No spyware with it.

[{I}{K}{E}]

Azureus does not install any extra software.



please use the search option there are already lots of threads about Azureus

closed.

I want to know if there is a way to program several files downloads with Azureus.
Example: I have 3 files and I want the first download to start next hour, the second, after 3 hours, the third, after 5 hours or so... It would be ideal if the client could also stop each download after it is 100%done (regardles of the ratio!!!).
Please do not tell me about setting download priorities (high and normal), because it is not the same thing that I am asking here...
Please help me with this, or recomand another BitTorrent client which could do these...

[Cata34]

nobody?

[Rip The Jacker]

I don't know any BT clients that can do what your asking... I know BitComet can't...

I guess you could add all the torrents to a download manager, and have them download and open one by one... and set your BT client to auto start the download after the torrent is open... damn.. now that I think about it it sounds like too much work...

Ok, recently there was an automatic update for Azureus,
and well, that is always good, but the thing is that now I don't know how to
share or seed a torrent that I crate.
You see, before I just went to 'File> Open torrent(for sharing)', and that was it,
but now that option isn't there anymore.

[DrBeerMan]

Just click file,open>torrent file, then change the add mode box to 'seeding'.

[worldpease]

ooh, Ok, I see it now...
thanks man.

[Oddish]

Ok, since it's not possible to set specific torrents to stop seeding at X %, does anyone know of another client that has this functionality, other than ABC?
