So I was using Azerus for a while, and then one day all my torrents reported the yellow smiley face. I am behind a router, but i have all the proper ports forwarded. So, I switched to ABC... same thing... yellow status. Anyone know why this would happen even with the ports forwarded correctly?

maybe your PC's IP changed, and your router is forwarding to the old IP

Nope that's not it. I've got it set to static, and I've checked it several times.

Just to clarify, here's my setup:

ADSL -> LinkSys Wireless Router -> WinXP

I'm sure it's not the isp... I called them to ask if they blocked any ports and they said they don't. My downloads do work, they're just yellow, and I'm concerned that I could be getting faster speeds if they were green.

turn off xp's firewall
Nope that's not it either. I turn that off as soon as I install the service pack.

Dang this burns my biscuits.

Hmmm actually I think I don't have the latest java... lemme go d/l that and see if that's it.

That did not seem to help =(

Also, verified that firewall is indeed turned off.

And what does the Azureus NAT/Firewall Test say? There is a small possibility that things are fine on your machine and the problem is you are trying to connect to people who has not forwarded their ports.
If the test says that you have a NAT problem look that you don't forward the same port to different IPs (i once did that).
