Hello,
Up until recently i am finding it imposible to get a greenlight when downloading using bittorent. I am using shadows client. I am behind an SMC router but i forwarded the ports. I even double checked that port 6969 was forwarded and it was. I just want to know why i cant get a green light? I am downloading slower than normal (around 30kb/s) and cant get that green light.
Thanks
you need to open 6881 to 6889
find your router here http://portforward.com/routers.htm
follow the instructions carefully
alrite i did that and i still cannot get it back to normal. When i click on the "display green when firewalled" it will display green so obviously i am not doing somthing right. When i forward the ports i have to forward them indivdually and that would take a huge amount of time, are there any keys ports that BT uses?????
anyone?
Have you read through the port forward topic in hte bittorrent -> tips section, i know you've forwarded the ports, but there might be some useful info in there, eg a while ago I wrote
and there may be more suggestions in there.Quote:
if you've forwarded the ports as described and you still have problems try turning off the option to block anonymous internet requests (if your router has the option)
Also do you have a software firewall (maybe even just the xp built in one, though i doubt it could actually block anything), if not then the only other suggestion i have is to fiddle with your router's security settings and try and find whatever is causing the problem.
alrite thanks. i dont have a software firewall. I disabled the one that came with XP a while ago.
