i didn't and i have a green checkmark in utorrent. did you change utorrent settings to use a port above 45000?

[cow800]

yeah i did change it to a port above 45000 but surely iptables will be blocking it because it dosn't tell you to add a rule for it

Ubuntu desktop never comes with root user enabled. Just type

sudo passwd root
enter a new password and you'll enable root

did you install a firewall yet? if not, i can't think of any other reasons why you wouldn't get connections on a well-seeded torrent. i didn't have to change anything regarding iptables.

i have installed fiestarter as the guide said. I am downloading/uploading on the torrents , but at the botom it says i have connection problems and its not a green tick. also the speeds are not too good.

I also cannot access my ftp . it just says access denied
what happens if they find out its being used for torrents?

try to change your port number, close utorrent, close the xterm terminal that launched utorrent, and then change the vsftpd.conf to the new port number. kill the vnc server. wait a few mins. then restart the vnc server, start a fresh utorrent and see if you get your green check.

sometimes if i close utorrent and open it again too soon i won't get the green check again without changing the port and restarting everything.

I changed the port number and it seems to be ok now. Gonna try messing about with the ftp tomorrow cos its driving me mad now
