bittorrent question

shrinkydinx · Nov 14, 2004

can someone tell me why some of the torrents i get, even though they have 1000 seeders and 2000 downloaders, never connect in azureus?

some work fine and then some just refuse to ever download...

Is it just me or was there already a thread alot like this one recently.

Reconfigure your firewall. Its blocking ports used by BT.

yeah, it disappeared...?

i am on a wireless network (linksys g router) ... what will i have to do to stop it from blocking bittorrent's port?

OK, thats what I thought.

I dissapeared for a reason. Tread carefully on the legality issue.

There is nothing illegal about BitTorrent

Until you use it for illegal things, and mention about said things. Which may have been discussed in a thread reminisant to this one, that got nuked.

I know what you are saying. But don't let things like that keep you from discussing it. Depending on how things happen BitTorrent and related technology could be the saviors of the independent internet.

thats why I'm saying tread carefully. because on this forum if you mention certain things the thread dies. I would rather have this discusion omit legality issues and live.

end of thread jack

because their were things mentioned that violated this rule

6. ABSOLUTELY no posting of Warez (Pirated Software) or links to Warez sites. All such sites are illegal and pose a threat to our continued existence.

There are Torrents that are locked to "Member's Only" so you may not have access to them. It could also be that its taking extremely long to connect with the seeds. Sadly BT isnt perfect & somethings are bound to go wrong with it.

well im pretty sure its the wireless router..... but i dont kno the login info for it

Gnerma · Nov 15, 2004

You need to pull out your manual and read it bro. It'll tell you how to log into your router and how to forward ports.

shrinkydinx · Nov 15, 2004

i know how to log into a router, i dont know the login info. the guys whos it is doesnt know what he changed it to.

Gnerma · Nov 15, 2004

Try resetting the router, there should be a reset button on the back somewhere. Not sure if this will work or not though.
