Torrent????

Hi, i am running vista 32x premium. i am a LEGAL user of utorrent. this computer i am on is new, i got it yesterday. all day i have been trying to figure out how to fix utorrent. everything works fine except, there are no icoming connections. if you use u torrent, you know that there is a green triangle which says its connected. WHY WON"T IT CONNECT? i have all security off now, yep EVERYTHING! HELP!!!

 

Are you sure its your computer settings, and not that of your router?

 

wel my xp computer works fune

 

wow, im still getting used to my notebook keyboard.

Well my xp computer works fine

 

ok, i got it connected, but it is very slow

 

Did you correctly forward ports on your router? Your other computer can still work while your new notebook doesn’t because port forwarding is set based on LAN IP (which are different for each PC if you have both of them connected at the same time).
Visit portforward.com/ for more information about why and how you should do it.

 

the Vista software firewall is probably messing you up.
make sure the ports are open in the Vista firewall in addition to your router.

Also, if you are already using it on your XP machine, and have your router set to forward ports to that machine, you will probably want to change the port settings in utorrent, and forward the new ports through your router to the new pc. I did this with my two pc's; works like a charm. (if that doesn't make sense, let me know and i'll write up more detailed answer)

 

i am not using a normal router. it is a datel wifi mx, which is like a usb router. all i know is that my xp computer connects and downlods fast, and the vista connects and downloads slow

 

well if its a router then you need to forward the port

if u have done all that then also go to a speedtest site and see what speeds you're getting. also did u configure your firewall right as well?

 

Certain AV programs if you disable them will turn off a whole bunch of ports and :. make your internet run quite slowly. It's probably best to set up an exception, and allow your AV program to run in the background.
Continuing on sideswipe's theme, go to dslreport (I think :S) to find your connection speed.

well basically, it takes like 10 min for it to say it connected, and it is slow. once it connects, it says it was forwarded correctally, but it is so slow!

 

look at the attached file

 

somthing else i noticed... i can connect easier now, but the speeds are as if i wasn't connected. the speed is the same weather i am connectted or not. also, my desktop that did work before now does the same thing, it SOO SLOW! Help!

 

Who is your ISP? My ISP started to block my downloading after I had used to much bandwidth. Give them a call to see what is up.

road runner... they said that they didn't know how to fix the problem and that they blocked nor limited anything

 

There's your problem.
Spend 30-40 bucks and get a REAL router made for computers.
Then set up different ports on both PCs and forward them through the router.

And if you don't mind my asking, which Roadrunner division (city) are you in?
