Weirdness.

For about a year I've had my router setup correctly, and constantly got green lights.

Last night, first time I downloaded a torrent from Lokitorrent, I got a consistent yellow light.

I had two torrents open at the time(never been a problem before though), so I thought having only 20 ports open might be choking it, so I upped it to 30 ports(60000-60020 to /00-/30), and now got a yellow light on another torrent, and another tracker(empornium).

All I did was increase open ports by 10??

NATcheck said it couldnt get through on any of those ports either, althought the bittornado torrent said it could.

So I changed the open ports back to 6880-6900, and all my torrents are green again.

wtf?

Was getting a yellow light on some torrents but green on others. Using a router with port forwarding.

This worked for me:

3) Open bittornado go to Prefs-->advanced
Under Local IP, Put your WAN (wide area network) ip. To get your wan
Ip check status in your routers configuration.

At whatismyip.com it gave me:

Your IP Is xxxx
Proxy Detected Is xxxx

I assume it's due to that proxy.

Download rate gone up from 2-5k/s to 60k/s+

Thanks for the help :)

Sry for doublepost, just to clarify, the ip it gave me at whatismyip.com is the one I entered into BT advanced prefs.

You can't remove the firewall from xp, idiot, you can only disable it from being run through services. Firewall has nothing to do with it anyways. I had cable with a green light & max 40+kbp/s up speed. I switched to dsl & now have 80+kbp/s up speeds & only once now have had a green light, even after configuring dsl box. I could care less for a green light as I can for speed. Though having it green is a more efficient way to swarm. Still, my ratio is better than ever & takes 1/2 the time to finish

From what I have read, SP2 plays a lot to do with slow download speeds. Something to do with limiting the TCP to 10. There's a patch out there that changes that number to 50. Unless your computer is well protected from hackers, worms, viruses, etc, I wouldn't advise it. I applied the patch and it helped me out tremendously! I'll see if I can locate the link for the patch and list it here.

robbo95-

Here is the link to Patcher Version 2.23. http://www.lvllord.de/?lang=en&url=news You can read up about in under FAQ. Also, here is a link to find your local IP address. http://www.whatismyip.com/ Place that number under OPTIONS, CONNECTIONS, BIND TO LOCAL IP ADDRESS. Those two changes really speed up my downloads by a ton!! Good Luck!!!

Post subject:  firewall

one way around it would be using some other firewall program, not the one from XP....

Lets face it: Windows sucks! Of course it´s a great package for people who dont wanna know what theyre doing, just wanna do it.
But once you start USING your computer, man it sucks! I only keep using it cause i study architecture and the softwares i need only run on Win...

I get greenlight for certain torrents and yellow for others. I use torrents from a single website only.
This is what i have noticed when I connect to yellow ones
1) I can download easily from peers but cant download from seeds.
2) if there are 7-8 peers I connect only to few peers and very few seeders.
3) i download from seeds @ around 1-2KBps for a few seconds and no downloads from them for a long time although there maybe only 2 seeders and no peers using that torrent.

I am using a dial up internet service with 56kbps modem (no router) and my OS is winxp pro sp2 with firewall disabled. I also have norton antivirus 2005 with worm protection disabled.

I use naviscope ( a IE plugin) which sets a proxy and is very useful in browsing. Bittornado seems to use naviscope only for announcing and for downloading it bypasses the proxy i think. And I have got lots of greenlights even with naviscope on.

Post subject:  green and yellow lights

Just an observation and question as I lack the expertise of the other contributors:
switced from cable where light always turned green to ADSL where 75% of time they are yellow. Still successfully download all torrents so I'm not sure what difference it makes.

question: when downloading I sometimes notice inconsistent speeds. Up and down. when it stays below 3 kbs for awhile I stop and restart the torrent and usually enter a different swarm where the same thing happens. I believe it is the torrent sites tracker creating the problem (as people drop out of the swarm they do not seem to be replaced).

Any comments?
