Can't get Azureus to work.

bittorrent, Azureus, port forwarding.

I used the search feature on the forum and tried all the other advice posted here. I have weeks trying to resolve this issue I also called my router's tech support directly and had them help me set a static IP and then forward ports just to make sure it was done right. However, I still cannot get a single download/upload to go. I need help!

I want to make sure I cover everything so this is what we did. I don't know if it's a good idea displaying all this info. but I don't know enough about this to care

All these different IP addresses and such are really confusing me. I'm sure the problem is simply a wrong number somewhere, probably something real simple.






Also, DMZ is enabled. Can you see something wrong? I'm bafled!

Thanks

::Note - that last IP address has been changed to .50 as well.

Now, when I load Azureus, these are the error messages I get:








edit:: Firewall is disabled and no antivirus program is running.

This may be too obvious to work, but I suggest trying to disable window xp sp2's native firewall, or any other anti virus programs that you may have with a firewall in them. By the way, DMZ is a linksys invention that lets ONE computer bypass the firewall which apparently is part of the router, so it's hardwired..but it looks like you set it up so it bypassed that.

One question: can you get plain vanilla bittorrent to work? I know it uses mostly 6500+ ports
I'm assuming your internet works, heh.

uh, also I suggest changing TCP/IP to automatic and see if that helps, but make sure to record the information if it doesn't. I don't see how making it static would help at all unless it was to utilize the DMZ utility.


Edit : I actually took a look at your pictures this time, and it shows that you have made your IP address (...)20 and your router is giving the go ahead for .50 AND you didn't check the enable box to allow those ports.

So try changing the router's display to (..)20 instead of .50 and check the box for that first thing because those look like the right numbers for bit torrent.

Also change it from TCP to both , because I think it may use both. Maybe it doesn't.

I got into changing it to static in the first place (believe me, this was a pain to learn) because it wasn't working. Internet is working fine and I am under no firewall.

Wait..

I changed some entried in the network connections, internet connection, properties and the errors went away. I also changed the IP entry to .20 from .50. The tech support guy told me to put in .50. That didn't make sense even to me.

developing..

I used to work for tech support.

They always joked about how stupid users were.

I cried at how stupid they were. They always made shit up out of their ass, didn't care about people who were genuinely frustrated with what they didn't understand, and they were so self righteous it made me sick. I quit.

Hell I remember getting in trouble with my boss for taking the time to explain to a woman and her daughter how a system worked and how to maintain it themselves rather than just fixing it.

btw sorry for going off on a tangent, I just remembered when you said the guy had told you to change it without explaining why. I'm no genius but I hope it works now. It should have just worked if you switched it to 20 from 50, and kept the static IP and changing it to dynamic might switch your IP around. So you might want to keep it static and use the numbers in the screenshot.

Man I hope I didn't accidentally make you lose internet connectivity.

well the screenshot says 6881 tcp is being forwarded...not UDP as the error message states...also the ip addy in the linksys screenshot is 192.168.1.50 not 192.168.1.20 like the box says...

on further looking the second thing I said may be the larger issue.

Set your static IP to something and set the exceptions in the router to the same number, and check the box next to it.

So for example, set your static IP on your computer to 192.168.1.20, your subnet to 255.255.255.0, your gateway to 192.168.1.1, your primary DNS to 192.168.1.1 and your secondary to 38.9.212.2 and set the exception in the router from port 1 to 99999 or whatever for 192.168.1.20 (completely opening up your ports - this is just to let it to work initially) and enable that with the checkbox. And set it to 'both' for protocols.

Also I still suggest trying plain bittorrent to make sure it's not the program.

Ok. I solved the NAT problem (thanks to you all btw). But I'm still getting red smilies.

I used port 30001, clicked on both and changed the IP to .20.

MMmmmmm..

I will continue again tomorow. I'm out of ideas..

edit: I also uninstalled and reinstalled the new version.

I looked up azureus port # and I think it's 6881 so go ahead and make sure at least that is open via your router and enabled for your IP address of 192.168.1.20

ports 6881-6889 are the standard (default) ports for the BitTorrent protocol. Many ISPs block these ports because more than likely, 60%+ of their traffic is bittorrent related.

The beauty of programs like Azureus is that they allow you to change the ports that you will be using the protocol on. I personally use 10500-10510. You need one port open for each torrent file you are using. This will not effect the speed, client/tracker negotiation or anything like that. You just need to make sure that you have tcp _and_ udp port forwarded to the specific IP address that you are downloading your BT files to.

Any other suggestions? lol

Ports 6881 don't work in my system. Maybe my isp has them blocked, I don't know. I'm using port 30001 and a NAT test gives all ok's. Why am I still getting red's?

Okay. Maybe it's the torrent file or the tracker. Start up Az, and look at the columns on the top half called "seeds" and "peers". If the tracker is working fine, there should be two number in each column that sort of look like this -- 14(37). The number outside the parentheses is the number of people that you are semi-connected to. If all you see is 0, then there might be a tracker issue. If you see 0(45), the tracker is fine, but you can't connect to anyone for some reason.

Just as an experiment, go to a linux site such as Debian, Ubuntu, Mandriva and download one of their torrents. There should always be plenty of seeds and peers to download off of, and the tracker doesn't require registration. If a linux torrent works and yours doesn't, we can try something else.

I got AZ to start downloading but only for a select# of files. The top speed I get is 1.2 KB/s.

Any other suggestions?

I'm getting a mixture or red, green yellow and blue smily faces but no activity on most files.

Seeds are all 0(0). Peer values vary: 1(2), 2(4), 8, 0 but no activity.

Okay, that might be why. Did you try a popular torrent like a linux distro? If not, try this. You don't have to download the whole thing, just let it run for 10 or so minutes to see whether it's gonna work. At the time I posted, there are 53 seeds and 20 peers. I can't confirm speeds, since I have other things taking up bandwidth.

I'm guessing that you're getting terrible speeds because there are few people on the torrent.

You have a great point there Slava...

The linux distro I started up is downloading fine. The speeds aren't very impressive, oh wait, it just climbed to 65 KB/s. Not bad. Maybe it is the source that's the problem...

Thanks for the insight..

You might also take a look at the following guide. It might be of some help.

Okay, I got Az to work here. First time ever that torrents work on my home machine. Here are some things I did.

Apparently you need to use ANY port above, say, 40000. No, I don't know why. It may have something to do with unadvertised blocked ports by your ISP.

I had to forward the port I chose, but it looks like you're getting that to work. Use the Az configure checking too.

Also, I had to enable UPNP on my router. Nothing worked before that then blammo, it all fell together. Hopefully that is an option with your router.

Finally, yes: the source of the files can be a bitch. If you have just a few seeders and 50 leechers, you'll get no more speed than you did with your first dial-up modem. Az also allows you to se the up/download speeds so a lot of people will get the file, then seed it with a stupidly low up speed. It's disgruntled internet access at it's finest. If everyone would play fair, this would be a far cooler sharing option than it currently is. Anyway, when you are searching for files, at the very least find some that have a good seed/leech ratio to get you started. Otherwise you'll get things like an ETA of 5d 23h.........Yeah, I'm griping. There are lots of other speed problems than can be tweaked. Google is your friend.
